Values

Four things we don't compromise on

Customer focus

One contact who knows your site. No email chains between three suppliers.

Trust

Deadlines hold, invoices match quotes. You don't get to 70 years any other way.

Local presence

We know northern sites, weather and municipalities. Our installation team works from our own house.

Production capacity

Design, print and large format from the same house. The secret behind our speed.

ClimateCalc certificate – Pohjolan Palvelut Oy
Responsibility

Print production with measured emissions

We are a ClimateCalc-certified print house. The carbon footprint of every print job is calculated and offset. Not for marketing purposes. Because it belongs as part of production.

We use PEFC- and FSC-certified papers and recycle production waste close by. In Oulu and Rovaniemi.
