Get a quote

We simplify the Nordic logistics of customers operating in FMCG, retail, automotive, cold chain, industrial goods, and specialised sectors such as chemicals and metals. Using our broad industry experience and owned assets, we customise solutions to individual customer needs to ensure a smooth and timely supply chain.

So, whether it’s flexible warehousing, efficient cross-docking or value-added services like repairs and display building – we have the expertise and network to help you grow in the Nordics.

What can Contract Logistics do for you?

A tailored plan that keeps improving

We provide a dedicated point of contact from our team of experts, who helps determine a customised solution for your needs. Together, we’ll set measurable KPIs. Then we collect and analyse clear and actionable data, enabling us to deliver operational efficiency, accurately forecast your volumes, and proactively adjust them if needed.

What our customers say…

“Miele and DFDS are committed to making continuous improvements based on our shared KPIs. That includes more sustainable solutions.” - Vilhelm Boije, Director Supply Chain Management, Nordics & Baltics, Miele

"We needed a partner who could manage the full import flow. DFDS showed they had the setup, people, and professionalism to handle it all." - Elisabeth Eriksson, Senior Strategic Planner at Martin & Servera

Flexibility to handle unexpected changes

Behind every operation is a combination of infrastructure and processes designed to handle uncertainty.

For importers, this means being able to manage delayed or uneven inbound flows. We can scale warehouse space, handling capacity, and outbound transport when goods arrive later or in larger volumes than expected.

For exporters, it could mean having the flexibility to hold goods when outbound flows slow down, without disrupting production or increasing risk. Whatever the challenge, we have the assets and flexibility to find the solution.

"Supply chains have been tested in recent years. Being flexible, transparent, and working as true partners, we handle changes in the best possible way.” - Andreas Karlsson, Managing Director, Contract Logistics Sweden

Perfectly positioned for Nordic flows

DFDS operates a Nordic logistics network built around strategically located hubs such as Jönköping, supported by port-connected facilities in Gothenburg and Karlshamn. Whether you need standard warehousing or a custom-built operation in a new location, our flexible approach and industry expertise ensure we can accommodate your demands. Our contract logistics solutions further support efficient, scalable operations tailored to your supply chain needs.

With 6 warehouses, DFDS provides over 130 000 m² of total storage space and manages more than 180 000 pallet positions. Supported by scalable multi-client setups, modern warehouse systems, and integrated transport solutions, we are well-prepared to flexibly handle your inbound and outbound Nordic flows.
