Hardwood floors with roots

One could contend that Karelia hardwood floors saw its origins as early as the 1530s, as the Väänänen family settled in Eastern Finland, in the heart of Savo, in order to cultivate land. Passed on from these times to the future generations of this family was a legacy entailing respect for the land and forests as well as resilient entrepreneurship and uncompromising integrity. These same values can still be witnessed in the actions of the founder of Karelia, Heikki Väänänen.

Promises will be kept - this is a matter of personal pride for Heikki Väänänen.

The growth of Karelia from a family business in Savo to an international trailblazer represents a policy of steady steps. In the new millennium the company's investments have risen to a new level and, simultaneously, another family of entrepreneurs, the Hartwalls, have joined the Väänänens as owners of Karelia. These two families have shared values and an unassailable trust and respect for their personnel. Thus, Karelia looks to the future with confidence.

In accordance with its founder's principles, Karelia proudly manufactures high-quality Finnish hardwood floors for spaces both small and large. Luxury hotels in Moscow, the Helsinki Opera House and various design homes all over Europe have selected Karelia for their parquet flooring, thus confirming an appreciation for high-quality materials, top Finnish workmanship and the honesty that pervades all of the company's activities.

Promises will be kept.
