The Company
OIP-TUOTE OY is a 17 years old importing and wholesales company based in Helsinki, Finland.
We specialize in sporting and camping articles but also other leisure related goods such as
clothing and garden furniture are included in our product category. For almost two decades we have
managed to maintain a steady growth in the highly competitive sports and camping markets of Finland.
The present managing director Olli Perälä founded the company. The values and opinions of Mr. Perälä
are highly reflected into actions of OIP-TUOTE OY. These traditional values such as honesty, loyalty to
customers, and hard working combined with the dynamic and innovative personnel allow us to provide our
customers with just the merchandise they require - quickly, efficiently, and for a good price.
Business Partners and Brands
The customers of OIP-TUOTE OY are numerous. The biggest customers include Kesko, Neste, SOK, and EKA,
which are the main wholesale companies in Finland. We also do good business with many independent retail stores.
In whole, most of Finland is covered by our sales net, which our sales agents strengthen.
Many of the customers are also located in the Baltic countries and we have good two-way connections with
Estonian and Latvian companies.
The suppliers of OIP-TUOTE OY include manufacturing companies and trade houses from the Far East, USA,
and European countries such as Italy, Holland, and Portugal. We are the sole representatives of several
world known brands like Freetime and Monterra
(camping, leisure) by Borsumij Group, JB (petanque), and
Aerogo (bicycling helmets and accessories)
in Finland. Other brands include Gold Cup, McSailor, and Salvas.
We see our good relationships with customers, suppliers, and other business partners as the most important
resource of the company.
Market and Performance
The market in Finland is highly competitive and focused. With a population of only 5.2 million
and the economy still recovering from a depression we were actually quite satisfied with gross
sales near USD 5 million in 1996.
We have a strong belief in the Finnish market for leisure oriented goods. The Finns are known to
enjoy their free time with full heart and also to demand good quality and performance from their
leisure accessories.
Other interesting markets we serve are the ones in the Baltic countries. These are developing
fast and having more purchasing power every year. We have good connections in Estonia and Latvia
and plan to continue making good business there.
