WITRON is building Coop Norge grocery logistics around OPM scale

Coop Norge From 2014 To CLog 3.0

WITRON announced on December 9, 2025 that Coop Norge had launched the third building stage of its CLog program near Gardermoen Airport in Oslo. The partnership has been productive since 2014, when building stage one went live. That decade-long timeline gives the 2025 CLog 3.0 contract a different meaning from a new-site win: Coop is expanding an operating WITRON platform. The site currently supplies 1,200 stores across dry, fresh, and frozen categories.

The expansion adds 12 COM machines and raises the total to 54 machines inside the logistics center. WITRON says the project will add 120,000 store-friendly cases per day and lift total throughput to 690,000 picks daily. The existing 84,000-square-meter facility handles more than 13,000 different items and already uses OPM, DPS, CPS, and a fully automated shipping buffer. The business driver is growth pressure inside an already automated grocery network: Coop is buying more case-picking capacity inside a proven operating model, not a greenfield experiment.

Grocery Scale Across WITRON

WITRON reported on February 3, 2026 that 2025 order intake exceeded 2 billion euros, the highest in company history. Revenue rose to 1.5 billion euros and the company employed 7,500 people worldwide, including 2,500 at its Parkstein headquarters. The same record points to food-retail contracts across Europe and North America, including Rewe, Coop Norge, Tesco, Axfood, and Walmart. That company pattern explains why Coop can treat WITRON as a long-term grocery automation operator across building stages.

WITRON's 2025 Coles record in Australia adds another operating comparison: two automated distribution centers pick 1.6 billion sales units annually and removed nearly 18 million kilograms of manual lifting and carrying each week. The AWG Hernando case adds a U.S. grocery surface with more than 460,000 daily case-picking capacity across dry, fresh, and frozen items. Public material does not publish Coop site uptime, COM machine intervention frequency, pallet quality error rates, employee count after CLog 3.0, or energy use by temperature zone. The clearest public metric would be store-friendly cases picked per COM machine per day at Coop Norge under WITRON.
