Lehtipiste Group’s vision is to become the most efficient distribution company in Finland and a responsible, preferred partner. While helping ensure the viability of print media, we are looking for growth in other industries in accordance with our strategy, including greeting card, packaging, transport, and parcel businesses. Lehtipiste’s business is divided in three business units: magazine, greeting card and parcel business.
Our national distribution network delivers single-issue copies, collectibles, paperbacks and maps early in the morning to about 3,800 outlets. Our clientele includes several Finnish and international publishers and suppliers. In recent years, we have invested heavily in parcel deliveries, building a growing parcel point network under the Pakettipiste brand. Pakettipiste has focused on, for instance, online store deliveries and on time-critical transports for automotive and healthcare industries.
The greeting card companies in our group are Finnish leaders in communicating emotion and feelings. Suomen Korttipiste Oy is a significant operator in the greeting card and gift product market, and products under its classic Karto and Paletti brands are available at around 3,400 outlets. Putinki Art Oy serves consumers and retailers in the paper and gift trade through insightful design, focuses on craft supplies, Finnish design, paper products and gifts, and acts as an importer of well-known, high-quality brand-name products for art-making, crafts and interior design.
