Find 3PL Providers in Southern Sweden with Prime Penguin

Are you introducing your e-commerce business to the Scandinavian market? Or perhaps you’re a Swedish e-shop on the hunt for reliable 3PL providers who can take over the management of your fulfillment flow while you focus on growing your business? Either way, we’ve got some great news for you: As a result of our continuous expansion, the Prime Penguin 3PL network now spans the entirety of southern Sweden. From northern Stockholm, through Gothenburg in the west, and all the way down to the bustling city port of Malmö,  our third-party logistics providers are primed and ready to handle a wide range of inventory and offer several international delivery alternatives.

If you’re still hesitant as to why you should outsource your logistics to a 3PL provider in Southern Sweden,  let’s have a look together at all the reasons why Sweden (and Scandinavia in general) is the obvious choice for outsourced logistics management in terms of:

• Growth potential within the e-commerce industry,
• Geographical location, and
• Technological advancement.

 

Swedish E-Commerce: A Thriving and Rapidly Growing Sensation

Recent studies published by Ecommerce Europe show that “of the 9 million people in Sweden, over 70% of them (8.1 million) regularly shop online, each spending on average €1,668 per year” on retail goods. Even more recently, Swedish delivery service Postnord showed that as many as 9 in 10 Nordic consumers engaged in some form of e-commerce shopping. With these numbers in mind, it is safe to say that the Swedish (and Nordic) e-commerce market is bustling with life and ready to take on new challenges. More specifically, it seems that Nordic consumers are becoming more and more interested in “purchas[ing] from other countries,” with “80 to 90% of consumers […] engag[ing] in ‘cross-border’ e-commerce.”

Still, with a thriving market comes customers with high demands and expectations. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary before you venture into Nordic e-commerce to ensure that your logistics are streamlined and ready to meet the demands of Nordic buyers. And what better way to ensure that your supply chain is up to par than leaving its management in the hands of Swedish 3PL providers who already work closely with Swedish consumers and suppliers on a day-to-day basis.

 

Stay Close to Where it Happens: Choose a Satellite 3PL Provider in Sweden for Optimal  Speed and Sustainability

On that note: If your business is in the process of expanding abroad and Scandinavia is on your list of potential markets, there really is no reason to keep your supply chain close to home. Instead, outsource your logistics management through Prime Penguin’s network and stay in close proximity to your Swedish customers. Having a 3PL provider close to Swedish cities such as Stockholm, Gothenburg, or Malmö enables businesses to cater to the needs of not only Swedish customers, but indeed customers all over Europe. The advanced port- and air systems in southern Sweden give your e-shop a valuable connection to leading e-commerce markets in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and the rest of the European mainland continent. But perhaps above all else, allocating your (entire or parts of your) logistics management to southern Sweden brings forth geographical proximity to your Scandinavian customers, which in turn will ensure speedy and much more sustainable deliveries.

 

Next Level 3PL Providers: Make Use of the Renowned Swedish Infrastructure

Besides its ideal location within the Nordic region of continental Europe, Sweden — the southern region in particular — sports some truly powerful infrastructure facilities, making it the ideal location from which your e-commerce logistics can be managed and supplied. The Swedish infrastructure includes, among other things, high-grade rail and road transport systems coupled with exclusive sea connections and an extensive network of productive seaports.

Below, we have gathered a comprehensive list of the infrastructure and communication facilities in southern Sweden:

Air

Sweden currently operates 41 active airports among which approximately half are international airports. The busiest airport in Sweden is by far Stockholm Arlanda Airport, which maintains excellent domestic connections with the rest of Sweden while concurrently housing and supplying the main weight of international air traffic and, subsequently, freight load. Besides Arlanda, there are a number of smaller (yet just as technologically advanced) airports noteworthy for their contribution to effective domestic and international shipping of commercial wares. These include:

• Malmö Airport, 30 km southeast of Malmö
• Kristianstad Österlen Airport, northeastern Scania
• Ängelholm-Helsigborg Airport, northwestern Scania
• Bromma Stockholm Airport, just outside of Stockholm
• Göteborg Landvetter Airport, approximately 25 km east of Gothenburg
• Halmstad City Airport, province of Halland
• Stockholm Skavsta Airport, approximately 100 km south-west of Stockholm
• Växjö Småland Airport, central Småland

Train

The railroad system in Sweden is the 22nd largest in the world, with 15006.25 km of track and a history dating as far back as 1855. Additionally, the Swedish railroad system is part of the International Union of Railways (UIC), ensuring that European standards of mobility, communication, and sustainable development are continuously being met. There are a number of high-speed trains and advanced railroad systems that take approximately 4–5 hours to travel from the city of Malmö (Scania) to the Swedish capital of Stockholm. In addition, there are international train services that allow you to seamlessly connect with destinations such as Copenhagen, Oslo, Berlin, and Hamburg.

Road

An intricate network of high-speed motorways runs through Sweden and the islands of Denmark — crossing over the Öresund Bridge from Copenhagen, through Malmö, and all the way to Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Uppsala. Because of this physical connection between Sweden and Denmark (which, despite its modest size, holds great commercial value for the rest of the Nordic region due to its mainland connection to continental Europe), road-based shipping from southern Sweden to continental Europe is a great and oftentimes sustainable option to airborne freight alternatives. The Swedish system of motorways is still being extended, but already there is great connectivity by road to various domestic and international destinations.

Waterway

With a 3,218 km long coastline, Sweden (and the southern regions in particular) boasts a multitude of ports, waterways, and ferry services that work together to further strengthen the country’s connection to the rest of Europe.

• Helsingborg Harbor
  The Helsingborg harbor provides round-the-clock ferry services to destinations such as Helsingør (Denmark), Oslo, and Copenhagen. Additionally, there are great ferry services to the Netherlands, Russia, Germany, and Estonia.
• Copenhagen Malmö Port
  “One of Scandinavia’s largest port operators with an infrastructure customized for all types of vessels“, the Copenhagen Malmö port is the ultimate waterway connection between Sweden and Denmark.
• Trelleborg Harbor
  Trelleborg is located in the southernmost part of Skåne, approximately 85 km from the German border. It has a harbor that provides ferry services to Rostock and Sassnitz, Hanko, Gdynia, Bremerhaven, and Southampton.
• Ystad Ferry Port
  The ferry port in Ystad is located on the southernmost coast of Sweden, south-east of Malmö. The port offers ferry services to locations such as Swinoujscie in Poland.
• Port of Falkenberg
  Positioned on the west coast of Sweden, the port of Falkenberg (within close proximity to the city of Gothenburg) has direct links to the E6/E20 highways – which cover the distance between Malmö and Oslo, Norway – and to the national road system.
• Port of Gothenburg
  Situated on the west coast of Southern Sweden within the city limits of Gothenburg, the port of Gothenburg is the second-largest in all of Sweden and the country’s most trafficked in terms of cargo shipment.
• Ports of Stockholm
  The Port of Stockholm handles most types of goods and provides full services for international and domestic shipping. The port of Stockholm is a full-service port situated right on the Baltic Sea, making it a vital connection to countries such as Finland, the Baltics, Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland.
