Responsibly from the North
Sustainability
Nordic design with passion.
At Pentik, authenticity is at the heart of everything we do. Our focus on craftsmanship and creativity is evident in our hand-made ceramics, hand-painted patterns, and our unique approach to color. Each piece reflects the ingenuity of Nordic design, celebrating the timeless charm of nature and the art of living beautifully, yet simply.
A story from the North.
Pentik’s story began in 1971 in Posio, where the company’s ceramics factory, logistics centre, office building and factory outlet are still located.
The company’s administrative offices are situated in Helsinki and Posio. There are a total of 32 Pentik shops across Finland, stretching from Helsinki in the south to Pello in the north. We employ a total of around 140 people.
Our story began with clay and one woman’s dream.
From the beginning, common sense has guided us: using materials thoughtfully, caring for people and supporting the vitality of Posio.
Our focus on craftsmanship and creativity is evident in our hand-made ceramics, hand-painted patterns, and our unique approach to color. Each piece reflects the ingenuity of Nordic design, celebrating the timeless charm of nature and the art of living beautifully, yet simply. We design products with longevity in mind.
For us, sustainability is an ongoing journey. We keep learning and looking for ways to do better. We published our first sustainability report in 2022. Environmental aspects and resource use play a role in our decision-making across the company, including when selecting materials, partners and service providers.
