Norwegian grocery retailer expands warehouse ops
COOP NORGE SA and Witron are working on the 84,000 sq m logistics centre near Gardermoen Airport in Oslo.
The two companies have been in partnership for more than a decade. The facility supplies 1,200 stores with more than 13,000 different dry, fresh, and frozen items. At its core is Witron’s OPM system, featuring 42 COM machines operating across all temperature zones. In early November 2025, COOP signed a contract for the project CLog 3.0 to expand its highly automated facility by adding 12 additional COM machines along with all upstream and downstream logistics technology. This third building stage will increase the total COM machine count in the logistics centre to 54 and boost throughput to 690,000 picks per day.
The distribution centre, equipped with Witron solutions OPM, DPS, and CPS, and a fully automated shipping buffer, has been productive since 2014 (building stage 1). The second building stage, completed in 2022, added 11 COM machines.
COOP project manager Ståle Nersund, says: “Witron systems have helped us save millions of euros annually.”
