The merger of Nurminen Logistics and Essinge Rail was celebrated together with customers and partners in Stockholm

Nurminen Logistics acquired the Swedish logistics company Essinge Rail in December 2024.

We wanted to celebrate Essinge’s joining Nurminen Logistics together with our customers and partners by organising an invited guest event in Stockholm.

The event was opened by Olli Pohjanvirta, President and CEO of Nurminen Logistics. The opening address was followed by an interesting speech by Deputy Head of Mission Janne Jokinen (Embassy of Finland in Stockholm). He emphasised the close partnership between Finland and Sweden and the importance of smooth logistics for trade and security of supply. He also highlighted the Nurminen’s Haaparanta–Gothenburg train connection and its significance for both countries.

During the evening, there was a lively discussion about how security of supply and sustainable logistics are becoming increasingly important in companies. The merger of Nurminen Logistics and Essinge Rail brings together expertise that helps solve customer supply chain challenges and provides more flexible and efficient transport solutions.
