Season’s Greetings and availability throughout Christmas and New Year

18.12.2023

As the holiday season approaches, it’s time to unwind and enjoy the company of our loved ones. Instead of giving gifts, we donated to Mieli Mental Health Finland and the Christmas Spirit Campaign in the true spirit of the season. Additionally, our employees actively participated in the Joulupuu campaign to support children and young people.

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for your trust and partnership throughout the past year. We look forward to another successful year ahead!

We wish you a warm and joyful holiday season!
