Börje Jönsson Åkeri

What Börje Jönsson Åkeri does

Börje Jönsson Åkeri AB is a privately held, family-owned Swedish freight and logistics company headquartered in Helsingborg, founded in 1954 and currently in its third generation of family ownership. The company operates a fleet of approximately 150 vehicles and reports 250 employees across Sweden and Germany, offering a comprehensive portfolio of transportation services including standard goods, temperature-controlled (ATP-classified) transport, dangerous goods (ADR), pharmaceutical (GDP) transport, food and beverage, heavy and oversized cargo, express, international cross-border, intermodal, and air/sea freight coordination. Five physical locations (Helsingborg, Gothenburg, Karlstad, Stockholm, Hamburg) and a German subsidiary (Börje Jönssons Spedition GmbH) provide coverage across Scandinavia and 11 European countries.

The company's underlying operating technology is centered on a 100% fossil-free Swedish fleet running on HVO100, LBG/biogas, and electricity since 2013, with a first electric heavy truck launched in 2021 now exceeding 500,000 miles. Terminal infrastructure includes workshops, tire and paint service, fuel and wash stations, and — under installation in 2024 — a 7-point Megawatt Charging System (MCS), one of the first in Sweden for heavy EVs. Specialized equipment includes Joloda-equipped trailers for paper rolls and industrial cargo, ATP/FNA/FRC-certified refrigeration units with temperature mapping, and ADR-compliant vehicles and drivers. Internal group structure under parent Ulf Jönsson i Helsingborg AB includes Ulf Jönsson Åkeri AB (trucking) and Stay Fresh Sweden AB (fresh goods transport).

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis through quote-based freight pricing with variable fuel surcharges, complemented by managed warehousing (Karlstad) and ancillary services (vehicle washing, parking rental, office space). Go-to-market is sales-led to enterprise and mid-market shippers via dedicated sales managers, phone/email, a self-serve T5 booking portal, and physical office coverage. The customer base spans pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical, industrial manufacturing, and international trade segments, with named strategic accounts including Kenvue. Certifications include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, GDP, ADR, ATP, ECL, and Fair Transport.
