Startup ecosystem in Tampere

F Framery

Framery is a Finnish hardware manufacturer that designs and produces soundproof office pods and phone booths for open-plan workplaces. The company was founded in 2010 in Tampere, Finland by Samu Hällfors and Vesa-Matti Marjamäki after they were unable to find a ready-made solution for noise in their own open-plan office. Its product range includes the Framery One, Four and Six pods plus the newer Gradus line, along with workplace technology such as occupancy sensors, room displays and a management platform called Framery Connect. The company is headquartered and manufactures in Tampere, and in 2018 private equity firm Vaaka Partners became the majority owner.
