Meet Nils Axelsson – Warehouse & Logistics Manager at Emballator in Växjö
Posted 2025-05-23
At Emballator, we are proud of our employees and their dedication. Today, we want to highlight Nils Axelsson, our Warehouse & Logistics Manager in Växjö, who plays a crucial role in ensuring our logistics flows run smoothly and efficiently.
“I work as the Warehouse & Logistics Manager and am responsible for our entire logistics flow. The work is very broad, and I am involved in several departmental issues. I mainly work with daily operations but also with improvement projects. My work also includes responsibility for system development, training in warehouse & logistics, and optimizing our physical warehouse here in Växjö,” Nils explains.
Nils’ day starts with ensuring the next day’s deliveries and bookings based on the status in the business system. This is followed by several morning meetings, and during the day, he handles many emails and phone calls. His role is crucial for Emballator’s customers to receive their deliveries on time and with high quality.
Nils started as a temporary worker in production at the beginning of 2019 and moved to warehouse & logistics after a few months. During the summer of 2019, he started working full-time at Emballator, and when the previous Warehouse & Logistics Manager left at the turn of the year 2019/2020, Nils was asked to take over the department.
“I love it when things are hectic and enjoy a fast pace. Every day is different, it’s hard to plan, which I partly like. I also enjoy working on improvement projects and being able to make a significant impact,” says Nils.
Nils has been part of the project group for EWOS, the business system change, and is pleased with the result. He has also been involved in a scanning project that resulted in a more digitized and reliable process. Currently, he leads the automation group, which works on continuous improvements.
For Nils, it is important to stay calm in stressful situations and to be able to keep many things going simultaneously. He wants to develop his leadership skills and dreams of being part of building a completely new operation within warehouse & logistics.
Privately, Nils lives in Växjö with his partner Emma and their golden retriever Love. He has a great interest in languages, especially French, and has lived and traveled extensively in Europe. In his free time, he enjoys miniature, and board games and spends a lot of time with his dog and family.
