Oy Moonway Ab, a transport and
forwarding company in Turku, is now
part of the Backman-Trummer Group. The
acquisition will expand the range of services
offered by Backman-Trummer into dry and
liquid bulk transport and further strengthen
the Group’s position as an expert in export and import transport. It will also improve
Moonway’s prospects for developing new
high-quality, competitive logistic solutions but
will not affect its everyday operations. The
company will remain independent within the
Backman-Trummer Group; it will keep its
name and retain its staff. Moonway’s previous
owners, Tom Mohn and Jari Vuontela, will
continue to work for the company, the former
as managing director and the latter as financial
manager.
Founded in 1994, Moonway specialises in container transport for the food, chemical,
paper and construction industries. It strengths
are a diverse range of equipment and a highly
competent staff. It uses both its own and rental
containers in transport and typical cargoes
comprise fruit juice concentrate, alcohol-
containing products and various chemicals.
The containers hold from 20,000 to 36,000
litres and can be divided into separate
compartments. Heated containers are available for winter transport. Moonway’s services meet
the requirements of the ISO 9001 and SQAS
quality systems.
