Availability, simplicity, rapidity. FREJA has something unique to offer and we want to show it to the world. Come, see and hear more in Antwerp in April!

Breakbulk Europe provides excellent business and networking opportunities with more than 400 exhibitors and sponsors and approx. 8000 visitors. Exhibitors and sponsors include cargo owners, ocean carriers, freight forwarders, ports & terminals, heavy haulers, equipment companies and more that are involved in this specialized industry.

The FREJA difference

It can be an advantage to be a smaller player to count among the best within project forwarding. As a smaller or middle sized collaborator, it is easier to be flexible and create customized solutions. We can gather our network fast and focus on each individual project and the needs of the customer.

You are welcome to visit us at the exhibition in Antwerp on 25 - 26 April on stand 420H3, where you can meet our professional international team with plenty of experience and expertise within project forwarding.

A fantastic journey and a tremendous development - but also quite a lot of challenges - has resulted in an enterprise with huge commitment and a desire to create value for as well FREJA as customers and partners.

The journey in Sweden started with the establishment in Helsingborg and a staff of 10 people. Shortly after, FREJA purchased Euro Traffic Helsingborg and TKS in Tumba. During 2008 FREJA purchased Åkeribolaget in Helsingborg together with TKS in Tumba and both companies were merged into FREJA in 2009.

In the spring of 2009 FREJA established office and terminal in Jönköping, which was an important step towards the further development in the North and for domestic activities. FREJA took over ATS in Växjö during the summer of 2010. The company in Växjö was moved to Jönköping and Helsingborg during spring 2012.

In May 2013 FREJA opened an office in Göteborg and is now present on four strategic addresses in Sweden with a total of approx. 100 employees.

In 2017 FREJA in Helsingborg will move all activities to new premises on a new location close to E6. From there, FREJA will be able to handle transport to and from the Continent, the North and domestic in Sweden.

FREJA Sweden services the market with 320 trailers and has a full covering domestic system with local sub suppliers. The ongoing development of IT solutions and products enables us to meet the market's demand for track & trace, speed and precision.

With FREJAs local presence and focus on finding solutions to all kinds of transport assignments, we look forward to serving the market with transport- and logistics solutions for many more years.

Our Global Project Forwarding team wants to thank you for taking the time to visit us at our stand at Breakbulk in Antwerp last week - it was exiting to meet you all.

We are happy to say that the exhibition was a great success for FREJA and we are already looking forward to next year in Bremen.

See you there!

Knowledge and Full Service Provider status create strong customer relations for FREJA Group

The transport and logistics provider FREJA Transport & Logistics Holding A/S presents a satisfying result in 2016 with continuous progress in all key figures. The subsidiaries in Norway and Finland deliver results significantly above marked level. During the year, FREJA has invested massively to reach the status as Full Service Provider. The investment ensures a strong basis for creating long-term partnerships with the customers. The Danish owner foresees significant opportunities to improve the result in the years to come.

A continues positive development in earnings in 2016
FREJA Transport & Logistics Holding A/S reports an increase in earnings from 2015 to 2016 of 1 percent. The total turnover in 2016 amounts to EUR 327 mill. EBIT amounts to EUR 6.3 mill. in 2016 compared to EUR 5.9 mill. in 2015. The result of the year before taxes amounts to EUR 6.2 mill. in 2016 compared to EUR 6.0 mill. in 2015.

The equity of the Group has increased from EUR 24.7 mill. in 2015 to EUR 28.4 mill. in 2016. The solvency ratio has increased from 29.8 % to 33.9 % at the end of 2016 - a positive development in all financial key figures. The development in the Norwegian and Finnish subsidiaries is very positive whereas the Swedish subsidiary has not met the expectations of the year. The Danish company has invested in new business areas by adding competent knowledge resources. Since March 2016, a new subsidiary in China has been running and contributes better than expected in the first year.

FREJA is ready to meet all customer needs as Full Service Provider
FREJA is renowned for the company's massive IT investments to optimize its own business and to offer the customers the opportunity to attain better insight and more safety as regards the transport solution. In 2016, the overall business is strengthened further through investments in new business areas. FREJA has invested to solve complicated project assignments just as a unique Pharma division and a standard Air & Sea division have been established. Furthermore, FREJA offers the customers to utilize the knowledge resources from FREJA to optimize the internal logistics from A to Z.

"We are convinced that building partnerships with our customers will create a win-win situation for all parties involved. If we get a deeper insight in the customer's value chain, we are able to offer a customised solution, which meets and optimizes the customer's logistics demands. Trust and credibility are keywords in the cooperation. To take responsibility is a natural part of our way of working in FREJA. We have always run the company FREJA based on strong values. We work daily to make a difference to our customers and to ensure that we improve together day by day," says Jørgen Hansen, owner and CEO in FREJA Group.

It takes more than a reasonable result to impress a modest temper
"We reached an acceptable result in 2016 but we also think there is room for improvements. We need to challenge ourselves continuously as regards the investment income. Our aim is to improve the result significantly in 2017 and a property sale in Sweden will contribute positively to a result that we can take pride in", Jørgen Hansen concludes.

FREJA Transport & Logistics A/S and PNO Danmark A/S have signed an agreement regarding delivery of 300 brand new trailers to be delivered to the Scandinavian market during 2017.

"For many years FREJA and PNO have had a strong and professional cooperation and we are therefore very happy that we have signed this new agreement regarding the delivery of trailers to FREJA Transport & Logistics' divisions in Sweden and Denmark," says Jacob Ørnstrand, Group CEO in PNO.

"It is FREJA's desire to operate new and modern equipment. Therefore, we replace about 20 % of the total fleet per year," says Jørgen Hansen, Group CEO and founder of FREJA.

"PNO has the largest selection of quality trailers at the market in combination with the most flexible customer adjusted rental solutions. For PNO the relations to our customers are crucial, because this gives us a knowledge of which features will create the most optimal flow and value for our customers," Jacob Ørnstrand concludes.

At the moment there is a great pressure on the European transport business because of new legislation which forbids drivers and hauliers to take their mandatory weekly 45 hours' rest in their trucks, which has always been standard practice.

Lately, Germany has forbidden drivers to take their weekly rest of 45 hours in the truck. The ban was introduced without warning effective of May 24th 2017.

In this connection, the German authorities have notified to carry out inspections/issue penalties, well knowingly that there are no alternatives of accommodation for several hundred thousand drivers in Germany nor in the rest of Europe.

It seems very difficult to observe these new regulations and if they will be enforced, the business will suffer severe financial challenges, which may cause serious consequences for the transport of cargo generally in Europa with Germany being the largest and most used country of transit.

As we have not yet seen political suggestions to carry out the new legislation, nor do we know the content of the controls, we have decided to await the situation. Therefore, we do not have further information about the consequences of the legislation. You can now turn any wifi tablet into a killer gps. Whether you have a gps enabled tablet or not.

We will keep you updated on all relevant news.
