History
Koivunen’s traditions go all the way back to 1927, when the company Autosähkö Oy was established. One of the company’s two founders was
Mr. Oskar Koivunen, and it operated, according to its business name, as a special shop in the auto electric trade expanding its activities
to the spare parts business, too. At that time, the number of vehicles was a little over twenty thousand. The company was divided in the
middle of the 40’s and its wholesale department of motor vehicle spare parts continued under a new name – Koivunen Oy. The company grew
and developed along with the growth of the vehicle park and operated in the centre of Helsinki up to the middle of
the 80’s. In 1986, Koivunen Oy moved to Malmi in Helsinki, where it has nowadays the storage spaces and office premises of about 40.000 m2.
Koivunen has always been an international enterprise; it does business worldwide with the manufacturers of the products included in its product range. The company’s own exports were started with the disintegration of the Soviet
Union at the beginning of the 90’s. Nowadays the company has the subsidiaries in all the Baltic State.
At the turn of the millennium, we started an intensive expansion of activities on the commercial vehicle sector. We bought the business of an
enterprise specialized in refrigerating systems of vehicles load rooms and in air conditioners of buses. Under the name “Suomen Kuljetuslaite Oy” we have been expanding
its activities to the sales of spare part and appliances for heavy duty vehicles as well as installing service and repair services.
We always endeavour to be in the lead of developments in implementation of operational systems. The first electronic data systems were introduced
as early as at the beginning of the 80’s and the paperless goods handling represents the most advanced information technology in wholesale business.
We created the Fixus concept twenty years ago by publishing a marketing publication which was distributed to every home. We want to be a success in the structural change of the trade and to
support our longstanding dealers. Nowadays almost 350 independent spare part shop and garage entrepreneurs are already part of our Fixus Chain.
Koivunen also has its own tyre department in order to invest in importing of tyres and wheels. In addition, we aim to meet the
continuously increasing demand of tools, fasteners, machines and workshop equipment by offering our customers a wide product range of good quality, always at competitive prices.
