“With SOL, Scanlog gets a strong majority shareholder who can help us continue our rapid growth,”said Mathias Wideroth, Chairman of the Board and founder of Scanlog. “SOL taking this step shows that they believe in us, and we see that as a mark of quality.”
Michael Kjellberg, Chairman of the SOL Board. “We are aware of the fact that a number of our customers want logistics suppliers who have the ability and the skills to deliver door-to-door logistics services. We have not been selling that service because we focus on quay to quay, but now we are looking forward to the opportunity of also assisting our customers with requests for multimodal transports via Scanlog.”
Scanlog’s business model is based on “Responsible Logistics” – increased cost efficiency, reduced environmental impact and responsibility for quality of delivery. Examples of this are Scanlog’s work to optimise transport routes, capacity utilisation and means of transport, and this has made Scanlog a rail freight operator of significance. Scanlog also carbon offsets all air freight free of charge for its customers.
SOL has also made major investments in sustainable transportation through its 50% stake in the start-up shipping company Wallenius SOL, which will start taking delivery of new ice-classed LNG-powered vessels in 2021.
