New highly automated logistics center brings hundreds of jobs in logistics and medicine.
Apotea
Construction has officially started for a state-of-the-art logistics center in Varberg, Halland. Apotea, Sweden’s largest online pharmacy, is spearheading the development of this new logistics hub on the west coast, and the groundbreaking ceremony has taken place at Holmagärde, just outside Varberg.
A Significant Investment for Halland
The expansive logistics center is set to cover an area of 30,000 square meters and is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
Situated close to the E6 highway, the 30,000-square-meter facility represents a significant investment in the region. Not only will it serve as a logistical cornerstone for Apotea, but it is also anticipated to generate hundereds of new job opportunities. The positions will span various roles within the logistics sector and medicine.
Clear Sustainability Profile
The logistics center will be highly automated with a clear sustainability profile, green energy solutions, and a solar panel installation on the roof.
The location next to the E6 and the proximity to both Gothenburg and Malmö are highlighted as important factors, but also the access to electricity supply. The municipality of Varberg is happy that this establishment can mean hundreds of new jobs.
