From 900 to 2,200 m²: Shipmondo celebrates a new milestone

We can now celebrate that the shell is up and that our headquarters is well on its way to becoming more than twice as big. It is our largest investment to date, and it comes after years of strong growth, though not without bumps in the road. That is why the topping-out celebration was a day we had been looking forward to even more.

See a bit of the construction process and hear a few of our colleagues talk about their expectations in the video here:

Room for the next chapter

When we moved into Hvilehøjvej in Odense SE in September 2021, we deliberately built on a plot with room to grow. The plan was to expand at some point, and that point came sooner than we had expected.

The extension adds 1,300 m² to the existing 900 m². That makes room for more workstations, a larger canteen, a fitness area, creative meeting zones and an auditorium for training and events.

Co-founder and Managing Partner Nicklas Nguyen sees the expansion as a natural step.

We are growing fast, in customers, employees and ambitions. The new building is a natural next step, so we can keep growing without compromising our work environment and company culture, says Nicklas Nguyen.

A bump in the road

Construction did not come entirely without bumps. We broke ground in October 2025, and in December our contractor went bankrupt. Overnight, the construction site was emptied, and for seven months it stood still.

That did not change our plans. Since the start in 2014, we have grown organically and profitably every year, without outside investors. That solid foundation meant we could move on, and neither day-to-day operations nor the development of Shipmondo were affected. On the contrary, we have just closed an accounting period that looks set to be our best yet.

It was an unexpected bump, but it showed us how solid a foundation we have built, both financially and in the team. Our customers did not notice anything, and I am proud of that, says Hung Ho, Co-founder and Managing Partner.

In the summer of 2026, Guldfeldt took over the construction, and the machinery returned to the site. The topping-out celebration is therefore also a sign that we have come through to the other side.

An investment in the people who build Shipmondo

The expansion is about more than square meters. We are more than 30 colleagues today, and the surroundings should give them, and the colleagues we have yet to meet, a place where going to work gives you energy.

That is why there will be a fitness area, green outdoor spaces and paths leading out into nature, as well as an auditorium where we can bring together colleagues, customers and partners. At the same time, we are holding on to what has worked so far: a flat structure and open offices.

We want to create a workplace where people are both inspired and energized. Where people and ideas can develop. We believe that helps create the best conditions for growing our business, says Hung Ho.

The growth behind the building

Demand is the real reason we are building now. More and larger companies across Denmark, Sweden and Norway are choosing Shipmondo, and they place higher demands on the platform, support and development.

Demand from large companies, across markets in particular, is growing faster than we had expected. To deliver on the requirements our customers set, we are now investing in physical facilities, technology and new employees, says Hung Ho.

Next stop: April 2027

With the topping-out celebration, the shell is in place, and now the work moves indoors. We expect to start using the whole building in April 2027.

After a year in which the construction site stood still for a long period, it was a special day to stand here with colleagues and craftsmen and see how far we have come. Now we can truly start looking forward to moving in, says Nicklas Nguyen.

Until then, we will keep working on what we have always done: making shipping and order management easier for businesses, whether they send one package or a million.

Thanks to Guldfeldt, the craftsmen, our client advisors and the architect, who celebrated the day with us.
