Löfbergs wants to build new storage rooms in Karlstad
The number of products is
increasing, and so are the volumes. With that, Löfbergs's storage rooms in
central Karlstad, Sweden, have become too small. Now, the family-owned coffee
roaster is turning to the municipality of Karlstad to be permitted to build new
storage rooms outside the town centre.
- We really need to expand our storage capacity. With a new, modern facility, we can centralize our storage rooms to Karlstad. Today, they are scattered around Europe, says Lars Appelqvist, CEO at Löfbergs.
- We are looking for a location with good road and rail connections to get a long-term solution that makes it possible for us to continue growing - both in Sweden and on our export markets, says Lars Appelqvist.
Developing Bryggudden
Even if Löfberg's storage rooms move, the office and the roasting house
will remain at Bryggudden in central Karlstad.
- At the same time, the existing storage rooms could bring life to the new district of Karlstad called Bryggudden. It is a total of 10.000 square metres that can be used as office space, shops etc., says Lars Appelqvist.
