Royal Den Hartogh Logistics establishes operations at Sundsvall Logistics Park – a strategic move for sustainable transport in northern Sweden

Royal Den Hartogh Logistics has signed an agreement with Sundsvall Logistics Park, marking the start of its operations at one of Sweden’s most modern and sustainability-certified transport hubs. The establishment, which will begin on a smaller scale alongside ongoing permit processes, is a key step in the company’s strategy to strengthen its presence in Scandinavia and offer environmentally friendly and safe transport solutions for liquid chemicals, gases, feed and food products, as well as dry bulk.

Den Hartogh plans to handle ADR goods, liquid chemicals, and other industrial cargo in Sundsvall, with the goal of establishing a Logistics Service Center (LSC) offering services such as heating, cleaning, storage, and repair. This move is an important step toward creating a chemical cluster in northern Sweden, with Sundsvall as the hub and ambitions to expand into Norway and Finland.

Sundsvall Logistics Park offers a modern and strategically located infrastructure with direct connections to rail, road, and sea – a crucial factor in Den Hartogh’s decision to establish operations. Sustainability is central: the logistics park is CEEQUAL-certified, meaning it meets high standards for environmental performance. The park has already reduced carbon emissions by over 860 tons through the use of eco-concrete, eco-asphalt, and recycled materials.

– Sundsvall offers the perfect base for us in northern Sweden. It has the right logistics infrastructure, proximity to port and rail terminals, and a shared vision of partnership and sustainability. This creates optimal conditions for establishing a chemical cluster that strengthens the entire region. We look forward to contributing to the future of transport – smarter, greener, and safer, says Fredrik Kimfors, Managing Director Scandinavia at Royal Den Hartogh Logistics.

Sundsvall Logistics Park is a collaboration between Sundsvall Municipality, the Swedish Transport Administration, and SCA, and includes a combined terminal, container port, rail connections, and logistics areas. The project was completed at record speed and has been operational since 2024.

– The fact that an international player like Den Hartogh chooses Sundsvall Logistics Park shows that our focus on sustainability, efficiency, and strategic infrastructure is paying off. We’ve built a modern transport hub that meets today’s needs and tomorrow’s demands for climate-smart solutions, says Sven Magnusson, CEO of Sundsvall Logistics Park.

Den Hartogh aims to bring its climate-neutral operational model to Sundsvall. Investments in environmental technology and sustainable solutions are a natural part of the company’s strategy.

– This is a strong endorsement for the Logistics Park and for Sundsvall. Den Hartogh’s interest in establishing here strengthens Sundsvall’s position as a logistics center and improves conditions for both existing businesses and future investments in our region. Sundsvall Logistics Park is an infrastructure investment aimed at long-term growth, and today’s announcement is an important first step, says Niklas Säwén (S), Chair of the Municipal Executive Board in Sundsvall.

With over 2,600 employees worldwide and a fleet of more than 25,000 tank containers, 5,000 dry bulk containers, 500 tank trailers, and 900 trucks, Royal Den Hartogh Logistics is one of Europe’s most innovative logistics providers. The establishment in Sundsvall is a clear expression of the company’s ambition to contribute to the future of transport – smarter, greener, and safer.
