Maatori Group is the leading Nordic company specializing in heavy equipment brokerage. It has grown strongly in recent years and the Group’s turnover 2024 exceeded EUR 50 million.

The Group’s founder and long-time CEO Mika Kähäri will have to step down from the company’s operational activities due to health reasons but will continue to support the new CEO during the transition period and stay as a member on Maatori’s Board of Directors.

To support the company’s next steps in growth, Board of Directors has appointed Tero Manner as the Group’s new CEO from January 22, 2025. Manner has an extensive experience in demanding management positions, most recently as CEO of Reka Rubber Ltd, a subcontractor to the heavy vehicle industry.

“I would like to thank Mika for his exceptionally strong contribution to developing Maatori into the leading Nordic heavy equipment brokerage and financing provider in its own field. At the same time, I welcome Tero to continue developing and growing the company and expanding its international operations,” says Sampo Ahonen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Maatori.

“I am confident about the prospects of Maatori and Aari Rahoitus. The company is on solid ground in terms of its ownership and business. After the Group achieved strong growth for several consecutive years, a handover of the leadership to the next one would have likely happen in the future as the organization is preparing for the next growth phase.”, says Mika Kähäri, founder of the Group.

“Maatori’s story is a great growth story and an indication of high quality and professional work. Our goal is to continue growing in Finland and internationally.”, says Tero Manner, CEO of Maatori Oy.
