What Extended Armen does

Förlängda Armen AB, operating commercially under the brand name "Farmen" (website farmen.se), is a Stockholm-based logistics and distribution company founded in 1979. It provides a multi-service logistics platform spanning courier (budtjänster), distribution, temperature-controlled transport, and warehousing for businesses in the Mälardalen region (Stockholm and Uppsala). The company's operational backbone consists of a fleet of approximately 110 vehicles of varying configurations, supported by a 16,000 sqm terminal facility with approximately 1,000 sqm of refrigerated storage and 250 sqm of frozen capacity. It is certified to ISO 9001 (quality, 2016), ISO 14001 (environmental, 2016), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety, 2020) standards.

The company operates four core products: Farmenpallen (online-bookable same-day pallet delivery in Stockholm/Uppsala with tiered pricing from 195 SEK to 495 SEK), Distribution Stockholm (fleet-based distribution services), Lager & Logistik Stockholm (warehousing, cross-docking, pick-and-pack, and e-commerce fulfillment), and Budtjänster (express courier with Budget/Economy/Normal/Panik tiers). Underlying technology includes GPS-equipped vehicles, handheld in-cab computers, the Opter web portal serving customers, contracted carriers (åkare), and drivers, plus EDI/XML-based integration with customer enterprise systems. The business is privately owned by founders Christian Andersson (VD) and Johnny Wallman (Koncernchef), with approximately 33 employees and a network of contracted carriers supplementing the direct workforce.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through transaction-based fees: per-pallet pricing for ad-hoc SMB shippers, fixed-price, per-stop, or hourly billing for customized enterprise distribution contracts, and storage fees for warehousing clients. Go-to-market combines direct consultative sales for enterprise distribution solutions with self-serve online booking (Farmenpallen) for smaller or one-time shippers. A "challenge proposition" offering comparative proposals targets businesses currently using other logistics providers, while a customer portal at k2.farmen.se handles ongoing booking and shipment tracking. Disclosed revenue was approximately 150 million SEK in 2019 (up from 140M SEK in 2018), with the most recent third-party validation being the Nordiskt Tillväxtcertifikat 2024 growth certificate from UC.

Broad incumbents

• DSV: Global transport and logistics provider with substantial road, air, sea, and warehousing operations in Sweden. Comparable at the industry level, offering the same categories (distribution, warehousing, contract logistics) but at far broader scale than Förlängda Armen.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global logistics company with road, contract logistics, and warehousing operations in the Nordics. Comparable at the category level (freight, warehousing, integrated logistics) but as a much larger, multi-region player.
• DB Schenker: Global freight forwarder and contract logistics provider with Nordic road transport and warehousing operations. Comparable on integrated distribution and warehousing services but with a much wider geographic and service footprint.
• DHL Supply Chain (Sweden): Global contract logistics and supply-chain provider offering warehousing, distribution, and value-added services in Sweden. Comparable on warehousing, cross-docking, and managed distribution services for enterprise shippers.

Direct peers

• PostNord: Sweden's national postal and logistics operator offering parcel distribution, warehousing, and freight services across the Mälardalen region. Directly comparable as a same-region distribution and warehousing peer with overlapping courier and pallet-style offerings.
• Bring (Posten Bring): Nordic logistics and courier operator providing parcel, freight, and warehousing services throughout Sweden. Comparable to Förlängda Armen on regional distribution, courier tiers, and bundled logistics services for B2B shippers.
• Best Transport: Swedish freight network aggregating regional hauliers for distribution and transport services, including palletized and express delivery. Comparable as a Sweden-focused freight and parcel distribution operator with overlapping customer segments.

Emerging players

• Airmee: Swedish same-day and last-mile delivery provider focused on e-commerce shippers in the Nordics. Comparable on same-day delivery services in urban Sweden and the SMB/SME customer segment.
• Instabox (formerly Budbee): Sweden-headquartered last-mile parcel and e-commerce delivery specialist using parcel lockers and home delivery. Comparable on the time-definite, e-commerce-focused same-day delivery dimension but with a different last-mile delivery model.

Others

• PostNord Strålfors (communication/logistics division): Adjacent B2B communication and logistics arm of PostNord serving enterprise customers in the Nordics. Included for ecosystem adjacency (B2B logistics workflows in Sweden) rather than direct competition.
