COMPANY FACILITIES AND PLOTS

The Puhos industrial area has good public utility services and logistics alternatives (deep-water harbour 500 metres from the area, industrial railway, parking).

There are nearly 30,000 square metres of production and company facilities available. The area also offers plots for company use. The buildings of  Koivikon tila, located in the vicinity of the area, provide more space for companies for the further upgrading of foodstuffs and natural products.

The Puhos area includes several production companies: surface material manufacturer Surfactor Finland Oy and resin factory Hexion Oy. Operation of the Stora Enso Kitee sawmill ended at the end of 2019, so the area is looking for new industries.
