Working in Sigtuna: the employers at Arlanda, in Rosersberg, Märsta and the town

Arlanda is the municipality's largest workplace, with around 15,000 employees at 600 companies fifteen minutes from town. The rest is logistics, hospitality, the municipality itself, and whatever fits in a small town.

Arlanda

Sweden's largest airport lies inside the municipality, fifteen minutes from Sigtuna town. Around 15,000 people work on the airport site for some 600 companies. The big names: Swedavia, which runs the airport, SAS and the other airlines, ground handlers such as Menzies and Aviator, Securitas and other security firms, customs, police and border control, Arlanda Express, the hotels (Clarion, Radisson Blu, Scandic), the restaurants and shops in the terminals, the cargo companies and the maintenance hangars. The jobs range from pilot and air traffic controller to loader, cook and shift-working security screener.

Shift work is the rule. Many who work at Arlanda live in Sigtuna town, Märsta or Steningehöjden precisely because the car takes fifteen minutes and bus 579 half an hour, which is priceless at five in the morning.

Rosersberg and Arlandastad: logistics

South of Märsta lies Logistikcenter Stockholm Nord in Rosersberg, with a container terminal, rail connection and PostNord's large terminal, surrounded by transport, warehousing and e-commerce companies that have set up as online shopping has grown. The national rescue services college (MSB) and Rosersberg prison are here too. By the E4 between Märsta and Arlanda, Arlandastad is growing with Scandinavian XPO, a fair, hotel and conference venue with an office hotel. The municipality, Swedavia and Arlandastad Group develop the area together under the name Airport City Stockholm.

The municipality and the public sector

Sigtuna Municipality employs people in preschools, schools, elderly care, social services, technical services and administration, with the town hall in Märsta. The region runs the health centres and the public dental service.
