Hedin Mobility Group completes the acquisition of Scandia Rent, strengthening its presence on the Nordic car rental market

Scandia Rent’s existing station network in Finland aligns perfectly with MABI's growth strategy. By leveraging MABI's resources and combining them with Scandia Rent's existing infrastructure and local knowledge, customers will be able to benefit from an even wider fleet of vehicles and a seamless rental experience.

"We are thrilled to join the MABI family and look forward to enhancing our services, providing even better mobility solutions for our customers,” says Timo Raimovaara, COO at Scandia Rent. “We are excited to benefit from MABI's resources and expertise as we continue to develop and expand on the Finnish market.”

André Schleemann, CEO of MABI Mobility AB, adds, “We are confident that this acquisition will strengthen our position in the market and offer our customers improved opportunities for flexible and reliable car rental in Finland. The business will continue through the existing franchise network and will also be expanded with additional rental offices at Hedin's facilities in Finland. This ensures a seamless transition and continuity of operations for both employees and customers.”
