“En gång om året ska branschen mötas – inte konkurrera”

30.10.2025 9:37 am Comments Off

När Logistik & Transport går av stapeln i Göteborg nästa vecka 4–5 november är fokuset tydligt: logistikens roll för att skapa affärsnytta. Matthias Kettelhoit har varit med sedan mässans början. Nu berättar han om syftet bakom årets program, de stora trenderna som formar branschen – och hur det känns att återigen kliva upp på scen som moderator efter 20 år.

Du har varit med och byggt upp programmet till årets Logistik och Transport-mässa i Göteborg. Vad är tanken bakom panelerna och vad ser du mest fram emot under dagarna?

– Jag var med och arrangerade Logistik & Transport vid den tiden det startade, med målet att lyfta logistikens betydelse för svenskt näringsliv. Vi har fått ihop ett väldigt intressant program, med fokus på hur logistik kan bidra till att realisera företagens affärsmål och skapa värde i bolagen.

I år medverkar ett stort antal vd:ar från olika delar av branschen. McKinsey står för omvärldsanalysen och vi fokuserar bland annat på Automotive, Retail, Health Care, Automation, Transport, 3pl, System och logistikfastigheter – som ju är vårt eget område. En gång om året tycker jag att branschen ska mötas för att dela erfarenheter, inte bara konkurrera. Syftet är att visa goda exempel på hur företag faktiskt kan öka sin lönsamhet genom smarta och effektiva logistiklösningar. Det är det de här två dagarna handlar om.

Vilka förändringar i omvärlden tycker du har haft störst påverkan på logistik- och transportsektorn de senaste åren?

– Jag ser tre huvudtrender. Först och främst det osäkra världsläget med nya tullar, krig, energilösningar et cetera. Därefter de miljökrav som ställs på branschen och slutligen beredskapsläget – omvärlden är instabil, och det påverkar leveranskedjor som man byggt upp under lång tid. Det är bland annat dessa trender vi kommer att titta närmare på.

Hur känns det att vara tillbaka som moderator?

– Jag har gjort det i många år tidigare, i mitt ”gamla liv”. Det känns nästan som att återuppleva gamla minnen från tiden då jag ledde mässan för 15–20 år sedan. Tillbaka på scen, precis som förr – och det är roligt! Någon scenskräck har inte smugit sig på. Många av dem som talar på mässan har jag haft förmånen att samarbeta med i olika roller under mitt yrkesliv, så det blir både intressant och stimulerande.

Enköping’s Business Park continues to grow. It’s now clear that Logicenters will continue its establishment in the area where it will develop 12,200 m2 for Jobman Workwear AB. The facility will be ready in the first quarter of 2024.

In line with increasing demand for efficient logistics, Logicenters is involved in developing Enköping’s Business Park, just north-east of the central city. A lease has now been signed with Jobman Workwear AB to develop an additional 12,200 m2 in the area, where the workwear company will become a long-term tenant.

“Logicenters has offered a very good service and we are grateful for this collaboration, which will increase our opportunities to grow as a company. With a logistics facility in Enköping, we can offer our customers in Central Sweden and the rest of the country an even faster delivery”, says Joakim Rothschild, CEO at Jobman Workwear.

The property, Hagalund 1:34, will be developed according to Logicenter’s ambitious sustainability profile and will be ready during the first quarter of 2024. The area already houses companies such as Kronans Apotek and Enköping Maskincenter.

Logicenters to install solar cells across 800,000 m2

10.02.2023 7:35 am Comments Off

Logicenters is continuing to concentrate on a sustainable future. To lead the move towards a carbon-neutral sector, the company has decided to more than double its ownership of solar cell installations in the coming years.

With a sustainability goal to be completely carbon neutral by 2028, Logicenters has decided to pioneer the use of renewable energy at its facilities.
The decision has been made to cover roofs with solar panels on all new builds and to install them on existing roofs where possible.

In total, Logicenters aims to install around 800,000 m2 of solar cells over the next three years. This area is equivalent to a total of 133 football pitches. In total, this investment would generate potential annual production of 85,000 MWh, sufficient household electricity for more than the whole of Östersund (24,290 households).

“The logistics property sector has the necessary conditions and therefore a responsibility to take a leading role in the expansion of solar energy on our large roof areas. We are also building for tomorrow, when solar power will be used to charge the electric distribution vehicles of the future. It is here that we at Logicenters feel we can make a big difference,” says Jon Malmsten, solar energy expert at Logicenters.

Over the last year, this ambitious solar cell strategy has already seen construction of the largest roof-mounted solar plant in the Nordic region, covering 80,000 m2. The plant was built for Dagab in Bålsta and is set to become operational in March.

“For me, it goes without saying that we should continue our commitment to solar energy for a carbon-neutral tomorrow. The property sector continues to account for 40% of global emissions and there is an urgent need to find better ways both to develop and to operate properties. Everyone must assume responsibility and it is our ambition to be at the forefront of the Nordic market,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO of Logicenters.

DS Smith is a leading global provider of environmentally sustainable packaging solutions, paper products and recycling services. The new premises in Pirkkala will enable it to streamline its operations and strengthen its position outside Tampere.

“We are delighted about this partnership and look forward to moving into our new facility. Logicenters has responded to DS Smith’s requirement for a modern and sustainable building in close proximity to attractive transport routes. The production in Pirkkala and Tampere, when combined with that of our other factories, will enable us to deliver exactly the type of cardboard packaging our customers need,” says Ari Viinikkala, CEO at DS Smith, Finland.

The logistics centre is located in the Tampere region, one of Finland’s most strategic locations for logistics management, with fantastic opportunities for HGVs to access the E12 motorway. Pirkkala airport is also just ten minutes away.
