Wallenius SOL rebrands as Wallenius Link

Wallenius SOL is to change its name to Wallenius Link following a change in ownership that sees Wallenius Lines become the company’s sole shareholder.

The rebranding marks a new chapter for the business, providing long-term ownership stability and a foundation for its continued development.

In April 2026, Wallenius Lines entered into an agreement to acquire SOL Group’s shares in Wallenius SOL. The new company will retain its existing management team, organisational structure, operations and strategic direction.

“The new name, Wallenius Link, reflects something at the heart of our business and the role we play. We’ve always believed in creating links between companies, capabilities and people. Because no industry moves on its own,” said Erik Nøklebye, chief executive of Wallenius Lines.

He added that the business plays a role in connecting producers with markets, ensuring factories receive materials and supporting the infrastructure that enables goods to move and businesses to grow.

Under its new identity, Wallenius Link will continue to focus on customers and partnerships throughout the value chain, maintaining its role in supporting industrial infrastructure across Northern Europe.

“We will continue to put our customers and partnerships across the value chain at the centre of our business. Creating the links that support critical industrial infrastructure in Northern Europe is part of our legacy, and it will remain central to our future,” said Elvir Dzanic, chief executive of Wallenius Link.

The change of name will not affect the company’s service offering or day-to-day operations. Its existing leadership and organisation will remain in place, ensuring continuity for customers, employees and business partners.

The new brand identity will be introduced gradually across the business, taking account of operational schedules and local requirements. Vessel rebranding, for example, will be carried out alongside planned maintenance activities.

Consequently, the Wallenius SOL and Wallenius Link identities will coexist for a transitional period as the company completes the rollout.
