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.

This creates the conditions for us to continue offering high-quality logistics solutions to our customers. Logicenters are competent in property management, and we feel confident that they will be a good partner that creates the conditions for continued seamless collaboration for our operations”, says Daniel Rhedin, Vice President Solution Design at Logent AB.

The property is strategically located near Highway 53 and E20, with direct access to Stockholm – and by car, you can reach Eskilstuna in just 17 minutes. Buses run between Kjulamon and Eskilstuna every half-hour, making it convenient for customers and employees.

I sell to Logicenters with great confidence, knowing they will manage and develop the property in an outstanding manner”, says Jan Lindberg, Owner of Charmilla Eskilstuna AB.

“We are extremely proud and happy about our acquisitions in Rosersberg and Eskilstuna. The collaboration with Bockasjö has been excellent. They develop properties that align with our business, which is very positive. For Logicenter’s account, this is one of the larger deals in Sweden and we look forward to further expand our presence in these attractive areas. It will be exciting to collaborate with existing operations and to welcome new tenants who want to run efficient logistics operations,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO at Logicenters.

“The deal we are doing together with Logicenters, Bockasjö and Kilenkrysset Sweden is strong proof that good relationships, fine collaborations and professional creation in the form of construction and development lead to positive conditions for both property owners and tenants. I have strong confidence that Logicenters will manage these properties very well, as they have done with our previous deals. I have a very positive view of the future,” says Jan Persson, CEO and owner of Kilenkrysset.

“This deal is a statement of strength in a difficult market. Logicenters has the capacity and muscle to be able to carry out a major deal at a time when many are waiting – that’s strong. The properties we sell are state-of-the-art and adapted to a high environmental standard with solar cells installed on all four properties and located in strategic logistics locations – Rosersberg and Eskilstuna.

Logicenters is building a large terminal for Bring in Vaggeryd

June 15, 2023 7:31 am Comments Off

Logicenters will develop one of Bring’s largest terminals in the Nordic region. The modern facility is expected to be completed in early 2025 in Stigamo, just south of Jönköping, along the E4 highway.

Logicenters continues to expand in Jönköping through the new agreement with the delivery company Bring. In southern Stigamo, a 32,000 m² terminal with smart technology and advanced sorting facilities will be built on the 125,000 m² plot of land.

”We are very pleased to expand our long-term collaboration with Bring and together continue to develop the logistics center of the future in one of the most attractive logistics locations in the Nordic region. With our state-of-the-art, and environmentally friendly property, we will create a good working environment and efficient handling that supports Bring’s continued development”, says Fredrik Nygren, Commercial Manager at Logicenters.

Bring is one of the largest logistics operators with a strong presence throughout the Nordic region. The new property, with the possibility of further expansion, will be the company’s largest terminal in Sweden, with the capacity to handle three times as many packages as the current facility in Jönköping.

”The terminal in Jönköping is the hub of our Swedish operations. In order to continue growing, we need to increase our capacity in Jönköping with a new terminal. The new terminal will be our largest in Sweden”, says Hanna Jonasson, Director of Operations at Bring Sweden.

The new property will be developed with modern technology and adapted to meet Logicenters’ and Bring’s high standards for low energy consumption. Among other things, solar panels will be installed on the roof, and it will be prepared with more charging stations than any other of Bring’s terminals in Sweden.

”We are preparing to use many more electric vehicles than we currently have. In two years, all our deliveries in Sweden will be fossil-free, so the new terminal will have more charging points than any other terminal we have in Sweden”, says Hanna Jonasson.

The property is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025, and the site has space for expansion in the future.

“First and foremost, we welcome Bring to Vaggeryd Municipality. It is a strong company and brand that is now establishing a terminal with us. With this establishment, we further strengthen our position as a logistical hub in Sweden“, says Gert Jonsson, Chairman of the Municipal Board in Vaggeryd Municipality.

“Bring may become a landmark in Stigamo, as the location is very central and visible. It will also be an exciting addition to the existing logistics operations in the municipality“, says Johan Thorsell, Business Development Manager at Vaggeryd Municipality.

For us, it is gratifying that we are strengthening another development project by building in a chilled and frozen plant,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO at Logicenters.

To adapt the facility to the customer’s needs, the property will include several temperature zones, including frozen, chilled and ambient storage.

The facility will also include an office section of approximately 2,500 m² that will be Frigoscandias’ new headquarter.

“In our plan for growth and further development of our service offering, it is a clear strategy to modernize and develop our facilities and infrastructure. The property’s design and location in Hyllinge will have great advantages and we are now looking forward to working in a facility that both helps our customers to meet their environmental goals and the rapid supply chain adjustments that will be required in the future,” says Peter Haveneth, CEO at Frigoscandia.
