BSH moves into their new extension in Nykvarn

December 16, 2024 12:47 pm Comments Off

A year ago, an expansion of Logicenters’ property in Nykvarn was initiated at the request of tenant BSH Home Appliances. Now, the company has moved into the newly added section of the property – which has a new total area of 47,603 m².

BSH Home Appliances is a leading company in home appliances and small electrical products, representing well-known brands such as Bosch and Siemens. The company has previously operated from Logicenters’ facility in Nykvarn and has now expanded the premises by 7,543 m² to meet increased volumes and support its growing operations.

“Our strategically well-located warehouse in Sweden is ideal in terms of transport networks, access to skilled labour, and proximity to our customers and consumers. These advantages led us to decide to remain in the area, expand our current building, and continue our growth with a strong focus on delivering high-quality services to our customers. The high-quality building was delivered by Logicenters. While the paperwork took longer than expected, the construction process followed the timeline perfectly, which highlights our longstanding and successful partnership”, says Sergey Arsenenko, Head of Logistics Northern Europe at BSH Home Appliances.

The property is strategically located near key transport routes such as E4 and E20. It is just eight kilometres from Södertälje and 40 kilometres from central Stockholm. The highways also provide smooth connections to cities such as Eskilstuna and Örebro, which facilitates both regional and national logistics.

”We are very pleased that BSH has now moved into the new section of the property. During the project, we successfully managed a detailed planning process that resulted in increasing the building permit from 40 percent to 45 percent of the property’s area, which we are extra proud of. We look forward to continuing our excellent collaboration with BSH in the future”, says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO at Logicenters.

Kjell Group invests in a new automated warehouse from Logicenters

December 11, 2024 7:55 am Comments Off

As part of the development of Kjell Group AB as the obvious choice in everyday technology, and to enable continued profitable growth, the company has entered a long-term lease agreement with Logicenters for a new state-of-the-art automated robot warehouse in Staffanstorp. The new central warehouse will enable even faster and more efficient deliveries for both service points and e-commerce.

Kjell Group has entered into a long-term lease agreement for a warehouse property with Logicenters. The new central warehouse is approximately 10,000 m² with the possibility of further expansion in the future. The property is environmentally certified and is designed to minimize energy use with solar panels installed on the roof.

”Kjell has established themselves as one of our most well-known brands, and we are very proud to see them now setting up in Staffanstorp. They are an ambitious and rapidly growing company that we strongly believe in, and we look forward to being part of their continued growth”, says Fredrik Nygren, Commercial Director at Logicenters.

The new state-of-the-art warehouse will have a cost-effective and climate-smart automation solution from Autostore. Robots will pick and pack goods to meet increasing sales volumes, optimize the efficiency of the logistics chain and improve the customer offering. The investment in automation is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 80 million in 2025-2026 and is expected to reduce distribution costs and increase efficiency by approximately 30 percent. The new warehouse is expected to be operational during the fourth quarter of 2025 and fully integrated during 2026.

The innovation project in Bålsta – a groundbreaking showcase for sustainable real estate development

December 10, 2024 4:09 pm Comments Off

Nrep Logicenters has successfully completed a unique innovation project in Bålsta. The state-of-the-art logistics facility is not only the world’s largest hemp-insulated building but also the first to utilize bio-based materials throughout its structure. As part of the project, the company has strived to minimize the carbon footprint of both materials and operations, setting a new global standard for sustainable construction with a total carbon footprint of only 135 kgCO2/m².

This innovation project represents a pioneering effort to significantly reduce the carbon footprint throughout the building’s life cycle. The project incorporates various sustainable solutions such as timber frame, custom-made wall elements, linseed oil-based asphalt, eco-concrete, and solar panels.

“This project stands as a testament to Nreps’ unwavering commitment to driving change in the real estate sector. It is our hope that this endeavor not only transforms the way we approach construction and real estate, but also serves as a catalyst for positive change across industries, making a lasting impact on the world we live in”, says Carl-Adam von Schéele, Head of Nrep Sweden.

With its harmonious blend of aesthetics, functionality, and state-of-the-art sustainability features, this project serves as an inspiration and a blueprint for the logistics facilities of the future. One of the major challenges was finding certified and approved materials that met relevant standards and underwent full-scale testing. To achieve the high sustainability goals of the project, Logicenters had to go beyond existing materials and challenge every detail, resulting in a range of new innovative solutions, such as wooden wall panels with local hemp insulation. These solutions not only minimize carbon emissions but also reduce maintenance needs. An industrialized process to produce this product was developed under the project, making it now available in the market. The use of bio-based materials has reduced carbon emissions by 88%, and the building is also demountable to promote reuse and circularity.

