subject: Everything Fits Together When You Choose The Best Way Of Sending A Parcel To Sweden [print this page] Businesses can enjoy Swede success when they send a parcel to Sweden, thanks to the massive resources of the worlds leading courier companies. With a thriving economy and a standard of living which is envied by many across the world, Sweden offers tremendous potential for doing business. And when a company can offer the combination of desirable products and reliable, efficient delivery, it is well on the way to making a name for itself.
Sweden earns a massive amount of its income from foreign trade, and is particularly strong in the timber, iron ore and hydropower sectors. There is a particularly strong bias towards engineering, which is responsible for more than half of the countrys total exports and income. As a result, skilled engineers are often attracted to Sweden from other countries, as they can enjoy a particularly good lifestyle. Nevertheless it is still important for many of these people and their families that they can still stay in touch with close ones, and this is where an efficient international parcel delivery service can particularly help them.
The UK provides more than five per cent of Swedens imports, and the country has especially high demand for petrochemicals, machinery, iron and steel, food and clothing. The country has excellent transport links, with Arlanda airport just outside the capital Stockholm being its largest, handling 17.9million passengers and more than 150,000 tons of cargo in 2007.
The countrys already excellent communications were improved greatly in 2000 by the opening of the Oresund bridge, which crosses the strait of the same name and links Sweden with Denmark. The 7.8km (almost five miles) long bridge carries both a major road and a railway line, and its central span is the longest of its type in the world. It has opened up many travel opportunities between Denmark and Sweden, and led to the Copenhagen and Malmo metropolitan areas, on either side of the bridge, becoming much more closely linked.
It has also opened up many more possibilities for international delivery companies which operate between Denmark and Sweden, and greatly improved access to large parts of Sweden from the UK and the rest of northern Europe. So any businesses needing to send freight to Sweden now find it far easier and quicker, and enterprising companies can get their products into the country far more efficiently good news for any which want to exploit demand in this prosperous nation.
