Moving forward as one: Lumikko Oy

Lumikko Oy’s operations will continue as normal, and we will keep serving our customers as an expert in customized thermal management solutions. To avoid confusion, please note that Lumikko Technologies Oy – a separate company with a similar name – will cease operations on April 30, 2025.

Two Stories, One Root

Lumikko’s story began over 55 years ago when the founding brothers started developing truck refrigeration units that could withstand Finland’s demanding weather conditions. This sparked decades of growth and international expansion.
In 2012, the truck refrigeration business was sold to the German company Bitzer, leading to the creation of Lumikko Technologies Oy. Production of truck refrigeration units continued in Seinäjoki under the Lumikko Technologies brand, while Lumikko Oy continued operating with a focus on cooling and air conditioning solutions for rail transport and specialized applications.


Closure of Lumikko Technologies Oy

At the end of 2024, Lumikko Technologies Oy informed its customers and partners about its wind-down. The final day of operations will be April 30, 2025. Technical support, spare parts, and maintenance will be provided going forward by BPW Kraatz Oy Trailcon and authorized service partners.


A Brand Known From the Roads


Lumikko truck refrigeration units have been a familiar sight on the roofs of trucks for decades. Unfortunately, this era has now come to an end.


“In the 1970s, the market lacked reliable equipment for refrigerated transport that could operate in the harsh and fluctuating conditions of the north. As a result of the founding brothers’ innovation, a dependable cooling device for cold transport was born. This carried Lumikko Oy forward for decades, opened doors to export markets, and continued its story for a long time in its new home at Lumikko Technologies,” explains Lauri Latvala, third-generation family entrepreneur and CEO of Lumikko.
