News: Finnish Minister of Defence Visits KT-Shelter in Lappeenranta

13.06.2025 | KT-Shelter Oy, a developer of rapidly deployable shelter systems for defence and crisis response, had the honour of welcoming the Minister of Defence of Finland to its headquarters.

On 9 June 2025, the Finnish Minister of Defence, Antti Häkkänen, visited KT-Shelter’s facilities in Lappeenranta. The visit offered a valuable opportunity to present KT-Shelter’s core mission and values. It included an introduction to the company, a walk-through of our test shelter, and discussions on current topics in the defence industry.

The minister’s visit highlighted the importance of innovation, mobility, and resilience in today’s security environment — values that are central to our work at KT-Shelter. As a provider of advanced deployable shelter solutions for both military and civil defence needs, we were proud to showcase Finnish engineering and manufacturing excellence to such a distinguished representative of our national defence.
