Securum Self Storage is an Algarve self-storage operator owned by Swedish entrepreneurs Maria and Ulf Christiansson, who came to the region from careers in commercial property rental and industrial logistics. It opened its first facility in Loulé’s industrial park in July 2021 and a second, larger site near Faro four years later, trading through Securum Self Storage, Lda (NIF 515469670).
Securum Self Storage was set up by Maria and Ulf Christiansson, whom the company describes as Swedish entrepreneurs and experienced professionals in commercial property rental and industrial logistics. They saw a gap for modern self storage in the Algarve, where demand comes from international residents, second-home owners and local businesses. The first facility opened in July 2021 in Loulé’s industrial park, at Parque Infante in the Franqueada industrial zone, with more than 1,200 sqm of climate-controlled space close to Vilamoura, Almancil and Quinta do Lago. Four years later the company opened a second facility in the Faro area, at the MARF regional market complex just off the A22 near IKEA and MAR Shopping, with more than 2,000 sqm.
The operating company is Securum Self Storage, Lda (NIF 515469670), a private limited company incorporated on 22 May 2019 under the name Astutesymbol Investimento Imobiliário Lda, with share capital of €792,683 and its registered office at the Faro facility. Both sites rent units in sizes from extra small to extra large to private and business customers, with keyless digital access, CCTV, individual unit alarms and access from 6am to 10pm every day. Securum also sells packaging materials and is a member of FEDESSA, the Federation of European Self Storage Associations.
Securum is a small, owner-run business rather than the subsidiary of a Nordic group, but it shows Swedish property and logistics know-how being applied directly in Portugal’s resident and tourism economy. Its capital base and the step from one site to two within four years show a service format that is mature in the Nordics being built up in the Algarve.
