Catena’s CEO Jörgen Eriksson comments on the interim report:

“The share issue we held in March gave us opportunities to be proactive in the current market, and in the first half of 2024 we have made acquisitions worth SEK 3.7 billion. The most recent addition of two newly built logistics facilities in Landskrona, adding a total of 180,000 m² to our property portfolio, clearly demonstrates Catena’s intended direction: we want to continue to grow with modern facilities in attractive logistics locations.”
