PLOOTU FENNICA 2006
Reasons given for the honourable mention: The MTH Concertto façade system offers a new and innovative building method for façades of new and renovation construction, which expands the methods of use. The efficient use of the material and high speed of the end installation give the product a competitive edge over the alternative solutions.
INNOFINLAND 2005
The national INNOFINLAND contest of the President of the Republic is arranged each year with the purpose of promoting productisation and commercialisation of new inventions, encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit, and rewarding innovative entrepreneurship.
Reasons given for the honourable mention: The façade system developed by Metehe Oy, Joutseno, is a new way of implementing façade structures with steel sheets. Installing the façade elements as entire sheets makes the work faster. In addition, there are no joints in the edges of the patterns, which could weaken the sealing properties of the façade structure. Developing the MTH Concertto product and manufacturing method is a good example of target-oriented research and development work by small and medium-sized enterprises.
