With the agreement reached on November 5th between Avesco, Wihuri and Caterpillar, Avesco is taking over the distribution of Caterpillar products for the Finnish market from Wihuri. Avesco will take on around 240 employees who will continue the already successful business with machines, drive and energy systems as well as machine and equipment leasing.

The agreement extends Avesco's collaboration with Caterpillar. In addition to Switzerland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Avesco is expected to serve Finland with Caterpillar products as of 1 January 2020. There are no changes for the Swiss and Baltic divisions with this takeover.
