Swisslog expands presence with new Technology Center Office in Mjärdevi and become part of Linköping Science Park

16. desember 2024

Swisslog, a leading global provider of automated logistics solutions, is set to establish a new office for its Technology Center in Linköping, Sweden. The move is scheduled to take place in April 2025, marking an exciting new chapter for the company's growth and innovation efforts.

This expansion will not impact the vital role that Boxholm continues to play in Swisslog’s global operations. Approximately 100 of the 250 employees will remain in Boxholm to maintain essential production activities. This decision underscores Swisslog’s commitment to the Boxholm site, which has been a key part of its operations since mid 1980’s.

New opportunities in an innovation hotspot

The new office will be located in Mjärdevi and become part of Linköping Science Park, a renowned innovation hub that hosts more than 600 companies. The move aligns with Swisslog’s strategic goal of fostering closer connections with cutting-edge talent and being part of a collaborative ecosystem of forward-thinking companies.

“We are thrilled to establish our new office in Mjärdevi and become part of the Linköping Science Park,” said Jonas Karlström, Managing Director of Swisslog Technology Center Sweden. “This move allows us to be closer to a rich pool of talent and to benefit from the dynamic and innovative environment that the Science Park is known for. At the same time, Boxholm will continue to play a crucial role in our production operations, ensuring continuity and stability.”

The Linköping Science Park is recognized as a vibrant hub for technological innovation and collaboration. Lena Miranda, CEO of Linköping Science Park, expressed her excitement about Swisslog’s arrival.

“We warmly welcome Swisslog to Linköping Science Park,” said Lena Miranda. “Our ecosystem thrives on the exchange of ideas and collaboration, and having Swisslog’s Technology Center office here further strengthens our community of innovators. We look forward to supporting their growth and development in this dynamic environment.”

Commitment to legacy and future growth

Swisslog’s expansion into Linköping signifies a step toward future growth while honoring the company’s legacy in Boxholm. The dual-location approach allows Swisslog to remain agile and adaptable in an evolving global market. By maintaining production in Boxholm and establishing an office in Linköping’s vibrant innovation ecosystem, Swisslog aims to leverage the strengths of both locations.
