The depots of Havator Transport are located in Tampere and Vaasa, Finland, and in Tallinn, Estonia (subsidiary Vivarek AS). “We have combined our resources in special transport, special logistics, and project work, and we can now offer our clients more extensive packages than ever. The business concepts of these two companies complement each other well,” says Timo Riiho, the CEO of Havator Transport.
