Our history in short

The factory was founded in 1922 by businessman Kustaa Vuolle-Apiala. For decades, the factory produced a variety of felt footwear and a wide range of industrial blankets. Even the famous Marshal Mannerheim’s felt boots were made in Koskenpää.

Production of construction tapes started in the 1970s. The modern polypropylene log sealant (KH sealing strip) was developed and manufactured at the Koskenpää felt factory and became the factory’s main product in the 1990s.

The factory has since moved from being a felt manufacturer to an importer, and its range of felts includes both traditional industrial machine-made felts and coloured wool felts for designers, furniture makers and craftsmen. High-quality central European felt manufacturers are the best suited to meet today’s many quality requirements. A wide range of felts for all purposes.

The Koskenpää Felt Factory also offers felting wool, familiar to many craft enthusiasts. Domestic sheep’s wool is dyed according to a colour chart created by textile artist Maisa Tikkanen. Needles and trays for felting are also available.

The felt mill often supports the careers of young designers and artisans through various theses and projects.
