Wallenius Link said in a release timed 09:02 CET on 12 November 2026 that, following the previously announced change in ownership, Wallenius SOL is taking the next step. From 12 November 2026 the company will operate under the name Wallenius Link.
In April 2026, Wallenius Lines entered into an agreement to acquire SOL Group’s shares in Wallenius SOL, thereby becoming the sole owner of the company. The release says the new ownership structure provides long-term stability and continuity, while creating a clear foundation for the company’s continued development.
“The new name, Wallenius Link, reflects something at the heart of our business and the role we play. We’ve always believed in creating links between companies, capabilities and people. Because no industry moves on its own. A producer depends on reaching its markets. A factory on materials arriving when they are needed. A society on infrastructure that works, every day. And behind all that are the links that enable goods to move and businesses to grow,” says Erik Nøklebye, Chairman of the board, Wallenius Link.
The change of name will not affect operations, strategic direction or offering. Wallenius Link will remain under the leadership of the same management team and organization. The new brand identity will be introduced gradually, in line with operational schedules and local circumstances, including the rebranding of vessels in connection with planned maintenance. The existing and new identities will coexist for some time.
