Johannes Lauri established a company called
Laurin Tuotteet and a knife factory in 1924. Besides
knives, products made of reindeer antlers and
bone were produced by the workshop, for exam-
ple, as souvenirs. The original production building
was destroyed during the Lapland War and a new
one was built at its site. The current workshop
and shop operate in a house built in the late 19th
century that was transferred from the village of
Namma to the workshop’s courtyard in the 1970s.

The current Kukkola company building was built
in 1939 to serve as facilities for the Ahon Auto car
shop. The building housed also a service station.
The building is one of the few pre-war buildings
representing functionalism in Rovaniemi.
