Makron has been a trusted development partner to industrial companies for five decades. To mark this milestone, we gathered together with invited guests at Malski in Lahti to celebrate a journey spanning half a century – and to look ahead to what comes next.

 

The evening began with an energetic drum performance by Takomo, setting the tone for the celebration. CEO and entrepreneur Johanna Vuopala warmly welcomed the guests and guided the audience into the spirit of the event. During the evening, we also premiered Makron’s new company video, offering a clear view of our story and future direction.

 

Mayor Niko Kyynäräinen brought greetings from the City of Lahti. Makron’s founder, Jalo Paananen, shared insights from the company’s early days and reflected on the current state of the Finnish economy.

 

The evening was hosted by Sanna Laitinen, who smoothly led the program forward. After dinner, the celebration culminated in an impressive performance by Jarkko Tamminen, bringing well-known public figures and artists to the stage through his dynamic show.

 

Beyond the program, the evening offered valuable opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen relationships with our customers and partners – people who are an essential part of Makron’s journey.

 

A warm thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening truly memorable. It was a pleasure to pause, celebrate shared achievements, and turn our focus toward the future together.
