Tokmanni Group is a variety discount retailer in the Nordics. The group has stores in Finland, Sweden and Denmark under the brand names Tokmanni, Dollarstore, Big Dollar, Click Shoes and Miny. In addition, Tokmanni has online stores. Tokmanni's headquarter and logistics centres are located in Mäntsälä, Finland. Dollarstore is headquartered in Kista, Stockholm with a central warehouse in Örebro. The group own a procurement company located in Shanghai together with a Norwegian discount store chain Europris.

The appointment seems like a temporary and internal arrangement rather than a selection based on procurement expertise. In the current market situation, the role of Purchasing and Sourcing Director is critical for Tokmanni and requires at least the same level of expertise and experience as the predecessor. One would expect to find a person for such a role who has a clear and deep background in managing procurement and purchasing operations. While internal company experience has its advantages, the track record of the strategy and development function hasn’t been very convincing (yet?), at least from the market’s perspective. Clear focus is needed on exactly these types of decisions if they want to see a turnaround in performance.

I suppose this is just a temporary kicking of the can down the road. The new CEO will get to influence the selection of the new head of procurement and purchasing right after the break.

Even executive appointments don’t seem to be attracting any attention. But:                   Tärkeimmät talousuutiset | Kauppalehti – 30 Jan 26              Janne Pihkala nousee Tokmannin johtoryhmään    Janne Pihkala on nimitetty Tokmannin hankinta- ja ostojohtajaksi.                             ”Janne Pihkala has been appointed as the Sourcing and Purchasing Director of the Tokmanni Group and a member of the Executive Management Team. He will start in his position on February 1, 2026. Pihkala will replace the current Sourcing and Purchasing Director Juha Valtonen, who is leaving the company as previously announced. Janne Pihkala has served as the Tokmanni Group’s Strategy and Development Director and a member of the Executive Management Team since 2018. Previously, Pihkala worked as an investment manager at Takoa Invest, among other positions.” In my opinion, it seems like a bit of a lightweight choice considering the career history related to the role. Hopefully, sourcing and purchasing will be mastered more successfully than Tokmanni’s strategy and development have been in recent years.

Ilta-Sanomat – 29 Jan 26              Yllättävä tieto: Saivatko suomalaiset tarpeekseen Kiina-kaupoista?    Onko buumin loppu käsillä?                             Possibly good news for Tokmanni: “Only just under six percent of Finns intend to shift their shopping to Asian discount stores. Meanwhile, the share of those switching to local discount stores is over nine percent.” The study was conducted at the end of December 2025, and 1,000 Finns responded to it.

Exactly, meaning that the weakened dollar should provide some benefit to the gross margin. Tokmanni hedges about half of its USD-denominated purchases 6 months ahead, so the impact will come with a slight delay. From what I understand, all Asian imports are purchased in USD. The [Swedish] krona provides a benefit starting right from the top line. Most of the expenses are also denominated in kronas, so the impact should remain roughly the same at the operating profit level as well. The company hasn’t hedged this currency risk at all, at least up to this point.

This is just a completely standalone comment, but I wonder if currency exchange rates are providing some tailwind for Tokmanni? From the annual report: “The most significant foreign currencies for the Group are the US Dollar (USD) and the Swedish Krona (SEK). The US Dollar is the Tokmanni Group’s most significant non-euro-denominated procurement currency. The significance of the Swedish Krona stems from business operations conducted in the home currency of the acquired subsidiary.” The dollar is at its weakest level in years and the krona has strengthened against the euro, so it should be a good combo for Tokmanni?

Europris’s ÖoB concept is showing signs of improvement in Sweden. ÖoB’s Q4 like-for-like growth in local currency was 4% (less than one percent for the full year). Customer numbers were slightly down, so growth has come through an increase in the average spend. According to management, they were particularly successful with campaigning during Q4. Similar to Dollarstore, ÖoB is undergoing a concept change led by Europris. The concept change will continue into 2026-27. They do not believe that the 2026 result will improve in Sweden, as any other operational improvement will largely go toward covering the increased costs of the concept change. An improvement in results is expected in 2027.            mb.cision.com              bd20fac9c19071dc.pdf    1999.42 KB
