SOME START-UPS GET GOING IN GARAGES, WE STARTED IN A BARN IN THE 60'S.
Six decades ago, there was a match factory in the stone barn next to Poitsila Manor in Hamina, Finland, but as the demand for Finnish made matches faded in the 1970s, something else had to be made. That something was printed forms, we were a printing house, ever-changing with the times.
The 1990s was a tough time in Finland with a deep recession. However, we invested in new technology. Our CEO Mauri Reinilä joined, and in no time, we were one of the first players in the world using digital printing technology.
In the early 2000s, Mauri called Reino Uusitalo, founder of Pyroll Group. Half an hour later, Mauri and Reino sat at the same table discussing the packaging industry's future and how digitalisation can link packaging to services. Shortly after the first meeting, Reino became a shareholder, and later, PackageMedia joined the Pyroll family.
Our mission is to support customers engage consumers, and drive revenue where digital meets physical, all with a big heart. This is PackageMedia.
