Ahlsell’s decision to make a major investment in its Norwegian logistics operations is based on strong confidence in the future and further growth ambitions. The new facility will be based in Holmenga and will cover 160,000m2 – having the capacity to handle twice the current volume of the existing centre in Gardermoen.
Ahlsell’s logistics centre at Gardermoen is currently the heart of the Group’s Norwegian operations, with the facility covering more than 100,000m2 – with a high degree of automation. Since the establishment of the logistics centre in 2010, Ahlsell has experienced strong growth and in order to manage further growth, it was necessary to build the new site in Holmenga.
By building new, it will be possible for Ahlsell to further refine efficient production methods adapted to today’s technical possibilities. Another important aspect is the ambition that the new facility will produce more energy than it consumes. Work is already underway on the site and the new logistics centre is estimated to be commissioned in 2026/27.
“We continue to develop our current successful business and secure the expansion for a continuously offensive Ahlsell,” explains Runar Hansesætre, CEO of Ahlsell Norway. “By developing the business in Holmenga, we create additional value for our customers and suppliers. This decision is in-line with our value proposition to make our customers’ everyday business easier.”
