Arts Logistics (Sweden) is now Westbound Logistics Services (Sweden) AB
A new chapter for Swedish freight forwarding — the same trusted team, now backed by a global logistics group.
Same trusted service. New global strength.
If you have worked with Joakim Klingh and the team at Arts Logistics, you already know how we work. The relationships, the personal service and the hands-on approach you value are staying exactly as they are — now backed by the international reach, technology and buying power of the wider Westbound Logistics Services Group.
A new chapter begins
The 1st of September 2026 marks an exciting new chapter for freight forwarding in Sweden. Arts Logistics (Sweden) is now Westbound Logistics Services (Sweden) AB — a newly established Swedish company built on the strong foundations, trusted relationships and local expertise that Arts Logistics was known for.
Joakim Klingh, who led Arts Logistics, continues as Director and Co-Owner of Westbound Sweden, working alongside Danny Horne, Ryan Clark and Michael Lee — the co-owners of Westbound Logistics Services in the UK and China. Together, they have brought the Swedish operation into the Westbound family, combining local knowledge with the systems, infrastructure and international network already established across the wider group.
While Westbound Sweden is a new company, the commitment to delivering personal service, trusted relationships and practical logistics solutions remains exactly the same. The Stockholm office, the team and the people you deal with day to day stay the same — now with even greater capability behind them.
“For many years I’ve had the privilege of working with customers across Sweden and around the world, building relationships based on trust, reliability and personal service. I’d like to begin by thanking you for the trust you’ve placed in me over the years. Today, I’m proud to share the next chapter of that journey. By establishing Westbound Logistics Services (Sweden) AB, we’re creating a business that combines the personal service you’ve always known with the international strength of the wider Westbound Logistics Services Group. For you, that means the same familiar approach, backed by greater global reach, enhanced technology, expanded logistics capabilities and a wider international network. Most importantly, my commitment to supporting you and your business remains exactly the same.”
