Atria convenience food factory, Seinäjoki

We are carrying out the construction works for a new extension building to Atria’s food production facility under a divided contract structure. We are responsible for the construction of the new extension to the ready-meal production plant.

The production facility is part of Atria’s clean transition investment programme. The investment modernizes ready-meal production and related energy solutions by upgrading production processes and other technical systems to more energy-efficient alternatives.

Construction will take place from January to December 2026, and the production facility will cover approximately 7,000 gross square metres. The expansion will be carried out while ensuring uninterrupted production operations throughout the entire construction period.

The facility will be built to P1 cleanliness classification standards, and the project will adhere to the DryChain10 (Kuivaketju10) moisture management criteria.

"Atria's food production plant concept of the future is a significant investment in the strengthening of Finland’s food production and security of supply. With our investment of over 80 million euros, we will modernize our production and take a major step toward carbon-neutral food production. In collaboration with YIT, we are implementing this project and building a future where Finnish food is of high quality, innovative, and environmentally friendly – and where security of supply and food security are stronger than ever,” said Mika Ala-Fossi, President and CEO of Atria Finland.

"It is great to be able to take this project forward in line with YIT's strategy and to utilize our long-term expertise in an industrial construction and clean transition project. We are grateful for this confidence in our experienced organization and proud to be able to develop and implement modern and functional work environments for local actors. In close cooperation with the project parties, we get to build a high-quality facility,” said Peter Forssell, EVP, Building Construction segment at YIT.
