“The need for safe and more productive workspaces existed already before the pandemic, but the pandemic has highlighted the importance of ensuring the health and safety of employees and customers in various meetings and work situations. Vetrospace is uniquely positioned to serve this need with workspaces that reduce harmful viruses, microbes and particles by 99%, while providing better productivity through industry leading soundproofing and air quality – including room-specific air conditioning. We look forward to working with the Vetrospace team to further accelerate the company’s international growth”, says Anssi Kariola, Managing Partner, Verso Capital.

“We are excited to take the next growth steps together with the Verso team. Vetrospace has a unique product offering but has been lacking resources to accelerate our international growth. The additional financing enables us to accelerate our sales activities with several recruitments in Finland and internationally, while the Verso team can help us to improve our overall business performance with their expertise and knowledge”, says Jouko Urpolahti, CEO, Vetrospace Oy.
