What Avesco Oy does

Avesco Oy is the Finnish operating subsidiary of the Swiss-based Avesco Group, a sixth-generation family business with over 150 years of operating history. In Finland, Avesco serves as the official Caterpillar dealer, distributing the full Cat portfolio across construction machines (excavators, dozers, graders, loaders, dump trucks, telescopic handlers, road construction equipment), mining machines (large wheel loaders, hydraulic shovels, off-highway trucks, underground trucks and loaders), and power and energy systems (industrial and marine engines, diesel and gas generators, UPS). The offering is supplemented by Magni telehandlers and Hyundai used equipment, plus a complete aftermarket stack including Cat genuine parts via parts.cat.com, maintenance agreements, nationwide repair services across 7 workshops, Cat Certified Rebuild programs, VisionLink fleet management, S·O·S fluid analysis, EPP protection plans, operator training, and Cat Financial leasing solutions.

The company operates an enterprise field sales motion with inside sales and service hotlines, supported by 260+ employees across 7 locations spanning Kerava (HQ), Oulu, Tampere, Kuopio, Turku, Raahe (with railway traffic certification), and Vaasa. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time transactions (new and used machine sales, parts) and recurring or usage-based streams (maintenance agreements, equipment rentals via Vatupassi, financing, certified rebuilds, operator training). Customer segments span construction contractors, mining operators, industrial/energy facilities (including marine applications), and specialized railway traffic services, with primary geographic concentration in Finland while operating within the 11-country footprint of the Avesco Group parent.

Technically, Avesco delivers Cat's integrated technology stack — VisionLink fleet telematics, Cat Grade with 2D/3D (Trimble/Topcon/Leica compatible), Cat Payload on-the-go weighing, S·O·S fluid analysis, Grade with Assist semi-autonomous digging, Operator Coaching, and Cat Command remote control — bundled into Next Gen excavators such as the 2025 Cat 319, M318–M320, Cat 374, and Cat 395 launches. A branded "Avesco AI-Assistant" chatbot supports website customer inquiries. In April 2026, Juhamatti Joensuu was appointed Managing Director effective May 18, 2026, signaling a leadership refresh within the privately held subsidiary structure.

Core offering

Avesco Oy is the official Caterpillar dealer in Finland, selling new Cat construction machines, mining equipment, and power and energy systems, complemented by Magni telehandlers and used machines.

Product overview

Avesco Oy operates as a Caterpillar dealer in Finland, distributing a broad portfolio of Cat construction, mining, and power equipment alongside supplementary brands. The product range spans five construction machine categories (dozers and motor graders, excavators across mini/crawler/wheel/rail/industrial variants, loaders including backhoe/skid-steer/wheel types, dump trucks, telescopic handlers, and road construction equipment), a dedicated Mining Machines division (large wheel loaders, motor graders, dozers, hydraulic shovels, off-highway trucks, and underground trucks/loaders), Power and Energy systems (industrial engines, marine engines, diesel generators, gas generators, and UPS systems), Work Tools, and Magni telehandlers. The offering is supplemented by comprehensive after-market services including maintenance agreements, Cat genuine parts, repairs, rebuilds (including Cat Certified Rebuild), equipment management via VisionLink, operator training, extended protection plans (EPP), S·O·S fluid analysis services, financial solutions, and a used machines program. The portfolio is thus a multi-brand equipment platform anchored by the Cat brand, augmented by complementary product lines (Magni, Hyundai used machines) and layered service offerings that cover the full equipment lifecycle from sales through financing, maintenance, rebuild, and training.
