With a strong focus on commercial vehicle workshops – MEKO’s most important customer group today – the company is now launching a dedicated division to accelerate growth in a market full of potential. MEKO is taking a major step into the commercial vehicle sector with the launch of a powerful new division. The initiative is led by Nils Hollmann, who brings over 15 years of industry experience.“We’re now increasing our pace in a fragmented market, but one that is also full of opportunity – both for MEKO and everyone who owns, operates, repairs or maintain commercial vehicles,” says Hollmann.
Tires are one of the most critical factors for safety, comfort, and performance in a vehicle. With the right tires, car owners can both improve driving comfort and enhance road safety. Tires are also a strategically important product with significant growth opportunities and potential for upselling. This is why MEKO invests heavily in tires, including a multi-year agreement with Goodyear, one of the world's largest and most renowned tire manufacturers.
Imagine your car breaks down and is brought to the workshop because it won’t start. After initial troubleshooting, technicians discover an issue that can't be solved with a standard diagnostic tool. Instead of towing the car to an original equipment (OE) workshop, the workshop connects to a remote diagnostics service. MEKO’s expert technicians, utilizing OE-level diagnostic tools, resolve the issue remotely, saving time, costs, and eliminating the need for the car to be towed.
During 12 months will 12 employees from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Finland and the Baltics get the chance to be part of shaping the mobility of the future at MEKO, the leading independent aftermarket company in northern Europe. This talent development initiative is designed to cultivate the next generation of leaders and empower participants to drive innovation and excellence across our operations.
The automotive aftermarket is undergoing a significant transformation in several areas to become more sustainable. Louise Wohrne, Head of Sustainability at MEKO, highlights sustainability trends for 2025 and how MEKO is addressing them.
Better purchasing prices and a stronger position – this is the result three years after MEKO's strategic entry into the Baltic region. Moving forward, the goal is clear: to achieve increased growth and enhanced profitability. “Becoming part of MEKO was a game changer for us,” says Sten Pertens, Managing Director of MEKO’s operations in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
The need for a future-ready workforce has never been more critical as the automotive industry undergoes rapid transformation. But as the industry leader in northern Europe, MEKO is in the forefront of developing talent, leadership, and culture to meet the new demands.
MEKO’s operations in Finland take an important step forward – and Sanna Reunanen is the one leading the way. The goal: To improve profitability, strengthen the business, and make the most important target group even more satisfied.
