Suomen Kulutusosa and Öljycenter Finland are merging
We acted as advisors to the shareholders of Öljycenter Finland Oy in a share transaction where Sponosa Group, the owner of Suomen Kulutusosa, acquired 100% of the company’s shares. As part of the deal, the selling companies, Ansakorpi Holdings Oy and JanOils Oy, made a significant reinvestment in the acquiring company.
Jussi Ansakorpi, Business Director, and Janne Ansakorpi, Commercial Director of Öljycenter Finland, commented:
“Eversheds’ team provided active and expert support throughout the transaction, regardless of the time of day. Their strategic, commercial, and legal guidance helped us make well-informed decisions, ultimately leading to a positive outcome that sets clear, future-oriented goals for us.”
Eversheds Partner Antti Husa added:
“It is always an honor to execute a transaction for a strong company and ambitious sellers. This deal exemplifies how technical and commercial expertise can be leveraged to create value. Negotiations were constructive for all parties, and I believe Öljycenter Finland will be an excellent addition to Suomen Kulutusosa. We sincerely thank our clients for their trust in our team.”
We provided comprehensive advisory services to the sellers, covering both legal and commercial aspects. Our project team was led by Partner Antti Husa and COO Antti Liimatainen, with support from M&A Manager Santeri Vaattovaara, Analyst Roope Grönholm, Specialist Counsel Tiina Koivisto, Senior Associates Lavinia Husa and Linda Stenroth, and Associate Sanni Tirkkonen.
