What Skanlog does

Skanlog is a Nordic third-party logistics provider headquartered in Greve, Denmark, founded in 1994 by Benny Winther and Erling Carlsen as Skandinavisk Logistik. The company operates across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland, providing specialized warehousing, handling, freight and distribution, supply chain management, and IT-enabled logistics services to enterprise customers in four verticals: beverages (wine, spirits, champagne, beer), home appliances/white goods, e-commerce, and automotive. Skanlog's positioning is concentrated in regulated, complex-to-handle categories — particularly alcoholic beverages requiring excise bonded warehousing and temperature/integrity controls for premium brands, and white goods requiring specialized equipment, time-window deliveries, and installation services. The company is described as the largest independent logistics provider in the Nordics within the wine/spirits and white goods segments, with a warehouse footprint exceeding 200,000 m² across facilities in Greve, Ballerup, Aarhus, Taulov, Randers, Eskilstuna, Jordbro, Haninge, Oslo, and Turku, plus a 50% stake in trucking company PP Jensen A/S for last-mile distribution in Denmark.
