Pines grown in the north are famous for their durability. Iivari Mononen from Ilomantsi also knew this, and after the wars he started exporting sturdy electric and lighting poles to the world. Iivari Mononen began his career in small-scale sawmilling. Soon, operations expanded into the trade in heavier timber. Iivar had a reputation as a reliable trading partner among both forest owners and timber buyers. Top quality pine and honesty in trade laid the foundation for success and sustainable partnerships worldwide. “It’s not Iivar cheating on anyone,” said many who knew him. Today, the Iivari Mononen Group is piloted by the third generation of the family. The nature and values of the family business have been preserved in the growing company through the decades. Uncomplicatedness, fairness and open-mindedness focus on everyday activities. The company, born of Iivar's breadfruit, employs more than 200 people in four countries and has exported to 62 countries over the years. Perheyhtiön luonne ja arvot ovat säilyneet kasvavassa yrityksessä läpi vuosikymmenien. Moni asia on muuttunut yhtiössä sitten Iivarin aikojen. Nykyisin puunhankintaa ja puukauppaa hoitavan Scanpolen toimipisteitä, kyllästämöjä ja varastoja sijaitsee Suomen lisäksi Ruotsissa, Norjassa ja Isossa-Britanniassa. Taidolla kyllästetyt pylväät turvaavat sähkön -ja tiedonsiirtoa etenkin haastavissa olosuhteissa. Osana yhtiötä on myös brittiläinen Burt Boulton & Haywood, jonka aitapylväät ovat tunnettuja saarivaltion maaseudulla. The producer and seller of impregnated wood, PrimaTimber, knows that wood belongs to the Finnish summer and way of life. In the summer, bare feet run on the pier and the laughter of the children subsides between the swimming jumps. On the terrace you can enjoy good food with friends by the barbecue. However, the boarding of piers and terraces would not last in our climate without protection. PrimaTimber's products are an integral part of Finnish construction. Our modern society is rapidly paralyzing without power and connections. That is why Exsane Oy's expertise always extends from the design of infrastructure networks to their construction and maintenance. When the storm breaks connections, or when challenging regions need a new infrastructure network, Exsane's experts are involved in any weather. One of the stories in our forests belongs to Iivari Monose. It is known all the way to the Sahara Desert. It grows and continues. ClearRead more
