to its geographical position and pleasant surroundings Hollola has developed into a
financially sound municipality with the population of 20 000. Modern services and long
history provide the firm basis of high-quality housing and profitable entrepreneurship. To
its inhabitants Hollola can offer a safe residential environment in the countryside, yet
near an urban area. Hollola wants to invest in high quality in the future, too, by
offering among other things high-quality sites for residential buildings.
The industrial area of Salpakangas, bordering on the city of Lahti, has
become one of the most significant industrial centres in this economic region. To build
premises on a gravelly area has also been profitable thanks to moderate initial costs. It
is easy for the enterprises to do business here with good connections and modern
surroundings. Moreover, there is an area of about 30 hectares ready for the companies in
the industrial area at Kukonkoivu, which is situated at the junction of the future
southern bypass. There are more than 1000 enterprises in Hollola, among them industrial
enterprises such as Vaahto Group Plc Oyj, Metso Paper Oy, Andritz Oy and engineering
offices such as Etteplan Oyj and Paavo Ristola Consulting Engineers Ltd.
