Westas Group is one of Finland’s largest privately owned wood processing companies and a trusted producer of certified sawn timber. With sawmills in Pori and Koski TL, the company delivers around 480,000 cubic meters of certified timber annually, and approximately 90% of this production is exported worldwide.

Euroports Rauma Oy is one of Westas Group’s key partners in timber exports. Euroports provides a comprehensive range of services, including storage, container handling, loading operations, forwarding, and coordination of export logistics. This collaboration covers the entire supply chain at the port, ensuring efficient and smooth exports across multiple modes of transport.

Westas’ Logistics Manager Arto Kuusiniemi is pleased with the quality of cooperation and the reliability of the service.

"Euroports was chosen as our partner thanks to the port’s ideal location and the high quality of its services."

Westas trusts Euroports’ expertise

Westas timber is exported both as traditional bulk shipments, where large quantities of timber are loaded as loose cargo, and as container and trailer transports, which enable flexible and customer-specific delivery.

“Centralizing material flows in Rauma serves us excellently as an operator on the west coast, and we can rely on Euroports’ quality. We are particularly satisfied with the container export services and feel that the operations are cost-effective.”

Kuusiniemi also highlights Euroports’ flexibility and solution-oriented approach.

“We value Euroports’ ability to adapt to changing situations and their close cooperation with the Port of Rauma. This is evident in risk management, as Euroports acts as a consultative partner, actively seeking solutions to potential challenges. When necessary, they have even corrected mistakes that occurred on our side.”

Future development objectives

In the future, Kuusiniemi hopes Euroports will further develop its service offering, particularly in terms of digitalization and system development.

“As a development goal for the future, I would highlight streamlining information and advancing digitalization as part of the service offering to reduce manual work.”

Overall, Kuusiniemi says that Westas is very satisfied with Euroports’ services. He praises the smooth cooperation and communication, as well as Euroports’ flexibility and quick responsiveness.

“Both sales representatives and operational staff are easily reachable by phone and email. Response times are short, and the service is good and fast. I can warmly recommend Euroports to all import and export companies on the west coast.”
