Karkkila

Karkkila is known for its versatile entrepreneurship, its metal industry and its strong industrial history. The Högfors ironworks was established in 1820 on the bank of the Karkkilankoski rapids in what is now the center of Karkkila, thus launching the era of industrialization in Karkkila. Still today, the town offers numerous opportunities for professionals and specialists from various fields. There are over 600 companies in Karkkila, and there is room for new ones as well. Smaller companies can often get to a good start in the slipstream of larger ones – for examples by acting as subcontractors.

Karkkila offers a wide variety of lots and premises suitable for various business activities. Business lots are inexpensive and situated near highway 2 (Pori–Helsinki), so they have good traffic connections. The Capital Region, Forssa, Riihimäki, Hyvinkää, Vihti and Lohja are all within 50 km. It takes about an hour to drive to the centre of Helsinki, to the harbours or to the airport.

Business lot sizes can be adjusted to meet a company’s needs in the city’s surveying and real estate office. If there is no suitable property owned by the city, we will help the customer find a suitable one on the private market.

Ready-to-use premises for production, service businesses and trading can be found both in Karkkila’s business district, located along the highway, and the Karkkila city centre. Over the decades, a wide variety of commercial premises have been built in the city centre. Along the Karjaanjoki River, in the centre of Karkkila, the traditional Högfors ironworks area offers ready-to-use production, office, restaurant and accommodation facilities as well as services related to these industries.

They are located on both sides of Finnish national road 2, approximately 1,5 km from Karkkila city centre’s junction towards Helsinki.
