Our story
Hellsten Flooring Ltd. Oy
The founder of our company, Erkki Hellsten, started his career at the age of 15 at a weaving mill in the mid-1950s. His long-term employer closed his business at Kokkola in 1979. However, Erkki could still see a lot of potential in the weaving business, so he bought some weaving machines from his employer and decided to establish his own company, Mattokutomo Hellsten Ky at Ilmajoki.
In the early years, the company concentrated on its trademark vinyl rugs, mainly for the Finnish market. In 1996, the product selection was complemented with the Tuuli flooring®, which was sold to customers all over the world. Soon after this, the company name took its current, more international form, Hellsten Flooring Ltd Oy.
Since the very beginning, the aim of Hellsten Flooring has been to provide its clients with comfort at home and in public spaces as well. The beautiful and resistant flooring is always designed with the end user experience in mind. To us, our clients are our partners, since we constantly engage in close and direct cooperation with them.
