Company background
Martela Oyj was founded in 1945 in Helsinki, Finland, originally under the name Tehokaluste Oy, by Matti S. Martela together with co-founders Henrik Virkkunen, Unto Eskola, Jonne Jahnukainen, Svante Nurmiranta and Wladimir Rumjantsew. The company remains headquartered in Helsinki and is publicly traded on Nasdaq Helsinki under ticker MARAS, while still described as family-controlled. For fiscal 2024, Martela reported turnover of €86.7 million and an average of 372 employees. Reference sources describe Martela as the largest office furniture company in Finland and among the three largest in the Nordic region, a position traced in part to an early bulk order of 100 writing desks from the Finnish government that established a long relationship with the country’s central procurement unit.
