Case Puhdistamo
Shaking up the wellness aisle
Sytytä’s official opinion is that companies that take care of themselves and others will succeed now and in the future. The goal of Puhdistamo is to get people to choose the best, high quality and natural option, that contains nothing extra.
The journey has been long: at first there were just a few friends and a website. Then Puhdistamo started to expand to grocery stores and since then you can find them practically anywhere where their category’s products are available. Their newest venture is their pharma line.
Let’s take a quick look into Puhdistamo’s ideology: Finns of all ages drink huge amounts of energy drinks every day. There has been a lot of discussion around the necessity of energy drinks, since most of them contain lots of sugar and various additives. Puhdistamo offers their alternative without anything extra. The same idea applies to supplements, snack bars etc. To get to where they are now, it has required being stubborn and uncompromising to reach their goals.
