Best-Hall was founded in 1975. To date, we have already delivered more than 5,500 buildings in Finland and abroad. Initially, we only delivered buildings with fabric covers, but in 2010, we expanded our expertise to include steel-framed buildings. Thus, our operations consist of three distinct business areas: fabric-covered buildings, traditional buildings and maintenance services. Our yearly turnover is about 50 meur and we employ about 140 people.
In addition to our headquarters in Kälviä in Central Ostrobothnia, our company has a branch office in Porvoo, where the management of our traditional building unit is performed.
In 1997, Best-Hall Oy became part of the Wiklöf Group, the most important principle of which is to keep jobs in Finland and export products using its own expertise.
The strategic focus of the export is in Europe, where we have sales representative in 10 countries and halls have been built in about 60 countries. Important markets include for example France, the Benelux countries, Norway, Austria and the British Isles.There is also potential in Ukraine in the future.
