In 2015, the entrepreneur’s baton was changed from Kyösti Svala to Onerva Aakko, who returned to the region with her family. She had been living in the South of Finland for twenty years where she gained valuable experience in various tasks in the textile industry, and Finnsvala Oy was an opportunity that could not be missed.
The product innovations that had been the making of the company, was retained, but the working environment changed: a new factory was completed in Kärsämäki in 2018. At the same time, an Outlet store was opened at the factory. The tradition created by the Svala family continues, and people from around the world are now able to enjoy the quality of Finnish crafts through our international expansion programme.
