The solution, designed and implemented in close collaboration with Element Logic, will be the most advanced automated warehouse facility Element Logic has delivered in Norway.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dekode-post-date\"><span class=\"date-published\">Published <time datetime=\"2025-07-08T16:48:48+02:00\">July 8, 2025 16:48<\/time><\/span> <\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-strategic-leap-towards-the-future-of-warehousing\">A Strategic Leap Towards the Future of Warehousing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MEKO is one of the leading Nordic companies within car parts, workshop equipment, and vehicle accessories. Until now, its logistics flows in Norway have been scattered and largely manual &#8211; with heavy reliance on the central warehouse in Str\u00e4ngn\u00e4s, Sweden. The new warehouse in Vestby, south of Oslo, represents a strategic investment in local presence, a wider assortment, increased capacity, and a future-proof approach to warehousing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-We saw an opportunity to consolidate all our logistics flows in one location &#8211; while building efficiency and scalability into every aspect. From day one, we identified automation as a key component, says Tor Erik Myrvold, Logistics Manager for MEKO Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<blockquote class=\"wp-block-dekode-quote\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-dekode-quote__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2025\/07\/tor-225x300.jpg\" class=\"quote-image\" alt=\"Tor Erik Myrvold, Logistics Manager for MEKO Norway\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2025\/07\/tor-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2025\/07\/tor.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"96\" width=\"96\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-theme_quote\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7808 16.5288L8.49055 13.5673C8.43289 13.5993 8.36555 13.6217 8.28855 13.6345C8.21155 13.6473 8.13464 13.6538 8.0578 13.6538C7.04114 13.6538 6.17797 13.2958 5.4683 12.5798C4.7588 11.8638 4.40405 11.0038 4.40405 10C4.40405 8.98334 4.7588 8.12017 5.4683 7.4105C6.17797 6.701 7.04114 6.34625 8.0578 6.34625C9.06164 6.34625 9.92155 6.701 10.6376 7.4105C11.3536 8.12017 11.7116 8.98334 11.7116 10C11.7116 10.3513 11.669 10.6783 11.5838 10.9808C11.4985 11.2833 11.3737 11.5718 11.2096 11.8463L8.07305 17.2788C8.00905 17.3904 7.92122 17.4808 7.80955 17.55C7.69805 17.6192 7.57305 17.6538 7.43455 17.6538C7.14739 17.6538 6.93205 17.5288 6.78855 17.2788C6.64489 17.0288 6.6423 16.7788 6.7808 16.5288ZM15.6656 16.5288L17.3751 13.5673C17.3174 13.5993 17.2501 13.6217 17.1731 13.6345C17.0962 13.6473 17.0193 13.6538 16.9423 13.6538C15.9256 13.6538 15.0626 13.2958 14.3531 12.5798C13.6434 11.8638 13.2886 11.0038 13.2886 10C13.2886 8.977 13.6434 8.11225 14.3531 7.40575C15.0626 6.69942 15.9256 6.34625 16.9423 6.34625C17.9461 6.34625 18.8061 6.701 19.5221 7.4105C20.2381 8.12017 20.5961 8.98334 20.5961 10C20.5961 10.3513 20.5535 10.6783 20.4683 10.9808C20.383 11.2833 20.2583 11.5718 20.0943 11.8463L16.9578 17.2788C16.8936 17.3904 16.8058 17.4808 16.6943 17.55C16.5828 17.6192 16.4578 17.6538 16.3193 17.6538C16.0321 17.6538 15.8167 17.5288 15.6731 17.2788C15.5296 17.0288 15.5271 16.7788 15.6656 16.5288Z\" fill=\"var(--t2-icon-fill, #000)\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-dekode-quote__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>We saw an opportunity to consolidate all our logistics flows in one location &#8211; while building efficiency and scalability into every aspect.

Previously, we operated several smaller warehouses alongside the central warehouse in Str\u00e4ngn\u00e4s, which made it difficult to work as efficiently as we wanted. Now, we are consolidating everything under one roof and gaining full control of the entire supply chain &#8211; while also getting closer to our Norwegian customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why was automation the obvious choice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Our previous setup was entirely manual, which was both labor-intensive and inefficient long-term. Plus, our most frequently picked products are ideally suited for automated handling. It is about future-proofing the business &#8211; but also about creating a better working environment, higher quality, and improved profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why did you choose Element Logic as your partner?<\/strong><br>-When evaluating different suppliers, it became clear that Element Logic could deliver a complete solution. They have extensive expertise in AutoStore and, throughout this project, have also significantly developed their capabilities within conveyor systems and other automation technologies. Element Logic has been incredibly flexible &#8211; we even relocated the entire project site, and they adapted the design accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How will this impact your customers?<\/strong><br>-Customers will notice the difference. Faster deliveries, greater product availability, and a wider assortment thanks to improved space efficiency. We are also increasing delivery quality, which was already at a high level, by automating more parts of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Has the project led to any changes for employees?<\/strong><br>-Absolutely. Employees from both MEKO and our sister company S\u00f8rensen &amp; Balchen will work here, and they will be trained on the new system. Element Logic has developed a training program to ensure a smooth transition to the new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are there already plans for future expansion?<\/strong><br>-Yes, we have designed the warehouse to allow expansion in several directions. The AutoStore system is scalable, and we already have concrete plans to expand as demand grows. We see this as a long-term solution we can grow with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does this investment mean for MEKO in Norway long-term?<\/strong><br>-It is a key milestone. With greater efficiency, improved precision, and increased flexibility, we can strengthen our market position.
