The Savonlinja Group is the most important bus-service provider in Eastern Finland, and is building an ever-stronger presence in public transport in Southern Finland.

In 1924 Toivo J. Honkanen, Senior Advisor for Finance and the founder of the Savonlinja Group, started a passenger service between Lappeenranta and Lauritsala with his Ford Model-T. Today's modern family business, which has being going strong for three generations, grew from this, and is now run by director Raimo O. Honkanen, Senior Advisor for Road Transport.

In addition to the Eastern Finland region, Helsinki and Turku and their surrounding areas are also core areas. The international traffic handled by the Savonlinja Group comprises a number of routes into Russia and Sweden. The range of services offered includes town and local traffic, service traffic for municipalities, rural traffic, school buses, ExpressBus services, versatile passenger and tourist travel, a high-quality charter bus service and a travel agency.

The Savonlinja Group employs some 800 bus-transport professionals and owns over 500 buses.
