What ScandFibre Logistics does

ScandFibre Logistics AB is a Swedish rail logistics company, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Örebro, that orchestrates the movement of paper and packaging materials from Swedish paper mills to approximately 50 destinations in Sweden and across 10 European countries. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Billerud Group and employs approximately 25 people, with disclosed annual turnover of approximately 1 billion SEK (roughly $100M). Its operations move approximately 2 million tons of paper products per year and monetize the return leg with import flows of consumer and industrial goods into Sweden, achieving >95% CO2 reduction relative to truck transport and displacing an estimated 50,000 truck trips annually.

The platform is built around four named product lines: Rail22, the legacy logistics system; Rail27, launched/strengthened in 2026 with new multi-year contracts anchoring domestic (Green Cargo) and European (Forwardis/SNCF) capacity; mySFL, a proprietary booking and tracking system with EDI and API integration that exposes real-time wagon status; and SFLmobile, a mobile application for bookings, unloading reports, and damage reporting. Rolling stock is individually equipped with GPS, RFID, and unique shock sensors that register and report transport disturbances to receiving terminals. The company runs a B2B enterprise field-sales motion targeting the Swedish forest industry, with anchor customers Billerud, Mondi, and Smurfit Westrock; its GTM is relationship-driven and contract-based rather than self-serve.

The revenue model is essentially a recurring contracted logistics services fee per ton/kilometer under multi-year agreements, with revenue concentration in the Swedish paper export vertical. Channel is direct enterprise sales supported by a proprietary digital platform (mySFL/SFLmobile) that provides shipment visibility to both customers and to the network of approximately 50 terminal operator partners (Aditro, Yilport, DFDS, Geodis, Sandahls, PostNord, Mertz, Vänerhamn, among others). Sustainability — codified in a >95% CO2 reduction vs. truck and 65% vs. boat — is a central pillar of the value proposition and increasingly aligns with EU Scope 3 reporting requirements for paper buyers.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• CFL multimodal: Luxembourg-based rail-road combined transport operator running trains across Western and Central Europe. Comparable because it provides intermodal rail services in adjacent geographies with similar end-customers (industrial shippers, forest/consumer goods).

Direct peers

• TX Logistik: Trenitalia-owned European rail freight operator focused on cross-border block trains. Comparable because it arranges and runs paper, steel, and consumer-goods trains on Germany/Italy/Northern Europe corridors that overlap with SFL's Milan, Modena, and Grignano terminals.
• Hupac: Swiss intermodal operator running trans-European shuttle trains on rail-truck combined corridors. Comparable because it competes with SFL for continental intermodal volumes and serves similar industrial shippers needing cross-border rail visibility and reliability.
• Kombiverkehr: German intermodal rail-road operator organizing unaccompanied combined transport across Europe. Direct peer because it bundles rail line-haul with truck first/last-mile (the exact rail-truck model SFL uses) for industrial shippers including forest-product customers.
• Forwardis (Rail Logistics Europe / SNCF): SNCF's rail freight forwarding arm and SFL's international partner. Direct peer because it arranges and coordinates cross-border European rail freight on behalf of shippers, including forest-industry clients, using an overlapping operator network.

Broad incumbents

• Green Cargo: Swedish state-owned rail freight operator and SFL's primary domestic transport partner. Comparable because it executes the same line-haul rail movements for Swedish forest industry customers and competes for paper/logistics contracts, though it owns the rail assets while SFL arranges them.
• DB Cargo: Deutsche Bahn's rail freight subsidiary, the largest European rail freight operator. Comparable because it provides line-haul and cross-border rail services SFL routes through, and competes for the same paper/forest and industrial freight moving between Sweden and continental Europe.
• Rail Cargo Group (RCG): Austrian rail freight operator owned by ÖBB, providing cross-border European block-train services. Comparable because it operates wagon-load and intermodal rail services on routes overlapping with SFL's network into Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, and Serbia.

Emerging players

• Samskip: Dutch multimodal logistics provider combining rail, sea, and road across Europe. Comparable as an emerging multimodal competitor that increasingly offers rail services on Sweden-Benelux routes, overlapping with SFL's Terneuzen/Vlissingen terminals.

Others

• Billerud (Parent / Anchor Customer): Swedish forest-industry group that owns ScandFibre and is its largest customer. Included as ecosystem participant because it both sets SFL's strategic agenda (parent) and consumes SFL's services (anchor shipper), shaping SFL's volumes and capital allocation.
