Frode Laursen constructs a 90,000 m² new sustainable-certified logistics centre in Denmark.

The transport and logistics company Frode Laursen is building a new DGNB-certified logistics centre in Vejle, Denmark, focusing on sustainable solutions. In the first phase, approximately 20,000 m² will be ready for use in the summer of 2025.

Frode Laursen is adding another logistics centre in Denmark. The company, which is a leading company in the Nordic region for the transport and logistics of FMCG and building materials, has begun the establishment of entirely new storage facilities covering 90,000 m² near Vejle.

High demand for FMCG solutions
The new logistics centre will be centrally located in Jutland. It will, among other things, complement Frode Laursen’s existing logistics centre in Hørning near Aarhus, which is at total capacity.

“We are experiencing strong interest in our solutions for FMCG. Therefore, we are building and designing specifically for this purpose, focusing on high efficiency, quality, and sustainability. This means that in the future, we can offer even more opportunities to our current and prospective customers,” says Frode Laursen’s CEO, Thomas Corneliussen.

Sustainable concept
In recent years, Frode Laursen has built all new logistics centres based on their Green Warehouse Vision. This ambitious construction concept can be certified under the recognized DGNB Gold standard.

This involves a range of new and innovative solutions to reduce the climate and environmental impact, both in construction and the subsequent operation of the logistics centre. Additionally, Frode Laursen will implement several solutions to promote biodiversity in the area.

“For instance, we will use recycled steel, CO2-neutral insulation, install heat pumps, and recycle rainwater. Furthermore, we are setting up a large area of solar panels on the roof and will utilize the latest solutions for intelligent electricity use inside and outside,” explains Thomas Corneliussen.

Once the site is fully developed, Frode Laursen will have approximately 300,000 m² of warehouse and logistics centres in Denmark alone and an additional 400,000 m² in Sweden, Finland, and Germany.
