About Us
Family Business Operates Wholesale Business for Six Decades
Palojoki is focused on three specialized areas: 1) design of ready-made clothing collections & household textiles, importing and wholesaling, 2) design and manufacture of promotional products and 3) property operations.
The corporation has a long and pioneering history as a developer of the wholesale trade. Already at the beginning of the 60-year history the company has invested in good relations with its importing countries. Importing started with its main import country of China at the beginning of the 1960s. Good customer relations and cooperation with national retail chains have always been the backbone of the company.
The corporation has grown into its current dimensions with decades of consistent work. Now corporate revenues have broken the 20 million euro record. The company employs a staff of 85 and utilizes its own 5000 square metre terminal.
Operations were further strengthened by the acquisition of the promotional products company Seripa in 2002. During restructuring in 2005 daughter companies and T.M. Palojoki merged. With the 2006 acquisitions Maurix and Sanser companies were added to the business portfolio.
In addition to its own design office, the corporation has both domestic and international production. China is the most important country for purchasing; however importing countries also include India, Estonia, and Portugal.
Ethical Business
We operate an ethical and responsible importing business based on a sustainable foundation. We belong to the Association of Textile and Footwear Importers and Wholesalers which in 1998 introduced the anti-child labour recommendation.
Key Position in Logistics
Our company is a pioneer in the Finnish wholesale trade. Our own importing, accuracy in logistics, and our own production in Finland and abroad guarantees rapid delivery times. A broad supplier network provides solid support.
Businesses take advantage of precise ordering and seldom carry any inventory themselves. Our own 5000 square metre terminal is a critical component of our services.
Taking on increasing importance is our strength in electronic commerce and the development of ordering and billing systems.
Design Service Offers Competitive Advantage To Companies
Product design is a core competency of the Palojoki Group. We create image products for our enterprise customers that strongly reflect their company personalities. Distinctiveness is also a competitive advantage.
In designing, we consider trends and put heavy emphasis on the distinctive presence of a company or event – innovatively in the spirit of the times. A strategic direction of our company is to focus increasingly on product design and customization of entire collections that can be fulfilled with our own production.
Well-Knit Cooperation is Rewarding
A designer often participates in the initial phases of a project.
In this way many unnecessary sketches are avoided and the project progresses smoothly and stays on schedule. Depending on the order, a product or collection can be prepared quite quickly and sometimes the search for a common note takes a bit longer – in the end it is always found!
In addition to enterprise clothing and other promotional products, we offer solutions to the challenges of electronic commerce. Additional services are offered if required and upon request.
