Little Finlandia shows the way in the circular economy
Thank you, customers!
Metsä Fibre’s latest customer satisfaction survey was conducted in the spring of 2022 in the Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Americas sales areas. We would like to thank our sawn timber customers for their active participation. We will, of course, continue to develop our operations.
Little Finlandia is a pavilion-like building in Helsinki that provides temporary facilities during the renovation of the adjacent congress and event venue Finlandia Hall, designed by architect Alvar Aalto . A superb example of wood architecture, Little Finlandia is a joint project of the City of Helsinki, Finlandia Hall, Aalto University and FM-Haus. Its elements are built with Metsä Wood’s Kerto® LVL products. In terms of construction, Little Finlandia is made of portable and reusable wooden modules, thus complying with the principles of sustainability and the circular economy. The debarked pine trunks that serve as supporting pillars are a very distinctive feature of the building. After Finlandia Hall’s renovation, Little Finlandia can be moved to a new place and given a new function, such as a day-care centre or school building.

Berlin builds 32 wooden schools
The City of Berlin in Germany will construct 32 three- storey wooden schools by 2025. The buildings will be made from prefabricated wooden modules that speed up construction work. GLVL beams, made from Metsä Wood’s Kerto LVL®, are stronger than steel and will be used for the joints.
