History

History

The responsibility of Luppo's operations can be seen in the revival of old facilities.

We are located in the 150-year-old red brick factory hall of Oy Forssa Ab, where fabric was printed until the 1960s. The Forssa spinning mill founded by Axel Wilhelm Wahren in 1847 expanded its activities from yarn spinning to weaving and finally to pattern design and printing, changing over time to Forssa companies and later under the name of Finlayson when the company was sold to Finlayson and merged with the Tampere operation. Luppo's premises served as a finishing hall. The factory premises at Luppo were rebuilt after the large factory fire that raged in Kutomo in 1877.

The room height in the premises is almost five meters, the windows are four meters and the walls are half a meter thick. The exterior of the buildings is red brick, the interiors were painted in calming green and light brown tones when we decorated Luppo's premises in the summer of 2021.

As Luppo's predecessor, the private care home Pumpuli operated in the premises for several years, and since then our premises are Barrier-free and in the same model as today.

It is said that Luppo is haunted. It is said that someone has been moving around the premises, dropping bundles of cloth from the shelves. Come find out for yourself if this ghost story is true.

Story of Luppo

Story of Luppo

Luppo story has deep roots. 

Both entrepreneurs have their own decades-long work history and story. The world collided these two separate stories together on a day in May and we realized that with this shared experience base we would achieve something unique. This opportunity could not be missed.

Humans are part of nature and our connection with nature has not disappeared, but the basis for well-being is physical understanding and action in addition to spirituality. For this, we have understood that by combining our professional skills, we can achieve social influence and contribute to life management and a good life.

Luppo's story does not depend on us alone, but we also need you to make it possible. In order for the Luppo wellness concept to come to life, we need your story to be part of us.

The years of growth have cultivated around us a strong network of dedicated and passionate experts in their fields. In addition to our own expertise, we use these networks in our everyday work to provide you with the best possible Luppo experience.
