First, the e-commerce company Boozt installed warehouse automation through the AutoStore system from Element Logic. Then they expanded last year, and are now making another big expansion to meet the increased demand, and to be able to broaden the range for their customers.
People’s work schedules have undoubtedly changed since the pandemic, which also resulted in an e-commerce boom. During this time period, Boozt saw a rather large increase in their traffic. The e-commerce company with its headquarters in Malmö, Sweden, has had an incredible growth journey over the past few years. It is common for companies to continue to expand their AutoStore solution because the system comes with a high scalability factor. Change in customers’ buying patterns meant that Boozt now needed to prepare for upcoming peaks – especially before Black Friday and Christmas.
Boozt, once again, among the world’s largest AutoStore warehouses
The newest expansion of the system includes as many as 180 robots, 210,000 bins, and 43 ports for picking and delivery flow. With this installation, Boozt once again becomes the world’s largest AutoStore installation.

The total solution includes an impressive 1,243 robots, 1,245,000 bins, and 301 ports.
The installation will not interrupt the daily operations, and Boozt can have full operation throughout the expansion process – and thus keep its customer promises.
– To always be one step ahead and be able to ensure continued strong growth and a continued good customer experience, even during growth peaks, Boozt and Element Logic are constantly discussing expansions of their AutoStore solutions.
With our growth and our customer promise of delivery within 1-2 days, it is extremely beneficial for us that the process is both fast, and can be scaled up during ongoing operations,” said Jimmy Duholm, the Warehouse Director at Boozt.
Boozt is doing great, and it is exciting and gratifying to see how they grow and adapt. Together, we work closely with an open dialogue, where we plan long-term to be able to make the right extensions at the right time,” said Marcus Rasmusson Aftermarket Director at Element Logic Sweden.
