Supply chain provider GEODIS extends its contract logistics capabilities in Sweden with the addition of a 20,000 m² warehouse close to its existing facility at Arendal, near Gothenburg.
The location of the second warehouse of the company in Sweden offers easy access to the E6 and E20 motorways and the port of Gothenburg.
In addition, the extension has a railhead within the property, clearance heights of twelve meters and thirty-five loading docks.
The new facility will be fully operational as of March 2023.
Managing director of GEODIS in Scandinavia, Magnus Tornerhjelm said, “Our role in serving our customers contract logistics demands involves a variety of multimodal means of product supply and distribution to ultimate destinations. Our choice of location and warehouse facilities has been influenced by these dynamics and we are well-placed to access variable transport options.”
According to GEODIS, facilities in Arendal are expected to feature cross-dock unloading and loading activities backed by full contract logistics services of inventory control via WMS, re-packaging and distribution throughout the Nordic region.
GEODIS beleives the availability of extra storage capacity will aid its customers’ freight forwarding activities when their own yard resources are exhausted.
Thomas Kraus, GEODIS president & CEO North, East and Central Europe, commented, “We are growing our footprint in Sweden in line with customer demand and our strategy for the future development. Customer reaction to our comprehensive services has been very positive over the last year, and synergies with end-to-end management of customers’ product supply chains offered by our international freight forwarding operations have been most beneficial to them.”
