Vaski Group 200 years – Technology Festival a huge success

The in-house company event, combining an Open House, Mini-exhibition, and Festival themes, was held just at the brink of summer in June 2025, at Hyvinkää, Finland. The visitors cited this as “never-before-seen in the industrial segment”. We agree; the big ambition to create a once-in-a-lifetime event for roughly 250 of our customers and partners, where they learn about new technologies and possibilities, and have the option to have quality time off and relax, was praised for its success.
