Pertti Ekberg originally started producing disposables in the cellar of his house. This first ”production facility” had such a low ceiling that a taller man could not stand upright there. Luckely however Pertti could and Fiblon’s first investments were made: a knife and a couple of 2-inch boards for manually cutting and folding disposable sheets for hospital use. The family's garage became the first warehouse.

Many things has changed since then. To mention a few: instead of a 20 m2 cellar we now have over 7,000 m2 of production and warehousing facilities, 8 extremely efficient lines for napkins, inflight products and cleaning wipes. The production runs in three shifts seven days a week and we convert 25 metric tons of different raw materials every day.

Some things are however still the same: everything we sell we manufacture ourselves and we are still totally privately owned by the family. Pertti Ekberg has now retired but is still the chairman of the board. The three children are now on the Board of Directors. The family’s eldest son, Pekka Ekberg, is our current Managing Director.

Fiblon is in healthy growth as it has been during its entire existence. We will also in the future follow the lines laid down by the founder: staying close to our customers and continuously improving all our actions.
