Ab ME GROUP Oy Ltd

Ab ME GROUP Oy Ltd represents a significant consolidation of maritime expertise within the Baltic Sea region, functioning as a specialized ship supplier and logistics provider. Established in its current corporate form during the 1990s, the company was created through the strategic merger of four distinct and long-standing entities: Mathias Eriksson, Trapp & Klingstedt Shipsupply, Laivamuonitus Shipstores, and Mathias Eriksson Sweden. By uniting these legacy operators, the firm inherited a combined operational history spanning more than two centuries, allowing it to leverage deep-rooted industry relationships and logistical know-how immediately upon formation. Based in Finland, the company operates as a comprehensive ship chandler, serving the diverse requirements of the marine sector. Its infrastructure is designed to support the complete supply chain for vessels calling at ports throughout Northern Europe. The organization maintains a robust network of logistics centers and warehouses located in key maritime hubs, including facilities in Turku, Helsinki, Rauma, and Oulu, as well as international operations in Sweden and Estonia. This wide geographical footprint enables the rapid deployment of goods to ports across the Baltic area, ensuring that vessels receive necessary supplies without operational delays. The core of the business revolves around the sourcing, storage, and delivery of ship stores. Operations encompass the supply of provisions, ranging from fresh foods to dry goods, ensuring reliable catering for ship crews and passengers. Beyond sustenance, the company manages technical logistics, providing deck and engine stores required for vessel maintenance and daily operation. A significant component of its portfolio also includes the wholesale and distribution of duty-paid and tax-free goods, catering specifically to the ferry and cruise industries as well as the diplomatic corps. Functioning as part of the Ab Wiklöf Holding group, Ab ME GROUP Oy Ltd emphasizes the integration of logistics with customs brokerage and forwarding services. By handling the complexities of import documentation and transit formalities, the company facilitates the smooth movement of supplies across borders. Its client base reflects the breadth of the maritime industry, supporting cargo vessels, passenger ferries, cruise liners, and international peacekeeping forces with tailored supply solutions.
