Coop Sweden has appointed Klas Pettersson as the new CEO of Coop Logistik. The manager will take up his new position on 4 January 2027 and will also join the executive board of Coop Sweden.<\/p>

Coop Sweden\u2019s logistics unit manages the supply chain to the retail company\u2019s approximately 800 stores. The logistics network includes the frozen goods distribution centre in Enk\u00f6ping and the 77,000-square-metre, highly automated DC in Eskilstuna, whose intralogistics system was implemented by SSI Sch\u00e4fer as the main contractor. There, 95 per cent of the order-picking processes are automated, as The Retail Optimiser<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>

In his new role, Klas Pettersson will be responsible for further developing supply chain management. \u201cOur logistics operations are entering an exciting phase in which we will continue to develop cost-efficient, robust and sustainable supply chains,\u201d explains Anders Torell, CEO of Coop Sweden. \u201cKlas Pettersson brings exactly the strategic vision and strong leadership skills required to lead Coop Logistics into the future and strengthen our competitiveness in the market.\u201d<\/p>

Industry experience<\/strong><\/h3>

Klas Pettersson joins from Apotek Hj\u00e4rtat, a company belonging to the Swedish ICA Group with around 400 pharmacies and a growing online business. He has been in charge of logistics there since 2015. Prior to this, the experienced retail manager held various management positions in logistics at ICA Sweden and worked as a management consultant specialising in supply chain management.<\/p>

\u201cI am very much looking forward to working with the Coop Logistics team, our suppliers and our regional Coop cooperatives to continue developing efficient, sustainable and modern supply chains that create the greatest possible added value for our stores and members,\u201d said Klas Pettersson.<\/p>

Kristoffer Wid\u00e9n to lead the transition<\/strong><\/h3>

Until Klas Pettersson takes up his new role, Kristoffer Wid\u00e9n will temporarily lead Coop Logistics. He will step into the interim role on 1 September this year and has more than 20 years\u2019 management experience in retail and logistics.<\/p>

The current CEO, \u00d6rjan Grandin, will be leaving Coop Logistics in the course of this year after almost nine years at the forefront. During this time, \u00d6rjan Grandin has, amongst other things, overseen the construction of the highly automated logistics centre in Eskilstuna.<\/p>
