HistoryPiippo Oy cherishes the precious history of family-owned companies, which dates all the way back to 1942, when Matti Piippo established the company in the Tampere region. However, the roots of Manilla Oy, a company purchased by Piippo Oy, date back even further; it started operations in Turku in 1928. The company’s long history has brought about a strong craftsman’s attitude, which has ensured that the best practices acquired throughout the years have been transferred to the next gen-erations also after the company moved to Outokumpu in the early 1970s.
