The Roots of Kontio

Our company name, Kontio, comes from the Finnish word for bear. In Finnish folklore the bear is regarded as the strongest animal and it’s known as the King of Forest, commanding great respect from people.

Like the bear, Kontio has its roots deep in the natural forests of the north, close to the Arctic Circle. During the cold winters warm and durable log houses have been essential for survival. Here in Finland, log houses are a tradition that is thousands of years old.
