Food with Love
Satotukku's mission has been to expand Finnish consumers' knowledge about fruit and vegetables and to help them discover a wider variety of products. We have succeeded in this, and our work continues. Our aim is to provide our customers with quality products at competitive prices.
As the biggest independent fruit and vegetable wholesaler in Finland, Satotukku has always been one of the most respected trendsetters. In addition to the basic products, Satotukku is also experienced in providing organic produce and specialty fruits. A good, quality product comes from Satotukku's professional contract farmers in Finland and abroad. An important link to our farmers abroad is Greenfood's own purchasing company Greenfood Iberica.
Satotukku Knows the Latest Products and Trends
Satotukku has decades of experience in fruit and vegetables, including new products and trends. Satotukku has introduced a number of new products to the market, including many exotic fruits. Our passion for food is also evident in our Eden brand, which offers consumers savoury salads, fruit salads and juices, all made from the best ingredients and packed in handy ready-to-eat packages. Satotukku also has a wide range of Eden fruits and vegetables. These high quality Eden products are only available through Satotukku.
It all Began with Gherkins and Fruit
Satotukku is a wholesaler founded by Antero Lumivirta in 1967.
Read more about our history covering nearly 50 years.
Season of Growth
Satotukku is a wholesaler founded by Antero Lumivirta in 1967, that started out as a small ‘man and a van’ business. Its first products were gherkins and fruit.
Quickly, Satotukku expanded its business into importing, enabling it to supply wholesalers with growing amounts of produce. Building our own banana ripening rooms in the 1970s helped to diversify our range of products and strengthen our market position. In the 1980s, the company focused on import and on domestically grown vegetables.
Business Becomes Stronger
In 1994, Satotukku moved from Helsinki to Vantaa. Joining the EU meant free trade into Finland, harder competition, and so additional boost for business was sought in retail. In 1995, Satotukku resumed sales to food retailers after several decades. In just a short period of time, this proved to be a good plan, and this work continues to grow today.
At the beginning of 2002, the STC group bought Satotukku, which subsequently became part of the Swedish STC GreenFood group. In summer 2015, Fidelio Capital bought the group, which is now called Greenfood and is one of the biggest independent fruit and vegetable businesses in the Nordic region. In December Greenfood got new main owner Nordic Capital.
Greenfood – Strong Business
Satotukku is part of the Greenfood group, which is the biggest independent fruit and vegetable business within the Nordic countries. The group's main business areas are wholesale, fresh cut products and salad bars. Finland and Sweden are Greenfood's main market areas.
Greenfood's strengths include close cooperation and purchasing, as well as being local and innovative. We are familiar with the latest trends and the needs of our customers. And naturally this is all based on our love for food, particularly fruit and vegetables.
Everything Under the Same Roof
Greenfood's aim is to continue to be the leader in fruit and vegetables in the future. GreenFood continues to follow the megatrends, investing in the planning of healthy, ready to eat fruit and vegetable products, since they will be in ever growing demand. You can get everything from Greenfood: fruit and vegetables, fresh cut products, as well as our popular salad bar concept.
In total, Greenfood has around 600 employees, 200 of whom work in Finland. Satotukku gives employment to 80 people, the Fresh Cut product specialist Salico in Juva to 99 people, and Picadeli salad bar in Vantaa to 12 people.
