Our cutting-edge production facilities and modern equipment, including CNC machines, ensure high-quality and accurate production in both furniture and subcontracting production.  Our efficiency, correct utilisation of materials and eco-friendly approach preserve nature. Our company is built on happy and competent staff with a service-minded attitude and ensures good well-being at work and the development of staff’s skills and approaches.

Our company has extensive and long experience in manufacturing special furniture. Proficient and helpful employees are an important part of our set of services, highly valued by our clients. Our strong expertise in materials and good collaboration skills with designers and architects guarantee success, also in large-scale and highly demanding projects. 

As high-quality results begin with planning, the manufacturer should be involved right from the start of a product’s or site’s design process. This ensures that we can provide the optimal structural and technical features. We’ll also be able to make correct and cost-effective choices on materials, and our client will get optimal results.

History

Kartanon Mittakaluste Oy is a company manufacturing fixed furniture for public spaces established by Lasse Tuppurainen in 1993.

The idea was to manufacture fixed furniture for public spaces and corporate clients based on architects’ drawings and other plans. As our clientele expanded and the company grew over the years, we have partnered with construction enterprises, industrial carpentry companies and many other companies in the furniture industry.

Kartanon Mittakaluste Oy began its operations in a small rented space on Kartanonkatu street. As the company embarked on a growth path, it became necessary to purchase the current facilities of around 2,100 m2 in 2002. Thanks to the company’s optimal spaces, modern machinery and competent staff, we can create even larger and more broad-based special furniture projects in collaboration with our clients.

The company was subject to an intergenerational transfer of business in autumn 2019. At this point, Petri Pääkkönen, a furniture industry professional, took charge of Kartanon Mittakaluste as a result of an asset deal, allowing Lasse and Irene Tuppurainen to start their well-earned retirement. The company’s operations continue and keep developing thanks to new, fresh ideas on furniture manufacturing. The aim is to keep developing the activities and maintain the company’s high quality and reputation as well as to preserve wood industry expertise in the Savo region in the future.
