For a while now our Norwegian friends have
been welcoming guests to their brand-new
headquarters. It is situated only 20 minutes south
of Oslo City. Customers, suppliers and business
associates are invited to visit the 14,000 square-
metre premises that is the new home to their
tailormade central warehouse and head office.
The planning started back in 2016. The process
involved not only management but also staff and
workers to specify future logistic demands and
office needs for further growth. The environment
and sustainability played important roles in
the construction. Photovoltaic, e-mobility and
intelligent building automation are the company’s
main business areas: “It was therefore a self-
evident choice to utilize the high expertisewe have
in this for our own building, “says CEO, Hege
Amundsen Elvestad, who is the third generation
to run the family business.
The new HQ is built as an A-type building that
is very energy efficient. Also, more than 2,000
square meters of their roof is covered by 1,050
solar modules. With a total installed capacity of
300kWp, they will achieve an annual production
of about 234,400 kWh. In addition, 18 modules
have been installed on the facade with a capacity
of 8.8kWp. “The facade panels are right next to
our guest parking lot with 5 e-vehicle chargers,
so all our visitors will be able to see the source
of the clean energy they charge their cars with,”
explains Ole Petter Fiære, Product Manager for
Solar Energy.
These solar installations will supply energy for
the general consumption of the building, as well
as the 40 e-vehicle chargers for staff. In this way
the HQ should be self-sufficient with solar energy
from spring till autumn. This outstanding building
will be a showcase for the energy efficiency
solutions FEGIMENorge provide in collaboration
with installer clients throughout the country. The
easy access to these solar installations and their
features is ideal for courses, training sessions and
education for clients and staff alike.
The new central warehouse is responsible for
distribution to the whole of Norway - for the
South even overnight. The planning placed great
emphasis on customized logistics. Developed
in Norway, the AutoStore system of bins in a
compact cubical form (see Voice 2/2012), was
transferred from the previous warehouse and
enlarged from 10.000 to 20.000 bins. The
picking efficiency of this system is much higher
than traditional semi-automatic systems. In the
new warehouse the percentage of picks by
Autostore will be increased from 50 to 70%.
The system also simplifies the storage areas and
reduces the number of picking zones.
“To achieve the final layout, the process required
an exceptionally high degree of involvement from
management, workers and experts,” says Project
LogisticManager, Bethina Samnøy Siristuen. “It is
incredibly good to come home,” says Hege. “Both
construction and relocation were demanding
and – inevitably - took some focus away from
what we really want to do: help our customers
succeed and develop!”
