Kalmar and Holmen continue successful partnership with the extension of a Kalmar Complete Care service agreement
Kalmar has signed an extension to its Kalmar Care service and maintenance agreement with Holmen's production site in Iggesund, encompassing Holmen Board and Paper and Holmen Wood Products. The agreement was booked in Kalmar's Q2 2026 order intake.
Under the extended agreement, Kalmar will continue to provide comprehensive service and maintenance for the entire site, taking responsibility for a mixed-brand fleet of approximately 130 units, including forklifts, terminal tractors, cranes, and wheel loaders.
To address the site's critical need for high equipment availability, Kalmar is implementing a highly structured, full preventive maintenance regime to guarantee operational readiness 365 days a year. The renewed partnership will feature continuous operational improvements using LEAN principles in the workshop, while maintaining a strict focus on ensuring a safe working environment. Additionally, Kalmar will utilise advanced digital tools to proactively secure and optimise uptime across the fleet, while actively supporting Holmen in its transition toward sustainable cargo flows.
Anna Jern-Houttu, VP Service Solutions, Kalmar: "We are very proud to continue building on our well-established and successful collaboration with Holmen. Kalmar has extensive experience operating large and complex maintenance agreements in Sweden, and our local team has established a tremendous reputation for delivering high value. Moving forward, we are excited to combine our local team's great work with Kalmar's industry-leading offerings in digitalisation and sustainability to remain a highly proactive partner for Holmen."
