DHL Express invests EUR55 million in new facility near Stockholm Arlanda Airport

DHL Express has begun construction of a new DHL Express gateway facility in Arlanda Stad, close to Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The facility, which is being developed in partnership with Slättö, through its logistics and light industrial platform Evolv, a Nordic developer and owner of logistics and light industrial real estate, represents a total investment of more than EUR55 million and is planned to become operational in 2028.

With its strategic location in Arlanda Stad, close to Stockholm Arlanda Airport and key road connections, the new gateway will strengthen links between the Swedish market and the DHL Express international network, covering about 220 countries and territories worldwide. The investment will provide DHL Express with additional capacity to meet future export and import demand and continue supporting Swedish businesses with reliable international express services.

"Global trade is evolving rather than slowing down. We're seeing companies diversify supply chains, expand into new markets and place greater emphasis on resilience and speed. For Swedish exporters, this creates opportunities across established trade corridors as well as newer growth markets. At the same time, sectors such as industrial technology, life sciences, advanced manufacturing and e-commerce increasingly rely on fast and reliable international logistics. With higher uncertainty and volatility in global supply chains, customers are also turning to international express networks as a secure, reliable end-to-end option for their heavier weight shipments. This investment ensures we have the capacity and connectivity to support our customers as these global trade patterns continue to evolve," said Gareth Biggs, Managing Director, DHL Express Sweden.
