DB Schenker has acquired Finnish logistics group Vähälä Yhtiöt. Five terminals and more than 260 employees are now joining the network of the logistics provider in northern Europe, as DB Schenker in Finland has concluded an agreement to acquire the entire share capital of Vähälä Logistics Oy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, together known as Vähälä Yhtiöt.
The logistics group was founded in 1937 and offers domestic land transport services in central and northern Finland as a partner of the DB Schenker network.
With the takeover of Vähälä Yhtiöt, a company that already operates for DB Schenker in Finland, the company has the opportunity to expand the structure of DB Schenker's land transport network in central and northern Finland.
According to the agreement, VähäläYhtiöt’s entire operating business will be acquired by DB Schenker.
Following the conclusion of the agreement, Vähälä Yhtiöt will continue to operate over the medium-term as an independent affiliate in domestic land transport, alongside DB Schenker in Finland.
