Scandinavian Cosmetics, the leading distributor of beauty products in Scandinavia, is automating and consolidating its operations into a new warehouse in Malmö, Sweden, where Element Logic will install an AutoStore solution.

As a leading distributor of make-up, fragrance, skin and hair care, Scandinavian Cosmetics AB represents more than 60 leading international brands. The company operates as an agency, selling to both retail and, increasingly in recent years, e-commerce. Today, its operations are spread across several manual warehouses in Norway and Sweden, but it has now chosen to bring everything together in a new AutoStore-powered warehouse in Malmö.

Built to scale

The decision to consolidate warehouses comes down to modernising and automating logistics processes, helping Scandinavian Cosmetics meet customer needs more effectively and efficiently.

We have clear growth ambitions where, through the investment in AutoStore, we create optimal conditions for quickly and easily being able to scale up our storage capacity. At the same time, we are proud to be able to offer our employees a new, modern, and attractive workplace.

Joakim Johnsson, CEO of Scandinavian Cosmetics

Built for dynamic performance

The new 6,000 m² warehouse houses an AutoStore solution with capacity for 30,000 bins. To meet Scandinavian Cosmetics’ requirement of around 900 order lines per hour, 35 robots will feed bins to the AutoStore workstations for picking and packing. The solution is set to go live in spring 2021.

The project together with Scandinavian Cosmetics has been very exciting with a strong focus on efficiency and scalability. We are happy, proud, and we look forward to a successful cooperation with Scandinavian Cosmetics
