4.9.2026

Junttan has been awarded the Kunnian Kukko Internationalization Award by the Kuopio Region Chamber of Commerce in recognition of the company’s long-term commitment and success in international markets.

The recognition comes during a significant year for Junttan as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. From our beginnings in Kuopio, Finland, in 1976, Junttan has grown into a global provider of piling equipment and solutions, with approximately 95% of our business today coming from exports.

While we are proud of what has been achieved over the past five decades, our focus remains firmly on the future. Our ambition is to continue profitable international growth, broaden our product portfolio and further strengthen Junttan’s position as a technology leader in the global piling industry.

At the same time, our roots remain firmly in Kuopio. Our headquarters and manufacturing operations in Finland continue to play an important role in our international success, combining decades of piling expertise with continuous product development and innovation.

International growth takes the right attitude

The Kunnian Kukko Internationalization Award recognizes Junttan’s long-term work in international markets and highlights the importance of internationally growing companies to the Kuopio and North Savo region.

“We are very honored to receive this recognition, especially during Junttan’s 50th anniversary year. International markets have been an essential part of our journey for decades, and they will continue to play a key role in our future growth,” says Tommi Lehtonen, CEO of Junttan.

In a recent article by the Kuopio Region Chamber of Commerce, Junttan CEO Tommi Lehtonen and COO Satu Marjo discuss Junttan’s growth ambitions, international business and the expertise needed for the future. They also share their views on what Kuopio and North Savo need to support the continued growth and competitiveness of industrial companies in the region.

We would like to thank the Kuopio Region Chamber of Commerce for this wonderful recognition and for highlighting international growth stories from our region.
