Musta Pörssi to wind up operations
Kesko will gradually wind up Musta Pörssi Ltd's operations and close the
mustaporssi.fi online store by the end of 2015.
Business operations of Musta Pörssi have focused on home technology and
electronics. Kesko closed the chain operations of Musta Pörssi in 2013 and
divested Anttila Ltd, in which these product groups were strongly represented,
in early 2015.
In spring, Kesko published its strategy, the core of which is to seek growth and
efficiency by focusing on the grocery trade, the building and home improvement
trade and the car trade. Kesko is strongly developing digital services and
online sales particularly in the strategic growth areas.
Efforts will be taken to find new jobs for Musta Pörssi Ltd's employees in
Kesko's other business operations. Musta Pörssi Ltd and mustaporssi.fi currently
employ 11 people.
