What Kuljetusliike Y. Auramaa does

Kuljetusliike Y. Auramaa Oy is a Finnish family-owned road transport and contract logistics company founded in 1929 in Kauttua, Finland. The group operates approximately 150 owned vehicles plus 160 contracted vehicles and employs over 800 logistics professionals across 13 locations in Finland, with consolidated terminal and warehouse footprint of roughly 60,000 m2. As the largest shareholder-operator in the Kaukokiito transport chain, the company provides nationwide overnight piece goods transport, contract traffic for the food and heavy industries, project transport for oversized cargo, and sea container transport from Finnish ports, supported by ATP-certified cold-chain capability and temperature-monitored vehicles.

The technology stack centers on Repsikka, a NaviTrans-based transportation management system that constitutes the largest NaviTrans deployment globally and provides real-time, shipment-level tracking at the collar/crate level. The Ongoing warehouse management system delivers real-time inventory visibility with customer-accessible credentials. The recently expanded Turku facility (early 2022) added 12,000 pallet spaces in a 12-meter high storage and uses CO2 refrigeration plus rooftop solar power, indicating a deliberate sustainability positioning.

Commercially, Auramaa sells through direct field sales organized across four regional area managers and dedicated sales managers per location, alongside self-service online quote request forms. Pricing is quote-based for both transport and warehousing. Revenue is generated primarily through transactional freight services, recurring contract logistics for food and heavy industry customers, and managed warehousing services. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and is privately held across four generations of the founding family.
