Martela's year 2023 was challenging due to uncertain market conditions. The turnover decreased by 12 percent to 94.4 million euros, and the operating result was -2.4 million euros, indicating a loss. The company adjusted its cost structure and achieved a positive operating profit in the latter half of the year. The need for workspace changes, driven by evolving work practices, increased demand for Martela's services and furniture. Despite a weak start in new orders, the gap to the previous year narrowed significantly in each quarter of the year. Martela remained focused on its strategic priorities, such as leveraging circular economy principles and enhancing customer experience. CEO Ville Taipale commented: "Despite the challenging market conditions, the year was a period of strong development for Martela." After a busy year, the company extends gratitude to its customers and personnel, and sees positive signs for the future.
