Nowaste Logistics chooses Swisslog as partner for new logistics center in Helsingborg

In collaboration with the city of Helsingborg, Nowaste and Catena are developing a logistics center of almost 80,000 m². The facility, which is being built with very high sustainability ambitions, is expected to employ around 300 people on completion.

"We have been entrusted with delivering an automated pallet warehouse to store and handle pallets in Nowastes' new logistics center,” says Jens Erik Jøranli, Sales Manager Integrated Solutions at Swisslog.

The facility is based on some of Swisslog's most competitive and well-proven technical solutions, including ten Vectura stacker cranes, 56,000 pallet locations, conveyor systems and Swisslog's SynQ WMS, which will be integrated with Nowaste Logistics' proprietary control system.  

Sustainability requirements are high at Nowaste Logistics and the ten Vectura cranes supplied by Swisslog are designed with particularly high energy efficiency.  

"Large parts of our delivery are handled locally in Sweden and delivered by local staff, which strengthens our relationship and our good, innovative cooperation with Nowaste Logistics' competent staff," says Jens Erik Jøranli.  

"By analyzing and calculating our customers' needs ourselves, I think we are a good requirement setter to work with, in connection with automation projects. Together with Swisslog, we have for the last two projects, Stigamo just south of Jönköping and Ramlösa in Helsingborg, found a methodology that works very well for us," says Patrik Johnfors, Solution Design & Implementation Manager, Nowaste Logistics.  

Back in the early 2000s, Nowaste Logistics and Swisslog began a partnership that has resulted in a number of automated systems, including two AutoStore solutions, two automated pallet warehouses, with a third now underway, and a range of other solutions such as robotic pallet picking. 

The construction of the new pallet warehouse in Helsingborg will begin in January next year and will be completed in Q4, 2025.
