At the beginning of 2021, the merger between FREJA Transport & Logistics and TL TRANS, based in Kronoby, was announced, and it is now complete.
The transaction expanded FREJA's range of transport services with temperature-controlled road transport and around 80 thermo-trailers. From today, FREJA has an office in Kronoby, and all the payment transactions will be transferred from TL Trans to FREJA. “We are now able to serve our customers more comprehensively in their international transport needs”, says Matti Urmas, Managing Director of FREJA Transport & Logistics Oy.
The customers who transferred from TL Trans to FREJA have also been satisfied with the benefits resulting from the merger. “The feedback received from our customers has been positive, as we now have a wider range of services to offer and our customers now also have sea and air freight at their disposal from familiar customer service contacts,” says Jörgen Byskata, Director of Temperature Controlled Transport at FREJA Transport & Logistics.
TL Trans was owned by Jörgen Byskata and Marko Ruotsalainen. The acquisition is FREJA's first takeover during its operations in Finland.
FREJA originally started its operations in Finland in 2003, when the FREJA Group, together with Managing Director Matti Urmas, acquired the Finnish Maa ja Meri Oy. Maa ja Meri Oy was established back in 1942. At that time, its task as a forwarding company was to serve the Finnish Defense Forces by transporting military equipment. The name FREJA Transport & Logistics was adopted at the beginning of 2009 to harmonize all the names in the FREJA Group.
Besides international road transport (approximately 850 trailers), FREJA’s international transport services also include sea and air freight and project transport. In addition to the tarpaulin fleet, our fleet includes approximately 80 thermally controlled trailers that have been approved for ADR transportation and provided with the appropriate ADR equipment. The entire fleet is also ATP/FRC-rated. The fleet is suitable for transport at temperatures ranging from -25 to +25°C.
FREJA Transport & Logistics Oy's head office is in Turku and we also have offices in Kronoby, Vantaa, and Vaasa. In 2020, FREJA Transport & Logistics Oy’s turnover amounted to about EUR 86 million. FREJA in Finland employs around 60 professionals in their field.
As part of the FREJA Group, we are an independent affiliate that operates in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Poland, and China. We have a total of 32 offices. Our company employs about 960 people.

The book Jørgen Hansen – FREJA paves the way is the entertaining entrepreneur story about how FREJA Transport & Logistics A/S in 35 years developed from being only two men with a couple of landline phones to becoming a global logistics and transport company.
“We should use our energy on a marathon – not many small runs” is one of the mottos from FREJA’s founder, Jørgen Hansen. He makes it clear that successful entrepreneurship is not a quick fix, but many years with hard work, dexterity, a positive attitude, a certain amount of luck, and a company culture where the employees support each other and go in the same direction.
Today, FREJA Transport & Logistics A/S is one of the biggest transport and logistics companies in Scandinavia. The 750 employees work in offices in both Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and China.
It was the 26-year-old planner, Jørgen Hansen (also called ‘Speedy’ by friends and colleagues), who started FREJA together with the colleague, Frede Alstrup (called ‘Pangel’), in 1985. The company has always had headquarters in Skive and FREJA’s values like diligence, positivity, thrift, and direct communication are something that most people appreciate.
Growing up, Jørgen Hansen was an eager, temperamental soccer player in the small town Gundersted. He was the midfield general, who took the lead and did everything in his power to win, and he understood how to empower the team members. Jørgen Hansen continues to take the lead as the business owner, CEO, and now also working chairman, when the employees, the so-called FREJANS, are striving to deliver optimal transport and logistics solutions.
FREJA is a living example that it is possible to develop a prosperous global company and at the same time create strong relations with both customers, partners, and employees.
The book will be published at the end of September 2019 as an E-book and in a printed version. An English version is expected to be published in December 2019. The E-book can be bought on Saxo.com.

On October 1st, FREJA's new direct route between Poland and the south of Norway was established.
The new route has regular departures from Łódź in Poland to the south of Norway every Friday and returns to Poland on Tuesday/Wednesday. It goes via the ferry connection between Norway and Sweden to reduce the environmental footprint and costs without compromising quality. Freight to and from Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other countries in Eastern Europe will go via our hub in Lodz before further transport. The new direct route is driven by regular English-speaking drivers as well as minimize reloading and thus ensure an even better quality both during transport, pick-up, and delivery. The investment in the new route is a part of FREJA's long-term strategy for developing our traffic to/from Eastern Europe.
We look forward to providing an even better service for both our existing and new customers. Feel free to get in touch with us if you want to learn more about our solutions and prices for shipments to or from Poland/Eastern Europe.
The terminal at FREJA in Taastrup is busy as an anthill. Throughout the week from Sunday night to Friday night, the terminal is full of cargo going in and out on its way further out into the world. The items should stay shortest time possible as they are only here in transit on their way to one of the four Nordic countries, to terminals at the European continent, or to one of the other FREJA warehouses in Denmark.
In order to support this activity, FREJA has recently made a sustainable choice and invested in six new electric forklifts from N.C. Nielsen. The forklifts are equipped with lithium-ION batteries, which keep the internal transport running 24/7. The forklifts rarely stand still and when they do, it is mainly to recharge in one of the specially designed quick loaders, which in only a few minutes are able to increase driving time considerably.
Terminal Manager in Taastrup Teddy Hansen says: “We have achieved a better flow than before as we save time by not having to change batteries and refill water. The lithium-ION batteries take care of themselves and we can recharge them fast in our quick loaders. At the same time they operate better than traditional batteries, last longer, and are more energy effective”.
In FREJA we are happy that the new electric forklifts give us operational, environmental-friendly, and financial advantages, and we are convinced that lithium-ION is the battery technology of the future.
We are pleased to announce that from April 3, FREJA Sweden has employed Maria Danell as new HR manager. Maria Danell will also be a part of the Swedish management team.
Maria, who has many years of experience in the crew- and recruitment business, comes from a position as HR Manager at Faiveley Transport in Landskrona.
CEO Anders Ekroth says: "Maria, who has a solid education in behavioral science and business development, will as HR Manager be responsible for and develop FREJA's work on recruitment and competence supply, work environment issues and leadership coaching.
She will also strengthen our future structures, guidelines and routines for the company's future HR work. We are very pleased that Maria chooses FREJA and the journey we have in front of us”.
The employment of Maria Danell is part of the long-term focus in FREJA Sweden in the light of the desire to strengthen and secure the development of all our staff as well as the strategic organizational development.
The transport and logistics corporation FREJA Transport & Logistics AB continues the development of the Swedish organization
Anders Ekroth (age 50) starts on January 1st 2018 as managing director for FREJA Transport & Logistics AB in Sweden and at the same time he enters the group’s management team.
Anders Ekroth lives in Ängelholm and his most recent position has been managing director for LEMAN’s activities in Sweden. In addition to a large experience from the logistics business, where he has work for companies like Schenker, Nyman og Schultz, Hapag, Iloyd and Greencarrier, Anders has served the UN in Lebanon and for many years he has been active in different associations such as board member in Rögle BK Hockey.
With this most recent employment, the FREJA group has put together a brand new management team in Sweden during 2017 - a team that will make sure that the Swedish part of the organization will level with the rest of the group after more years with disappointing results.
Furthermore, the new employments will secure an intensified focus on the development of the Swedish road activities, which have constituted the main part of the activities so far but in addition, the qualifications are now set to develop the activities in Air & Sea as well as project forwarding.
FREJA Transport & Logistics AB has now moved one step closer to having the organization in place to secure our position as Swedish business life’s first choice as transport & logistics provider, where service, flexibility and quality always will have the highest priority.
