The Association for Finnish Work has awarded the Key Flag symbol to KL-Lämpö Oy’s following product groups:

• heat transfer liquids
• Peittex cleaning chemicals
• corrosion inhibitors (including boiler water chemicals, corrosion and scale inhibitors for district heating systems, as well as anti-corrosive and anti-scale agents for cooling systems).

The Key Flag is a sign of Finnish work. The symbol can be awarded to a product that has been made in Finland. In addition, the right to use Key Flag Symbol can be awarded to products with a minimum domestic content of 50 per cent of its break-even cost. The calculation takes into consideration all costs related to the product.

“We take pride in the know-how and quality service of our family enterprise. We have developed high-quality products for water treatment, which are manufactured sustainably. These products help our customers increase the energy efficiency and reliability of their operations in an environmentally friendly way. The Key Flag symbolises our company values: we take responsibility for the wellbeing of our employees, the environment, and the society. By using the Key Flag symbol, we want to increase the appreciation of Finnish services and products. Buying Finnish products also supports domestic employment,” explains Managing Director Olli Edgren of KL-Lämpö Oy.

The Key Flag symbol is very well known in Finland. According to a study conducted by the Association for Finnish Work, practically all Finnish consumers and business executives know the Key Flag symbol. The majority of Finns (75%) also state that the Key Flag symbol has a positive impact on their purchasing decisions. Approximately half of the Finnish population associate the symbol with responsibility.
