Industrial & logistics

Thanks to its motorway proximity, Logistikparken Aarhus west of Aarhus has developed into a prime industrial/logistics location. Danske Fragtmænd was the first company to relocate here, and several large companies have followed suit, including Brixius Trading and Søstrene Grene, the latter completing a logistics facility of 31,200 sq m in 2018. In 2019, Advansor moved into its new headquarters (approx 10,000 sq m) at Rosbjergvej. When fully developed, Logistikparken will extend to 177,000 sq m commercial space on 44 hectares in total. Also in the Logistikparken area, at Årslev, Salling Group has built a large-scale distribu- tion centre. In this location lies the 23,000 sq m fresh produce terminal of Netto, serving all Netto supermarket stores west of the Great Belt. In addition, there is a 53,000 sq m non-food terminal that serves all Føtex and Bilka stores in Denmark. Other prime locations include Hørning, where Frode Laursen, Antalis and Hørkram are located, and Hasselager, where COOP has its fresh produce terminal for all of western Denmark. Older industrial clusters are found at Lystrup, Brabrand, Viby J and Risskov. Commercial areas along the E45 motorway, defined as Skanderborg/Stilling south-west of the city and Hinnerup/Søften to the north-west, are also popular with logistics and wholesale businesses due to their proximity to the Aarhus, ensuring easy access to a strong recruitment base. Important companies located in this motorway corridor include DHL, Freja Transport & Logistik, Bridgestone and GLS.
