History

SanomaWSOY was formed in 1999 with the merger of Sanoma Corporation, WSOY (Werner Söderström Osakeyhtiö; Werner Söderström Corporation) and Helsinki Media Company. The group reverted to the name Sanoma Corporation in October 2008. On 5 March 2012, the group announced that it had sold R-kioski, a Finland-based Finnish–Baltic kiosk chain with 1,048 outlets, to Norway's Reitan Group for roughly 1 billion Norwegian krone. The group had been working on the purchase for a decade, but previous negotiations had stranded as Sanoma had demanded a merger where they owned 51 percent. The purchase brought the Reitan Group to 2,500 kiosk outlets, making it the second-largest kiosk group in Europe.

Profile

The group has an annual turnover of 2.761 billion euros and employed over 15,400 people on a full-time equivalent basis at the end of 2010.

Sanoma's stock is listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. Its biggest owners include Aatos Erkko and other members of the Erkko family. The newspaper Helsingin Sanomat that was founded in 1889 as Päivälehti, is one of the single most significant products of the group.

Divisions

The company consists of two divisions:

  • Sanoma Media: Magazine publishing, newspaper publishing, printing, TV, radio, online gaming services and other online operations. It was formed by the merger of former Sanoma Magazines, Sanoma News and Sanoma Entertainment divisions.
  • Sanoma Learning & Literature: Educational publishing, publishing, and business information and services
  • Previously, Sanoma had the Trade division which consisted of tasks including kiosk operations, press distribution, bookstores and entertainment.
