Jussi Heinonen joins TGP as new Finland operation launches

Trans Global Projects (TGP) launches TGP Finland, with Jussi Heinonen joining TGP, strengthening its presence in Northern Europe and expanding its ability to support complex project logistics requirements from the Finnish market.

The new entity reflects TGP’s focus on countries with advanced heavy engineering, industrial manufacturing and energy activity, where specialist project logistics expertise and disciplined execution are essential. TGP Finland will operate within the worldwide TGP network, working closely with regional and global teams to deliver integrated project solutions.

“Finland is home to highly specialized heavy engineering and industrial companies, with demanding project requirements and tight execution schedules. Establishing TGP Finland allows us to support clients more closely in this environment, combining local understanding with TGP’s global project experience,” says Colin Charnock, Group CEO, Trans Global Projects.

TGP Finland will be led by Jussi Heinonen, who joins TGP to establish and develop the new operation and support clients across Finland.

Jussi Heinonen brings extensive experience in project cargo, oversized and heavy transport, with a strong background in project logistics management, sales and business development within Finland and the wider Northern European region. Prior to joining TGP, he held senior leadership roles in Finland’s project logistics sector, including as Managing Director and Partner at UPF Finland Oy, and previously in management positions covering project transport execution and development across Finland, Sweden and the Baltic states. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Logistics, Materials and Supply Chain Management from Turku University of Applied Sciences.

Jussi Heinonen says, “I join TGP because of its clear focus on disciplined planning and delivery in complex project environments. My role is to build a capable local operation in Finland that supports clients directly, while making full use of the network’s project expertise and global reach.”

“Finland is a technically demanding market where local expertise and close coordination are essential. With TGP Finland, we are strengthening our ability to support clients with on the ground capability, backed by wider regional and international project experience,” Andreas Menzel, Managing Director Northern Europe, Trans Global Projects, adds.

Looking ahead, TGP Finland will focus on supporting clients in heavy industry, energy and industrial manufacturing, providing direct local engagement while integrating seamlessly with TGP’s broader project logistics capabilities across Northern Europe and beyond.
