Lapin Kumi, Citira’s Finnish tire services chain, is today acquiring Rengas-Heikki, a well-regarded tire shop in Oulu, northern Finland. The acquisition expands Lapin Kumi’s operations and advances Citira’s growth across northern Europe.
“Lapin Kumi has operated in the Oulu area for fifteen years, and we have recently wanted to increase our capacity in the passenger vehicle segment. Rengas-Heikki has been known for its excellent work in the Oulu area for decades. Petri and Ilpo have built the company into a well-established tire service provider, and it is a pleasure to continue their work and take it forward together,” says Ville Ruokanen, CEO of Lapin Kumi.
Rengas-Heikki was founded in 1999 and has since grown into one of the key tire service providers for passenger vehicles in Oulu.
“The decision to sell was made thoughtfully and with confidence. Lapin Kumi has broader shoulders and excellent resources to further grow and develop the business. Through this merger, we can offer our customers even better service, a wider range, and stronger tire expertise. We wanted to ensure that our company’s future is in stable and growth-oriented hands. Lapin Kumi is a respected company with the same values and customer-centered approach as we have at Rengas-Heikki,” says Petri Haipus, CEO of Suomen Rengas-Heikki.
Rengas-Heikki will continue its operations in its current location, with its familiar staff and customer-oriented service attitude, now as part of Lapin Kumi.
