German logistics company, Dachser, is expanding activities in Finland with a new logistics centre in Pirkkala, in the south of the country.
Expected to open in the northern summer of 2024, the new general cargo facility will be located at Tampere-Pirkkala Airport, covering an area of around 5,000 square metres.
The region is an important economic area in Finland, and the largest inland centre within the Nordic countries. The new centre will offer local businesses access to Dachser’s dense European overland transport network, the company said in a statement.
Dachser has been active in Finland since 2014, and is already represented with a logistics centre in Kerava, in the Helsinki metropolitan area, which opened in 2019. In Vantaa, Lahti and Tampere, Dachser also has locations specialising in air and sea freight.
Earlier this year the company detailed its epic zero emissions project.
