NTEX continues its growth in the Nordic region and has now established an office in Finland. With this expansion, we will strengthen our presence in the region 

NTEX establishes presence in Finland

NTEX Finland Oy is in the rapidly growing business area of Aviapolis in Vantaa, a strategic location close to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport and Vuosaari Harbor – the main logistics hubs in Finland. With a strong infrastructure and proximity to customers, this provides NTEX with optimal growth opportunities in the Finnish market, while also enhancing our ability to offer efficient transport solutions for Nordic and European customers with connections to and from Finland.
Even before establishing our presence, NTEX had significant transport flows to and from Finland. It has been strategically important for NTEX to establish a presence in Finland to be closer to our customers. Now that we have a local presence, we can further develop our services and offer even more tailored solutions to existing and new Finnish customers.
&nbsp;
Experienced team with extensive industry background
Managing Director of NTEX Finland, Kimmo Salmi, has over 30 years of experience in the logistics industry and a solid background in international transport. Together with Markku Hirvonen, who has over 20 years of experience in forwarding and traffic management, they form the foundation of our Finnish team. They have previously worked closely with NTEX through Scanroad Finland, ensuring a seamless transition to our new organization.
Kimmo Salmi sees great opportunities for NTEX in Finland:
&#8220;By establishing a local presence, we can better respond to market needs and offer flexible and efficient transport solutions to Finnish customers. We are already well established in the market, and with a dedicated and competent team, we look forward to developing NTEX Finland further.&#8221;
 
Building a strong team and long-term vision
The long-term goal is to build a strong team in Finland and strengthen cooperation with NTEX offices in other countries. The aim is to make NTEX Finland a preferred logistics partner with high customer satisfaction and strong industry relationships.
We look forward to growing our presence in Finland and warmly welcome Kimmo, Markku, and future team members to NTEX!

NTEX Expands with New Office Opening in Newcastle

Originally from Nottingham, Sam has spent much of his career within logistics, working his way from operations to senior sales roles. Now based in the North East, he’s excited to use his knowledge to strengthen the logistics landscape in the region and to enhance the customer experience with better proximity to customers throughout the area.
When NTEX approached him with the opportunity to open a branch in the area, Sam saw it as an ideal fit, especially given the company’s strong connection to the Immingham port. &#8220;This is a perfect opportunity to help NTEX establish itself further, particularly with our Scandinavian logistics solutions,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I’m passionate about building lasting relationships and making a real impact in this region.&#8221;
Sam&#8217;s mission is clear: to position NTEX as the go-to provider for Scandinavian logistics in the North East of England. &#8220;We&#8217;re focused on delivering exceptional service and strengthening our presence locally,&#8221; he added. &#8220;This is just the beginning as we grow and develop our position in the market.&#8221;
Over the coming months, Sam plans to meet with both existing and potential customers through a series of visits and industry events. &#8220;We’re based in the Team Valley, so we welcome anyone to stop by and chat,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I’m excited to connect with the local community and look forward to what we can achieve together.&#8221;
With his extensive background and clear vision for the future, Sam is poised to make a significant impact on NTEX&#8217;s growth in the North East.

Thomas Ström &#8211; Founder of NTEX

Following Stena AB’s acquisition of a majority stake in NTEX in August this year, the founder and CEO Thomas Ström announced his intention to hand over the role to Andreas Nikolic.
NTEX now confirms that Thomas Ström will step down as CEO on 31 January 2025, with Andreas Nikolic assuming the role on 1 February 2025.
“I am deeply honoured to have been given this opportunity to lead NTEX into the future. It is, of course, a significant responsibility to follow in the footsteps of Thomas Ström, who has devoted his life to building this company. Together with our 1,100 employees, I am confident we will continue to drive the growth and success of NTEX,” said Andreas Nikolic.
Nikolic brings extensive experience from the transport industry and joined NTEX in 2012 as CEO of NTEX AS, the Norwegian branch. In 2022 Nikolic was promoted to Chief Operating Officer of NTEX Group and under his leadership, NTEX has grown into a major industry player with a strong presence throughout Europe and beyond.
“The transport industry is continuously evolving and facing increasing competition. Andreas Nikolic has the ideal background to address these challenges with his team. I am confident he will continue to enhance and grow NTEX,” said Niclas Mårtensson, Chairman of the NTEX Board of Directors.
While Thomas Ström will step down as CEO, he remains actively involved in the company as member of it&#8217;s strategic team.
“Thomas Ström is a true entrepreneur and has built this company from the ground up into the successful business it is today. His industry knowledge is exceptional, and his network is invaluable. I am pleased that he will continue to support the company through acquisitions and new ventures,” said Niclas Mårtensson.
