Ponsse Plc has completed the share transaction related to its business activities in the Czech Republic. On 4 February 2022, Ponsse announced that it has signed a deed of sale, in which it undertakes to purchase all shares in Křenek Forest Service s.r.o., its PONSSE forest machine and service dealer in the Czech Republic.

The conditions set for completing the transaction have been met, and the transaction has now been completed. Ponsse Czech s.r.o., a subsidiary wholly owned by Ponsse, is responsible for Ponsse’s sales, spare parts and maintenance activities in the Czech Republic. Employees of Křenek Forest Service s.r.o., Ponsse’s previous dealer, will continue in Ponsse Group, ensuring the positive continuation of local business activities.

The transaction price was not made public by the parties’ mutual agreement, and the price has no impact on the measurement of Ponsse’s value. Ponsse’s local market share is approximately 20 per cent in cut-to-length harvesting.
