Who is Herrmans, and who are our people?

Herrmans is a Partner, Problem solver and Forerunner rooted in Finland

Herrmans’ people are proud of our Finnish heritage, and the characteristics traditionally associated with being Finnish. Being trustworthy, honest, humble, reliable and always professional is key to us. Making conscious choices and thinking long into the future is in our DNA – maybe a result of living in a harsh and cold environment where you can’t leave things up to luck if you want to survive.

Members of Team Herrmans might seem shy at first glance to an international eye, but look again and you will see an ambitious forerunner who is eager to learn and get ahead, someone that will loyally be your partner with warmth, kindness and helpfulness once you get acquainted.

Back in the beginning of Herrmans’ story, being sustainable, conscious and future-proofing the business probably meant different things than it does today. In those days, there was an awareness that if we want the company to grow and create jobs for the people in our region, we must develop the company in the direction where we see business opportunities. That kind of realism and “no nonsense, feet on the ground” mentality can still be seen in our legacy and way of working today. It has simply been completed with a clearsighted awareness of how important a sustainable business activity is for staying relevant and “on top of things” in the long run. For our People, for the Planet, and for being able to make Profit long term.

Herrmans is a bike industry partner with deep roots, standing solid on the Finnish primary rock. Not much will rock our boat, and we use that stability as a base to grow and innovate. We breathe easy when things run smoothly, so we strive to solve nods and find solutions to every situation.

Today our manufacturing processes are getting more and more automated, which is a pre-requisite for building our future. We follow a steady roadmap to develop our production, material use and our methods.
