In Finland we take it for granted that food is made with high quality and of clean ingredients. The Finnish food and beverage manufacturers have been forerunners in developing pland-based products, and innovating lactose-free, gluten-free and dairy-free products. Finns have a creative mind and we often find unconventional solutions for needs of tomorrow.

Finns have a creative mind, and we often find unconventional solutions for the needs of tomorrow. For example, successful start-ups are creating new plant-based products and exploring the usage of insects in food production. Even grain grows here a bit differently. Short but intensive summer with light nights means high enzyme activity in malting barley used in scotch and beer. The highest quality oats with large grain sizes are used in many food products as an alternative to meat. And even the cold climate works for us – fewer pesticides are needed in cultivation.
Even though the Helsinki Ring of Industry region is located just outside the capital area of Finland, all the treasures of nature are close. As the most forested country in Europe, Finland has unique forest berries and mushrooms, and they are easy to transport even from the North.

Besides that, we have great amounts of clean groundwater to use.
