HISTORY Johan Nurminen started the family business with a long business tradition in 1886 by establishing a colony, timber and ship equipment store in Rauma. Later, the company's operations expanded to the shipping business and forwarding. The first own ship, Uljas, was completed in 1891. Liiketoiminnan kansainvälistyttyä pääkonttori muutti Raumalta Helsinkiin. Yhtiön varustamotoiminta oli laajimmillaan 1950-luvun lopussa, jonka jälkeen varustamotoiminnan merkitys väheni, ja voimavaroja alettiin keskittää kansainväliseen huolintaan sekä kuljetuksiin. Vuonna 1964 John Nurminen aloitti toiminnan Suomen ensimmäisenä lentorahtihuolitsijana Helsingin lentoasemalla. Samoihin aikoihin yhtiö rakensi ensimmäisen oman varastorakennuksensa Helsingin Länsi-Satamaan. Vuonna 1967 viimeiset Nurmisen aluksista, Pirkko Nurminen ja Inkeri Nurminen, myytiin. The company expanded its operations in international forwarding during the 1980s and 1990s. In 1995, the company gradually began to move away from traditional forwarding and focused on special logistics. The company grew in the 21st century through acquisitions in the Baltic Sea region. MatkaKaleva, which was Finland's largest private business travel agency, also operated in the John Nurminen Group for a long time. MatkaKaleva 's business was sold in 2001. On January 1, 2008, John Nurminen Oy was divided into two companies, Nurminen Logistics Plc and the new John Nurminen Oy. Nurminen Logistics, which was listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange on 1 January 2008, transferred from the former John Nurminen Oy's business units Railway Information Operations, goods handling, value-added services, customs clearance services, special and heavy transport and care logistics. John Nurminen hyödyntää nykyisinkin pitkää liiketoimintahistoriaansa ja yrittäjyysläheistä arvomaailmansa sekä tytäryrityksiensä hallinnoinnissa että pääomasijoitustoiminnassaan. Kuunarilaiva Uljas oli John Nurmisen ensimmäinen oma alus.
