Weather…

The Kirkkonummi Logistics Center, strategically located in the Uusimaa region west of Helsinki, is a pivotal hub for goods distribution across Southern Finland. The facility houses one of the country's largest and most technologically advanced distribution centers, opened by the retail giant Lidl in Jänisniemi in 2018. Covering an area of approximately 60,000 square meters, this site serves over 100 stores with high operational efficiency. A key feature of the center is its commitment to ecological sustainability, being the first in Finland to employ a CO2-based cooling system and an extensive array of solar panels. Its geographical location along Highway 51 provides swift access to Helsinki's ports and the national road network. More than 300 employees work within this highly automated complex, utilizing state-of-the-art picking technologies. The establishment of this logistics hub has solidified Kirkkonummi's position as a major economic player in the capital region. By minimizing transport distances, the center actively helps in lowering the carbon footprint of the Finnish retail industry.
