In the last few years, Stala has developed its selection and created innovative solutions for home interior design. The company holds as very strong market position in the Nordic countries, is the market leader in Finland, and its greatest growth potential is in the international market. Stala’s operations have always been guided by design, functionality and quality, which concerns the products, customer relations and operations. The Lahti factory manufactures sustainably products equipped with markings that prove their Finnish origin (Design from Finland and Key Flag). Earlier in the year, the patterned StalaTex™ stainless steel surfaces were awarded the internationally recognised Green GOOD DESIGN 2021 Award.
Pasi Härkönen, Factory Director at Stala, has been working for Stala since the late 1990s. Härkönen has been working in many positions within the company and has been responsible for the development of technology and production for over ten years.
“Becoming the Managing Director of Stala is a great honour for me. Stala has been part of me and my life for decades, which means that the company is like a second home to me. I have had the opportunity to grow as a professional together with the company and now I feel great about becoming Stala’s Managing Director. Our committed and competent personnel truly are the most important key to our success and we are proud to continue our story together with our amazing team. I regard Stala as a family, not just a company. Sustainable development has been one of our core values for decades, and this will remain true for the future as well,” says Pasi Härkönen, the future Managing Director of Stala.
The current Managing Director Pasi Kallio will leave the company from his own wish on 30 September 2021.
“For the last eight years, I have been one of the people controlling Stala’s commercial development and I can now say that recognition, customer satisfaction, profitability and sales are, as a whole, on record levels, alongside with many other new records. At the moment, sales have double-digit growth figures and I feel that I have completed my duty at Stala Oy and am happy to let others take more responsibility and continue the Stala success story. I leave Stala in good hands with confidence,” says Pasi Kallio, the current Managing Director of Stala.
