Oulu, Finland, 2025

The largest removal in history in Oulu

The launch of Nokia's Oulu campus required an exceptionally large and demanding removal project. Staff, furniture, equipment, and production-related infrastructure were moved from several different locations to the new campus, while ensuring business continuity. Martela was responsible for the planning and implementation of the entire removal.

A scale that required careful planning

The removal was one of the largest in Nokia's history in Finland. The project focused on security, schedule management, and a smooth transition in a critical operating environment.

The move was carried out in stages, in close cooperation with Nokia, so that research, development, and production activities could continue without interruption.
