The most refined experience with a wide product range

Pohjolan Peruna is the first Finnish industrial manufacturer of potato products, whose operations began in Northern Ostrobothnia in 1962. The potatoes come from local contract farmers, as they have come for over 60 years. The collaboration has continued with many farmers for several years and even decades, spanning generations.

Passion for development

The preparation process and quality levels of our products are controlled carefully at all steps. Our R&D is continuously looking for new varieties of potato and production techniques which will enable us to continuously enhance our ranges of existing products as well as to develop new products, in accordance with the changing needs of our customers.
