Otsovaara, North Karelia, Finland · since 1998
Löyly even a bear would approve.
Kiukaala is a family-owned company in North Karelia, Finland, making electric and wood-burning sauna heaters and sauna control units. The factory is in the village of Otsovaara ("Bear Hill"). About 65 people work for the company. Most heaters are sold in Finland, and a third go to Sweden, Germany and the United States.
Löyly is the Finnish word for the soft steam that rises when you throw water on the hot stones. It is the reason we build heaters.
