People and partners as powerful growth enablers
There have been many twists and turns along the company’s growth journey. In March 2021, MedKit Finland Oy merged with Pamark Oy. Today, the company’s product offering comprises some 16,000 products covering all stages of a patient’s lifecycle from birth to death. In addition to medical supplies, the company also sells restaurant, hotel and catering supplies, cleaning supplies as well as office supplies.
“For me, the most important part of my job is the people and the partners we work with. When you start from zero and aim for high growth, you will need help from all kinds of people with different backgrounds along the way. To succeed in business development, it’s essential that you find the right people for the right roles. Nordea has been our partner from the very beginning. And without a good partner, it wouldn’t have been possible for us to grow the way we did during the pandemic. We won many tenders, which enabled us to become a global supplier. We needed solutions fast to help us procure these products,” Minna Åman-Toivio says and continues:
“We have built our close collaboration on trust as well as good and quick communication. Nordea has always been in the loop and known what’s coming, and it has therefore been able to react very quickly. Nordea has helped us create our growth plan and challenged us when needed.”
