Right now, we’re constructing an entirely new logistics site in Falkenberg—an operation that’s not only large in scale but also groundbreaking in its design. With Carlsberg as our first customer and capacity for more, we’re creating a solution where automation, sustainability, and quality go hand in hand. This is more than a construction project; it’s a strategic step toward the future of logistics.
The facility will span 38,000 m² and store up to 75,000 pallets. We expect over one million pallet movements per year, handled by automated trucks and shuttle systems. On peak days, between 4,000 and 5,000 pallets will be processed, meaning up to 100 trucks will deliver and collect goods in a single day.
This will be a highly automated solution, staffed by around 15 people, with the rest managed by robots. This is the future of logistics—in practice.
Carlsberg will be the first customer at the site, but the facility is designed for more than one operation. We’re creating a flexible platform that can scale and adapt to different needs, both in volume and complexity.
- This is an opportunity for us to show that we dare to invest in innovative logistics solutions together with our customers. We’re building a solution that is robust, scalable, and ready for the future,” says Linus Pehrson, Speed's Site Manager.
Linus Pehrson was born and raised in Falkenberg, where he now gets to help build something big—literally. With a background in Customer Supply Chain at Carlsberg, holding roles from production planning to automation, he brings extensive experience across all aspects of logistics.
- I’ve worked in almost every department within Carlsberg’s supply chain, but the role as Head of Automation is probably closest to what I do today, Linus explains
After five years as a golf caddie on the European Tour and a long career at Carlsberg, he was drawn to Speed by the people and the company culture.
- I liked the people I met at Speed. There was drive and a genuine will to make things happen. Getting the chance to lead an operation of this scale is an exciting challenge.
As Site Manager, Linus has a clear focus: building a strong team and a culture where quality, safety, and job satisfaction permeate everything. In the start-up phase, we’re putting great emphasis on identifying and addressing root causes of problems to prevent inefficiencies from carrying over into daily operations.
- My most important task is to create conditions for solving problems immediately. We want to build an operation that works smart from day one.
Sustainability is a natural part of the Falkenberg project. For logistics, it means creating conditions to optimize resources and minimize waste. For the building itself, it means constructing according to BREEAM certification, considering environment, energy, material choices, and indoor climate at every step. Solar panels will be installed on the roof to help power operations with renewable energy. This is an investment in the future—for us and for our customers.
Construction in Falkenberg is on schedule, and we expect to be ready in April. That’s when we transition from building to operating and start delivering world-class logistics solutions. We look forward to welcoming Carlsberg and future customers to a site where automation, sustainability, and quality are standard.
