Rusta Expands Nordic Logistics with Lean Principles and Automation
Rusta's distribution center in Norrköping, covering 220,000 square meters, is pivotal for its logistics in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Germany. The company aims to enhance efficiency through lean methodologies while implementing an automated goods-to-person system from Vanderlande.

Rusta's 220,000 square meter distribution center in Norrköping serves as a central hub for logistics across several Nordic countries. The company, founded in 1986, focuses on selling home and leisure products at competitive prices by directly sourcing from manufacturers.
A key element in their expansion strategy involves adopting lean principles, which aim to minimize waste and enhance customer value. Rusta has collaborated with Toyota for 20 years, seeking to implement lean methodologies effectively.
Currently, an automated goods-to-person system is being installed to improve operational efficiency. Continuous improvement and staff training are critical to Rusta's strategy, especially during high demand periods. Lean efforts are essential to managing increasing order flows and ensuring operational stability.
