METSATEK concluded this year's exhibition season with participation in Finland's largest heavy equipment exhibition FinnMETKO on August 29 - 31.

During the exhibition, METSATEK introduced with the newest collaboration partner and dealer in Finland Naaran Kuljetushuoltu, presented the new product – 180mm aluminium subframe, and together with the new partner provided the opportunity to see in the FinnMETKO exhibition in person for the first time in its history ready-to-install timber truck body kit (KIT).

This year's participation in the Finnish exhibition turned out to be particularly successful. From a strategic point of view, it was important for us to personally introduce potential Finnish customers to our two dealers. Osamyynti Trucks, who offers full-cycle Metsatek timber truck solutions manufactured and installed in Latvia. However, the new partner Naaran Kuljetushuoltu will offer customers Metsatek's timber truck KIT solutions with installation in Finland. Cooperation with the new partner will not only ease project logistics costs, but also serve as a support point for service and after-sales solutions in Finland, “ explains Guntis Bukalders, METSATEK Managing Director

Since Naaran Kuljetushuoltu's main product of METSATEK is the KIT, the partner's team had brought an assembled sample of the body kit of the superstructure. Although KIT solutions are not new in Finland, such a solution of assembled KIT on a trailer and available for viewing in person was on display for the first time at the impressive FinnMETKO exhibition.

Another surprise was delivered by Osamynty Trucks. They treated the guests with a special moment of relaxation and drinks in a rebuilt historic Scania truck.

Together with our partners, we created an interesting environment in which to see both the various solutions of timber truck truck bodies and hold valuable discussions about future projects. We are glad that at this exhibition we met not only many Finnish customers, but also several large Latvian customers and representatives of forestry companies.
METSATEK's name and solutions were noticed. Now we continue to work on the best solutions for our customers!
