Our roots and history

Over 100 years of experience in the distribution of technical materials

Our history began in 1913 with Alfred Onninen establishing a small hydraulic company in the Finnish city of Turku. The company grew rapidly, expanding its scope and profile of business activity. Since 2016, Onninen has been a part of Kesko Group and operates in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Cultural differences combined with the diverse development of individual regions give Onninen’s activities a special, dynamic character. We want to be more than a traditional wholesaler. We want to be the best trading partner for our customers and suppliers, offering not only an assortment of several industries in one place, but also excellent service and proven solutions in management and distribution of technical materials.
