– I got fired from my own brewery, wrote the founder of Fiskars Brewery Jari Leinonen on social media at the end of the year Avecmedia by.
Now the online media tells what really happened.
The production manager of Veitsitehta, which operates in Raasepori, was replaced in the change negotiations at the end of the year. Fiskars Brewery, Suomenlinna Brewery, Noita Winery and Ägräs Distillery operate at Veitsitehta.
CEO of Brukkett, which runs the knife factory Mikko Ali-Melkkilän according to the company’s costs have been too high and profitability has not followed despite the growth.
The founders of Fiskars Brewery and Suomenlinna Brewery Leinonen and Jari “Köpi” Tapanainen worked at Brukett, which includes the breweries. As a result of the company’s change negotiations, the founders’ employment ended.
Due to the streamlining of the organization, there was no longer a place for the founders.
– Yes, it’s sad when you built your own for 15 years and suddenly got fired for it, Leinonen says to Avecmedia.
As far as Suomenlinna Brewery is concerned, another era will come to an end when Brukett gives up the entire Suomenlinna unit. A few percent of the brewery’s beer is produced in Suomenlinna.
