What Nowaste Logistics does

Nowaste Logistics AB is a Sweden-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider founded in 2008 as a spin-off from the logistics department of fruit and vegetable company Everfresh, which is part of the Dole Nordic group. The company operates approximately 10 or more terminals in Helsingborg covering around 300,000 square meters of warehouse space, with regional expansions into Jönköping (established 2025) and Stockholm (two new terminals in 2026). It serves enterprise customers across multiple industries including food and beverage, home interiors, building materials, and fashion, and is positioned as a Scandinavian hub for Danish and Norwegian partners seeking Swedish storage capacity.

The company's core offering is a customized 3PL bundle built around a proprietary Warehouse Management System (ASK) with a modular architecture that adapts to each customer's workflow. ASK integrates with customer business systems and provides full traceability and real-time data. This software backbone is paired with in-house automation (robot picking and sorting, intelligent conveyor systems) and AI-driven insights for inventory optimization and demand forecasting (structured data / predictive analytics). Additional service lines include customs and bonded warehousing services for international trade, and national and international transport and distribution via an established carrier network covering road, rail, shipping, and intermodal modes.

Nowaste operates a sales-led, enterprise field sales GTM model with quote-based, multi-year contracts priced per customer requirements. Revenue is generated primarily through managed services (3PL storage and operations, customs warehousing, transport) with professional services layered on for customs declaration work. The company emphasizes differentiated talent practices — hiring only permanent staff rather than temporary labor, supported by an in-house health coach, therapist, and gym — and has received multiple workplace and industry awards (Competensumpriset, Grundplåten, Årets logistiketablering).
