The expansion comprises the extension of the existing premises by about 8,000 m2 together with the purchase of new land totalling 55,000 m2. Construction is expected to begin shortly, reaching completion in the autumn of 2010. The building will then cover some 68,000 m2, with 240,000 m2 of adjacent outdoor storage space, making it the largest such warehouse in Northern Europe.
“This project was originally initiated in 2008, but was put on ice due to the turbulent and uncertain market situation that began to arise at the time. Today, we feel that the economy is approaching a turning point, and as such we want to be well-prepared in terms of logistics in order to maintain our market-leading position," says Göran Näsholm, CEO of Ahlsell AB.
