Innofreight Expands Swedish Forestry Transport with New Partnerships and Wagon Production

Innofreight Scandinavia, the Swedish branch of the Austrian family-owned company, continues to strengthen its presence in the Swedish forestry transport sector by enhancing its intermodal rail solutions across Europe. They provide four wagon types adaptable to around thirty load carriers, supporting transport needs ranging from light dry wood chips to heavy iron ore. Their updated wagons incorporate improvements drawn from eight years of experience in Swedish forestry logistics.

The company’s flagship InnoWaggon is integral to SCA’s timber transport system—the largest in Europe—moving over 3 million cubic meters of wood annually. Recently, Innofreight partnered with Protrain to manage Holmen’s train transports with InnoWaggons, aiming to optimize wood transport logistics to paper mills and sawmills.

Innofreight has also launched wagon manufacturing at a new facility in Trieste, Italy, through collaboration with Medlog, MSC’s logistics arm. This initiative supports daily container transport between Gothenburg Port and Båramo, beginning next summer. Incoming Vice President Oskar Olofsson emphasized the company’s commitment to modernizing freight systems and rejuvenating aging rolling stock across Europe, addressing future challenges in the Swedish forestry industry.
