Origin & history
Etola was founded by Johan August Etholén in the early 1930s. After being let go from his job due to the poor economic situation, Etholén bought three rubber shops. As the business began to expand, Etholén started manufacturing various rubber products. There were shops in Turku and two in Helsinki, one of the Helsinki shops still being in operation. Etholén’s son, Commercial Counsellor Nils A. Etola, headed the Etola Group for a long time. His work has been continued by his son, Erkki Etola.
