Lehtipiste as an employer
When Lehtipiste was founded over 110 years ago with the idea to provide for a nation of avid readers, its vision was put into motion by selling newspapers and magazines at newsstands on wheels at railway stations. Newsboys yelling “extra, extra” may be a thing of the past. However, we still deliver print media for those who want to smell the ink and enjoy content on a page, not on a screen. A printed page, what a lovely user interface! Newsstands on wheels have since given way to larger vehicles, and distribution is now covered by our 3,800 outlets nationwide. Meanwhile, our product portfolio has expanded to include books and collectibles.
Pakettipiste, part of Lehtipiste, specialised in tailored, time-critical delivery services and serving consumers with their parcel point network, ensures that the trucks transporting print media across the nation six days a week always have a full load to deliver. Loads include everything from car spare parts to online store parcels.
Other companies in the Lehtipiste Group include Suomen Korttipiste Oy which operates on the card and gift product market with well-known brands such as Paletti and Karto, and Putinki Oy, operating in the paper and gift product segment. As well as Hanart Oy, a Finnish wholesale company, which imports high-quality brands for arts, crafts as well as interior design.
