filleting process The product will be available to restaurants and food service companies in several markets KARKKILA (25th September 2024) – Finnish food technology company Hailia will start manufacturing food products from salmon sidestreams provided by fish processing company Hätälä Hailia’s technology turns the parts of the fish left on the filleting table into a tasty and easy-to-use raw material for the food industry the partnership further improves sustainability in the fish processing industry and responds to a growing global demand for seafood products Hätälä manufactures fish products for retail improving the environmental footprint and recyclability of its packaging materials and by introducing sensor technology to help reduce the water and electricity consumption of their operations the utilization rate of Norwegian salmon can be brought to a new level with more than 90% of the salmon used for human food this can be a significant boost to profitability to an industry that struggles with declining quotas and increasing environmental obligations while demand for seafood grows steadily “With Hailia’s innovative technology a bigger part of the fish can be used to create nutritious Sustainability guides all our operations at Hätälä and we want to promote sustainable development in the entire aquaculture industry As a fourth generation family-owned company but at the same time we welcome new circular solutions and resource-wise processes,” says Veikko Leinonen Fish products produced with Hailia’s technology have raised significant interest which differs from other products made from sidestreams The mouth feel resembles that of cooked fish fillet salads or sandwiches without additional treatment and affordable seafood is interesting to consumers as well as the restaurant and food service industry the salmon products made from sidestreams are suitable for many different kinds of foods which makes them attractive to constantly busy restaurant kitchens I believe that the products will be successful in multiple markets,” says Petri Tiikkala Sales Manager at Hätälä.  Hailia mainly manufactured food products out of small pelagics the company decided to change its strategy and focus on commercializing its proprietary technology towards the salmon- and whitefish industry The growing demand for Hailia technology has led to the company raising growth funding during the final quarter of this year “We are very proud to have Hätälä one of the market leaders in Finland and an internationally known company trust our concept and be the first company to offer its customers a raw material made from the sidestreams from Norwegian salmon Sustainability has become more and more important in the industry and we are actively negotiating with foreign fish processing companies about the licensing of our technology and it has proved that our new strategy was the right choice,” says Michaela Lindström Hailia won the World Food Innovation Award for best technology and the company was listed as one of the 30 most interesting circular economy solutions for nature by the World Circular Economy Forum About Hätälä Oy - Fair

kilometres from Helsinki in the small town of Karkkila city councillors and other decision-makers have gone back and forth on the issue of street lighting at night put forward a motion to keep the street lights on at night Their motion was based on the idea that the cost (and pain) of people stumbling in the dark and needing hospital care would be expensive and potentially more costly than the measured savings of turning street lights off at night According to Karkkila’s technical director Ahti Huhtaniska Yet the city board and the municipality disagreed the town council decided to overturn restrictions regarding turning on the street lights at night And now street lighting is on at night again — at least temporarily Now Huhtaniska is proposing restrictions on the lights in the middle of the night and turning them off in the summer for cost savings The sum that will be saved: 30,000 euros a year Many municipalities are looking to technology to help bring down the cost of street

Image: Helsingin poliisiYle News20.6.2019 17:30A special team of Helsinki police investigators suspect eight individuals of illegally importing wolves to Finland in order to breed wolf-dog hybrids. The preliminary investigation is nearly complete and the case, which currently involves a total of twelve criminal charges, is expected to go to court later this summer. The charges include aggravated animal welfare endangerment, animal endangerment and eight counts of nature conservation crimes, as well as two counts of illegal animal importation. It is illegal to import wolves and wolf-dog hybrids into Finland. Police said the crimes were carried out between June 2016 and January of this year in the municipalities of Loppi, Orimattila, Karkkila, which are in southern Finland, as well as Vaalimaa, a border crossing point to Russia. A total of eight people are suspects in the case but police said the main suspect was raising hybrid wolf-dogs in Loppi, which is about 90 km north of Helsinki. The case is being investigated by a Helsinki-based police team which specialises in animal protection related crimes, a group which was established last autumn. Around the end of last year, officials became aware of an individual who had a wolf at home in Karikkila, which is roughly 70 km north-west of the capital. Open image viewerTwo animals found by investigators in Karkkila. Image: Helsingin poliisiDuring the preliminary investigation, the team learned that four wolves had been brought into the country from Russia and transported to the main suspect's farm in Loppi. A total of 64 animals, including hybrid wolf-dogs, were found on the main suspect's property in Loppi. Police said one of the wolves were taken to Karkkila while two others were moved to a hiding place in Orimattila, due to an animal safety check that authorities carried out at the main suspect's farm. However, police carried out searches of all three of the locations simultaneously, along with the help from veterinarians. One animal found in Karkkila turned out to be a purebred Northern European wolf. Police found two other wolves in Orimattila, inside an unlit sauna building in the yard. Officials said the sauna smelled of faeces and urine and that the animals did not have access to water or food. Police said 30 animals were euthanised during the preliminary investigation.

The prosecutor told the court on Tuesday that one of the messages the defendant shared included a police photo of a suicide victim. It was allegedly sent to a group called the Vihdin-Karkkilan suojeluskunta (roughly translated as the Vihti-Karkkila Civil Guard, a reference to an area in the Uusimaa region and to the White Guard militias that operated between 1918 and 1944). Police stated in 2021 that the Vihti-Karkkila Civil Guard was a racist group with a hierarchy and operational procedures. Its members included police officers as well as others in the security sector. In relation to the charge of violation of official duty, the prosecutor told the court the defendant had kept his service weapon at home during his annual leave without the permission of his employer. His defence attorney told the court that he admitted sending messages to the WhatsApp groups, but argued he had a reason to do so — saying the defendant believed that sharing the information with other members of the group was intended to highlight matters that were pertinent to the activities of the group members in their own professions. "It was a matter of exchanging information between people in the security sector. It is the 'way of the world'," the defence lawyer said, adding that the image of the suicide victim was sent "by accident".

planning to hire 100 new employees in line with the Jyväskylä addition Open image viewerPhoto from the Moventas plant in Karkkila a manufacturer of wind turbine gearboxes in central Finland has decided to expand its wind gearbox assembly and testing capacity in Jyväskylä to the tune of 17 million euros The addition will help the company meet rising demand for turbine parts as it is expected to be up and running in one year’s time “Our R&D investments over the last couple years are bearing fruit We’ve got a great new product that has gained a terrific reception meaning that we have seen a flood of new orders and new customers,” says Moventas’ CEO Arto Lahtela Lahtela refers to Moventas’ Exceed series gearbox designed with 20 percent more torque density while still being ten percent smaller The new technology has been proven to lower the life cycle cost of wind power and the equivalent of one billions watts’ worth of the Exceed gearboxes have been delivered to three customers in five continents over the past year This good news is welcome after years of financial difficulties at the company that forced management to downsize and lay-off staff “Now we can finally invest in production and create some new jobs We’ve got a constant search out for skilled new employees in several areas,” Lahtela told Yle Moventas plans to employ 35 new workers yet this year The plant in Jyväskylä is now the workplace of 350 people “A significant investment in high-tech industry is always excellent news,” says Jyväskylä’s Mayor Timo Koivisto ”It speaks volumes about Moventas’ competitiveness but it also shows how quickly the city of Jyväskylä can respond to such things.” Moventas was acquired by the global industrial engineering firm Clyde Blowers All of the products manufactured at Moventas are currently exported with the largest market for the wind power gearboxes centred in India and the Americas Finland – Friends and members of the Kenyan community in Finland
