Metsä-Multia, which operates in Multia, Central Finland, reached a significant milestone on Friday, 24th October, when the company’s owners, brothers Aki and Kai Laaja, received their 200th Ponsse forest machine.
On October 3rd, Wahlers Forsttechnik marks a significant milestone with the grand opening of its new branch in the Temnitzpark industrial estate near Neuruppin. Located in a rapidly developing area, the new site was secured two years ago to establish a modern service center tailored to the needs of forest machine service.
According to the Trust & Reputation 2025 survey conducted by Reputation and Trust Analytics, Ponsse has been ranked the second most reputable company in Finland. Supercell claimed the top spot, while Fazer placed third.
Ponsse is overhauling its service network in Finland, and the Hyvinkää Service Centre is moving to new premises in Loppi, about 20 kilometres from the current premises. The desire to serve customers even better is the motivation for the construction of the service centre, which will be completed in February 2026.
On 19 September, Ponsse celebrates three decades in France by opening its largest service centre in the country – bringing modern services, a larger spare parts inventory, and simulator-based operator training closer to customers in central France.
Scheff Logging & Trucking Inc. received an invitation to come and receive the 21,000th Ponsse forest machine manufactured in Vieremä, Finland. The machine to be handed over is the PONSSE Buffalo 8W. Paul Estabrooks and his team from Ponsse North America are also celebrating the hand over in Vieremä.
In 2025, it will be 55 years since forest machine entrepreneur Einari Vidgren founded a forest machine factory in Vieremä, Finland. The anniversary year will start on a high note as the 21,000th PONSSE forest machine has been manufactured and will be delivered on February 6th, 2025, to Scheff Logging & Trucking Inc. from Minnesota, USA.
This year, Ponsse celebrates its 55th year of operation with the theme of Working together at logging sites across the World. While the load-carrying forest tractor has changed its shape over the years and development has continued, the story of the company’s name and Ponsse the Dog that wandered around the village of Vieremä still lives on.
To celebrate the anniversary, we are now publishing a photo of Ponsse the Dog for the first time.
Ponsse will demonstrate new solutions at the FinnMETKO 2024 exhibition in Jämsä that support the daily activities of forest machine operators and help forest machine entrepreneurs monitor the profitability and productivity of their fleet. Ponsse’s new forwarders Elk and Wisend and H7 harvester heads will be showcased at the event for the first time.
