Have you ever wondered what the inspiration for our innovative solution: Koepala's Aterimo was?
Our founder Janne Asikainen had the idea when he tried to solve a personal challenge: trying to create a foldable pulkka (a type of Finnish winter sled) to go sleigh-riding. It is true that creativity can come from everyday activities.

It has been almost 5 years from having the idea to taking the courage to develop the solution that is solving a global challenge: the ever-urbanizing future of takeaway food. It has not been an easy journey yet we believe it's a purposeful one, find out more in the post below.

Thank FoodTechies Finland for featuring our worth telling story.
