Peikko has had its own Sales and Engineering team in Istanbul, Turkey, already since 2009. For the time being, Peikko operates in the premises of around 700 m².

Once the operations are stabilized, the intent is to expand the product offering and scale of operations rapidly in the years to come.

“To be able to serve our Turkish customers and grow the business further in the environment of fluctuating currency exchange rates, increasing logistics costs, and the existence of customs duties, it is imperative to have a more local approach.
