The FinnMETKO 2026 trade fair took place in Jämsä from 3 to 5 September. An impressive 34,786 visitors attended the fair over the three days! Ponsse’s stand welcomed visitors from 31 different countries, and over 13,000 cups of coffee were served.
Ponsse expands its product range by introducing the PONSSE Wisent Thin Line and PONSSE Scorpion Thin Line forest machine models, specifically optimised for thinning operations. Sales of the Thin Line machines begin immediately, with production starting at the Vieremä factory later this year.
Ponsse took part in the Démo Forest trade fair held in Bertrix, Belgium, on 28–29 July. On display at the fair were Ponsse’s firefighting equipment and the HH360 harvester head rotator, both of which won the main Innovation Award.
Ponsse continues to strengthen its sales and customer service in Belgium and Luxembourg through a partnership with Machines Forestières Skyjack Srl. After several years of successful cooperation, Machines Forestières Skyjack has been officially appointed as a Ponsse sales and service partner in the two countries.
Ponsse has invested in the development of its service centre in Surahammar, Sweden, and has built a new training centre intended for global use. The centre is equipped with Ponsse simulators as well as modern, versatile training facilities suitable also for larger groups.
This year marked a major milestone: 55 years since forest machine pioneer Einari Vidgrén founded the Ponsse factory in his hometown of Vieremä, Finland—and 30 years since we planted roots in the USA. To honor this remarkable dual anniversary, we hosted a dynamic blend of history, innovation, and celebration. And for some of us, it was truly unforgettable — especially those who left with a little less hair!
Ponsse celebrates a significant milestone today as the 22,000th forest machine manufactured at the company’s Vieremä factory is delivered to Irish customer G&G Timber Harvesting.
Ivan Salvo from Ponsse Chile is following the Ponsse International Mechanic Competition with a great interest. He knows the excitement of competing and how life and career changing this experience can be.
