Chief of Export to Linkosuo Oy

Linkosuo Oy manages both the overall solutions and creates the large-scale operational strategies of the bakery and café operations. Throughout its history, strong, innovative development work and courage of entrepreneurship have been the key factors in the operations of Linkosuo – and this is as true today as it ever was.

Linkosuo entered the international market already halfway through the 1970s with the small and crispy rye product Väinämöinen Rye Buttons, followed by, in accordance with the new strategy, Rye Crisps in 2009 and Rye Chips in 2016, the two of which can be called genuine success stories. Little by little, Linkosuo has become an expert on crispy bread products, focussing more and more on exports.
