ABOUT OUR
NEW NAME.

Telko /tel·ko/ noun. Origin: Finnish, industrial trade heritage. First recorded use: Early 20th century (Suomen Teollisuuskonttori).

Derived from Suomen Teollisuuskonttori, a Finnish industrial trading office established in 1917, originally focused on the import of coal and coke. The root word “teollisuus” means industry, and “konttori” means office: together describing a commercial hub that connected global raw materials with emerging Nordic industries. Over time, the long-form name was shortened, simplified and modernised and became: Telko.
