Wallenius SOL changes name to Wallenius Link
Following the previously announced change in ownership, shipping company Wallenius SOL is now taking the next natural step. From 12 November 2026 the company will operate under the name Wallenius Link.
Wallenius SOL will change its name to Wallenius Link after Wallenius Lines acquired the remaining shares in the company, becoming its sole owner.
The ownership change follows an agreement signed in April 2026 under which Wallenius Lines acquired SOL Group’s stake in the business. According to the company, the new ownership structure provides long-term stability, continuity and a strengthened platform for future growth.
The new name reflects the company’s role in connecting industries, supply chains and markets across Northern Europe.
“We’ve always believed in creating links between companies, capabilities and people,” said Erik Nøklebye, CEO of Wallenius Lines. He noted that industrial producers, manufacturers and communities all depend on reliable transport and infrastructure to keep goods moving and businesses growing.
The rebranding will not affect the company’s operations, strategic direction or service offering. Wallenius Link will continue to operate under the same management team and organisational structure.
Elvir Dzanic, CEO of Wallenius Link, emphasized that customers and long-term partnerships throughout the value chain will remain at the centre of the company’s strategy. He highlighted the company’s historic role in supporting critical industrial infrastructure throughout Northern Europe and its ambition to continue building on that legacy.
The new brand identity will be introduced gradually across the organisation. Vessel rebranding will take place during scheduled maintenance periods, meaning both the Wallenius SOL and Wallenius Link names will coexist for a transitional period as implementation progresses.
