Stronger collaboration between Sweden and Finland was the main focus when Finland's Ministry for Foreign Affairs visited Wibax' headquarters.
"A rewarding meeting for us, who are operating in both countries", says Jonas Wiklund, CEO, Wibax Group.
On Thursday, 16 January, Finland’s Minister for Foreign Trade Ville Tavio and Finland’s Ambassador to Sweden Maimo Henriksson, along with numerous company representatives, visited Wibax headquarters in Piteå. The trip was organised in collaboration with Team Finland, Business Finland, and the Norrbotten Chamber of Commerce. The business delegation, comprising a total of 66 individuals and nearly 40 companies, gained deeper insight into Wibax’ operations and its electrification journey during the visit.
The purpose of the visit was to highlight Finnish expertise and strengthen collaboration between Finland and Sweden.
During the visit, Wibax Group CEO Jonas Wiklund presented the company, its unique business model, and its future plans. These include the latest updates on “Wibax goes electric,” which aims to achieve a 100% fossil-free, electric vehicle fleet powered entirely by self-produced electricity. The visitors were particularly interested in Wibax’ ongoing electrification efforts and how these enhance the logistics chain while reducing environmental impact. The participants also had the opportunity to try Wibax’ electric ADR-approved truck during the visit.
“For us at Wibax, this was a very rewarding and interesting visit, not least because we operate in both Finland and Sweden”, said Jonas Wiklund, CEO of Wibax Group.
“Wibax’ ambitious electrification journey is at the forefront in both Sweden and Finland. The visit was fruitful for us and provided a valuable opportunity to showcase our operations and demonstrate how we, as a company, are helping to drive progress across the entire industry. I hope that, through the visit, more people in Finland have become aware of our company, as well as the ambitious goals and investments we are making for sustainable development and electrification”, commented Tero Väyrynen, CEO of Wibax Finland.
