September 1, 2025 12:16 pm Comments Off

A new, state-of-the-art sorting center is currently taking shape next to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in Finland. The property is being built directly adjacent to the runway and will serve as DHL Express’s main logistics hub in Helsinki.

The increasing need for express transport is now being met by a 16,000 m² facility, strategically located to streamline both national and international deliveries. DHL Express, the world’s leading logistics company, has previously had successful collaborations with Logicenters in several European markets.

“We are really pleased with the completion of the new logistics center. This creates the conditions for growth and helps Finnish companies reach the global market. At the same time, it is a significant investment in the well-being and occupational safety of our employees. We want to continue to be one of the best workplaces in Finland, where technology and well-being go hand in hand,” says Oktay Nuri, CEO of DHL Express Finland.

The new sorting center is currently undergoing full testing, including the advanced sorting system with a capacity of 6,500 packages per hour. The facility is designed to bring together multiple modes of transport under one roof – from air freight to general cargo and vehicle transport – making the logistics chain both faster and smoother.

“We are proud and grateful to be part of DHL Express Finland’s global initiative and expansion of its logistics network. A similar internal logistics solution has not been implemented in Finland before. We are happy to help DHL Express Finland build the logistics infrastructure of the future,” says Jarkko Äikää, Commercial Director at Logicenters.

The project is being run in accordance with Logicenters’ sustainability principles. The property will be equipped with geothermal heating and solar panels, and applications for both LEED Platinum certification and energy class A have already been initiated.

The new sorting center will begin operation in stages during the fall of 2025.
