Sula Research Oy is a research and development company founded in 2025 that designs patentable products, IT applications and automation systems for Sula Forest Oy. Sula Forest Oy is a patent company that sells the rights to its patents. Sula Forest Oy is a startup company founded in 2024 that is funded by its owners. Sula Forest's saw timber products have been the subject of years of research and development under the leadership of Marko Korhonen in a previous company owned by Marko, whose shares Marko sold in 2019. We have conducted trial sales of Sula's products and tested markets in Finland and abroad. Overall, a huge amount of work and capital has been invested in the development of Sula's current concept between 2011 and 2025. Investments have been made of approximately 1.2 million euros. The products and their features consist of numerous details that make forestry work more efficient. Each of Sula's products and service models is suitable for both domestic and international markets. The service model is scalable.
Sula Forest has several patents related to sawing equipment and new patents will be completed in the future as research and product development progresses. All patents are tested, researched and developed in practical forestry work before applying for patents. The company has registered trademark protection for its products and services. The company has invested heavily in researching and resolving IPR issues. An experienced attorney and patent attorney is dedicated to handling IPR issues.
All our products and services are designed and manufactured in Finland. Robotic systems, in the assembly of components, enable the company to be price competitive also in international markets. The company uses the MADE IN FINLAND brand.
Sula's companies specialize in sawmill equipment and the company has developed a new system for cutting wood. The renewed product group includes saw bar, drive wheels, saw chains, fastening accessories, and storage and logistics products. All Sula products are cost-effectively serviceable, and the company offers its customers a comprehensive service for its own products, delivered to their doorstep. Customers can easily obtain all products and services by ordering them from the www.sulaforest.fi online store. As additional products, we offer sawmill lubricants and wood marking paints. The lubrication and marking paint containers are recyclable and refillable, and each Sula product includes a cash deposit, which is always returned to the customer when the products are returned for maintenance. Marko Korhonen has tested the concept in 2017-2019 and the concept has been found to be functional and profitable. The company's business growth is expected to occur first in Finland, and when a sufficient customer segment has been reached in Finland, we will direct the company's operations to international markets. We have also tested and validated the functionality of our products and services internationally. In international markets, we pay attention to the small details that we need to refine according to the market.
The company's owners have decades of entrepreneurial background in the industry in which Sula specializes. There is a clear need for Sula's products in the market. The products are supplies that are used in daily forestry work and that everyone needs when working in the forest. Sula Forest Oy owns the patents and all IPR rights for the products. Sula Research Oy develops the products and production lines. Sula Forest Oy pays Research a contractual fee for the development work. As an investor, you will gain ownership of the patent company and the product development company and will also be involved in other Sula subsidiaries in the future. The return on investment (ROI) is also good in the long term.
Finance is used as a tool in the development of ecological solutions. In our services and products, we invest in technology and innovations that concretely save nature and make daily work routines in the forest more efficient. Every detail we offer has a clear financial benefit for the customer. By investing money in the growth of Sula companies, you, as an investor, are sure that your money will work in accordance with the values of green technology. As an investor, you can also influence the details we focus on.
Sula's products and production lines have been pre-planned since 2019, and significant amounts of labor and capital have been spent on research and product development. Based on pre-planning, we are able to estimate production investments and cost structure. The start-up of Sula companies' production will be done in stages. When production is operating according to plan, the factory's automation level will be approximately 70%. Assembly and maintenance work on the products will be done by robots, and the final finishing will be done by Finnish craftsmanship.
Sula companies aim for strong and profitable growth. We create value by making the working day of numerous forest professionals more efficient, all over the world. The main pillars of our strategy are innovation, ecology, profitability and a good work ethic. We focus on the business around sawmills and introduce new innovations to the market that make work more efficient and save time and money for our customers. By focusing on this business area, we strongly believe that we will succeed in international markets.
