Strategy
The automotive industry’s unbeatable operator
Wetteri’s “Unmissable” Strategy is based on the structural transformation and market trends of the automotive industry. Our goal is to be the unbeatable operator in the field and to grow profitably throughout Finland. Customer experience is key to achieving our goals: we make the complicated simple and handling car matters easy.
The four key priorities of the strategy are:
Profitable growth in new cars’ brand business
We aim for growth both organically and through carefully selected inorganic sources. As consolidation in the automotive sector continues, we strive to be a reliable partner for car manufacturers and importers.
Excellent customer experience
Buying or maintaining a car puts a pause on a customer’s daily life. Our job is to get it rolling again. Our entire service model is based on the premise that our customers have no reason to go anywhere else. We have a suitable car for every life situation and a solution for every motoring problem—simply and easily.
Doubling the sales of the used car business
We are strengthening our competitiveness in the used car market by developing our operating models and expanding our purchasing activities to improve the selection available to our customers. We are exploring opportunities to expand into growth centers. We want to offer our customers the most attractive, high-quality, and modern selection of used cars possible, with options for every need.
The top talents in the industry
Car sales and maintenance are, above all, a service business. A healthy and skilled workforce ensures that the customer’s motoring experience goes exactly as it should. At Wetteri, every employee knows their goals and keeps their promises to customers, colleagues, and supervisors alike. We ensure our personnel’s competence through training and first-class leadership. Following our recent expansion, we are investing specifically in building a unified Wetteri culture and developing the employee experience.
The strategy will be implemented in two phases
Phase 1: Turnaround 2025 – 2026
In the first phase, Wetteri will rebuild a profitable base for business by restructuring its organisation and harmonising and developing its operating models. Wetteri will focus on its core business by reviewing its brand portfolio in new cars, improving efficiency in maintenance services and strengthening the used car business. The aim is to increase revenue and gross margin, streamline the cost structure, reduce indebtedness, and achieve a sustained turnaround in profitability. The result will be an organisation with a standardised management model and consistent processes that enable business scaling and profitable growth. The first-phase measures were launched in the second half of 2025 and are expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
Phase 2: Profitable growth 2026 – 2028
In the second phase of the strategy, Wetteri aims for profitable growth both organically and through carefully selected inorganic growth opportunities. Revenue growth will be driven particularly by the used car business and the sale of value-added services, as well as by expanding the store network. The company expects consolidation in the automotive sector to continue during the strategy period and intends to increase its national coverage as a representative and dealer of selected brands.
New targets for profitable growth
The financial targets approved in connection with the strategy include turnover growth targets and profitability targets. The goals are intended to be achieved by the end of the strategy period:

- Adjusted operating profit of 3% of turnover

We are part of the automotive industry’s change
At Wetteri, we see opportunities in the transformation of the automotive industry. We have reformed and developed our operations before, and now we are once again boldly facing the new.
During the strategy period 2026–2028, we will distill the core essence of what makes Wetteri, Wetteri. Our goal is to be the unmissable player in the automotive industry: one that makes the complicated simple and the difficult easy for our customers. We have the straightforward Northern Finnish professional expertise for this, dating all the way back to the 1960s—that is, over 60 years of automotive expertise that we have successfully expanded to be available across all of Finland, from Rovaniemi to Raisio.
We aim to be the leading and indispensable player in each of our business areas focused on passenger and commercial vehicles. The heavy equipment business supports our growth.
With this level of ambition and our full-service dealership model, we ensure that our customers receive exactly the service they deserve in every aspect of motoring at each of our locations — simply the best.