“The project’s total carbon emissions are as low as 135 kgCO2e/m², which, according to our knowledge, is the lowest achieved for a logistics building. Since logistics properties are not subject to the same environmental requirements as, for example, housing, it is particularly important that we ourselves raise the bar and showcase what is possible driving development forward”, says Eva Sterner, Development Manager at Logicenters.

Great attention has been given to the design of both the building and the outdoor spaces, aiming to promote staff well-being and enhance the entire area. The project includes ponds, a pavilion, and recreational areas to create a harmonious working environment. With its wooden construction blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings, the project not only reduces its climate impact but also contributes to a healthy indoor climate and a warm, peaceful atmosphere.

“The building is not only sustainable and functional, but also aesthetically pleasing and architecturally thoughtful. It promotes productivity, community, and well-being, which is quite unique for logistics buildings”, adds Eva Sterner.

With its pioneering sustainability solutions and focus on human well-being as well as biodiversity, this project represents more than just a logistics facility. It sets a pioneering example of how the logistics facilities of the future can look and function.

Ekolution moves in with Logicenters in Staffanstorp and continues its investment in the insulation of the future

February 27, 2024 9:21 am Comments Off

A new tenant is now confirmed for Logicenters facility in Kronoslätts logistics park. The sustainable insulation company Ekolution is expanding its operations by taking over 11,500 m² in an existing property. The move will take place during the second half of 2024.

Ekolution works to address challenges regarding sustainability, energy efficiency, and carbon emissions in the construction and real estate industries – something they have already done in Logicenters innovation project in Bålsta, where they delivered CO2-binding hemp fiber insulation. Before the move, the premises will be adapted to accommodate Ekolution’s machinery in the existing property.

”We are delighted to welcome Ekolution as a new tenant. They have done a fantastic work in our innovation project in Bålsta, and we look forward to following their journey more closely as they move in. The facility will be tailored to their needs so they can continue to offer the construction and real estate industries a more sustainable solution”, says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO at Logicenters.

With its proximity to Malmö and the rest of the Öresund region, the geographical location is attractive to many companies. The facility is five minutes away from the E6 and E22, connecting the logistics park to the highway network in the Nordic region – with fast and smooth transport connections.

“We look forward to moving into facilities adapted to our needs. It allows us to work more efficiently, where we can continue to produce green, CO2-binding building materials. The location is perfect for us, with proximity to Malmö, European highways, and our farmers. Together with Logicenters, we can further expand our operations and strengthen the growth”, says Remi Loren, CEO at Ekolution.

In the early stages, there were plans to build a completely new property in Kronoslätts logistics park, but when the opportunity to reuse an existing property in the area arose, Ekolution chose that option.

”Reuse is an important part of sustainable development and can help reduce the construction industry’s environmental impact by preserving resources and reducing waste, while also saving us time and money in the project”, says Remi Loren.

Logicenters is developing one of the company’s largest solar power installations for Frigoscandia in Hyllinge

December 1, 2023 8:10 am Comments Off

Logicenters continues to invest in renewable energy in its properties. The logistics real estate company is now set to build one of its largest solar power installations in collaboration with Frigoscandia in Hyllinge.

Despite the ongoing energy crisis and a declining economy, Logicenters persists in its sustainability efforts by expanding solar energy on the rooftops of its properties. In partnership with the contractor Soltech, the company will install solar panels on Frigoscandia’s new logistics facility in Hyllinge.

The property will host Logicenters fifth-largest solar power installation, with an installed capacity of, 3571 kWp covering an area equivalent to five football fields. With this new facility, Logicenters will reach a total installed capacity of 38 MW, reinforcing its position as the real estate company with the most solar panels – both in absolute numbers and in terms of managed area.

“It is important for us at Logicenters to take significant responsibility for the energy transition. Skåne County is the area in Europe with the lowest production capacity relative to consumption, so it feels particularly important that we are building here in Hyllinge and helping to relieve the power grid in the region. The electricity from the solar panels will be used directly in the facility and reduce the need for purchased electricity by nearly 25 percent“, says Jon Malmsten, Solar Energy Expert at Logicenters.

Frigoscandia’s new facility, spanning 36,000 m², is expected to be completed in the last quarter of 2024 and will be specifically designed for the storage of food in multiple temperature zones. This is particularly suitable for solar panels, as more electricity will be needed to maintain the cold when the sun is shining.

“For us at Frigoscandia, it is entirely natural to integrate solar panels into our properties to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to our customers’ sustainability goals. Electrification in society is happening at a faster pace than the power grid is equipped for. Therefore, we see solar panels as a necessity to contribute to the common good by relieving the grid when the opportunity arises“, says Mårten Koshko, COO Warehousing & Real Estate at Frigoscandia.
