Kesko Oyj continued to implement its growth strategy by investing over EUR 300 million in building an 82,000 square metre logistics centre for Onninen and K-Auto in Hyvinkää, Finland. The project will be completed in stages between 2025 and 2030. The new logistics centre will be located in Hyvinkää.

Kesko acquired a 42-hectare property in the area in July 2021. During the first phase, the new logistics centre will be over 80,000 square metres in size, most of it reserved for Onninen. It will replace Onninen's current logistics centre, also located in Hyvinkää, and be the workplace of some 400-500 logistics professionals.

The current centre houses some 400 employees. The new logistics centre is a shared investment between two Kesko divisions: in addition to Onninen, spare parts warehousing for K-Auto in Kesko's car trade division will move to the new centre. The logistics centre will help make K-Auto's spare part logistics more efficient and supply chains faster, and improve supply continuity.

Construction on the logistics centre will begin at the end of this year, and will be completed in stages.
