Creating mutual value
Introduction

The deal is truly a new chapter in the history of Maersk Logistics warehousing.
Scope of operations
The warehouse will operate as the strategic storage and despatch location for the Nordic and Baltic states with an annual throughput of more than 100’000 pallets.
Mutual value
“MLog was awarded our business as they offered the most strategic location near the port of Gothenburg and because of its proximity to our client base. In addition, the MLog warehouse provides easy access as a first-class road and rail network to the rest of Sweden. It is important for us from an environmental point of view to have the shortest distance between our factories and our customers, as well as choosing the best transportation mode”, says Eva Liv, Regional supply chain manager, NPPE Nordic & Baltics. “MLog understood our requirements, our culture, our values and core objectives early on in the process and designed a very good solution with focus on adding long term value to our company” Eva concludes.
“We felt that we matched NPPE’s objectives, values and beliefs” says Claes Nyberg, Site manager MLog Sweden. “Credit must go to NPPE who were very forthcoming in providing necessary data and information so that we could design a long term solution tailor made for NPPE requirements and execute on a robust implementation plan against a challenging schedule” Claes continues.
After a short implementation phase, the operation is now up and running. “Now it’s time to start developing the business we have together so that we can continue to add value to NPPE", Claes concludes.
