Growth stories are never created alone.

Nordic Plast sought new momentum for exports – Kiila Crew partnered with the company to strengthen export operations and marketing.

“Nordic Plast already had some export business, but despite our previous efforts, we had not achieved the growth and breakthrough we were aiming for. We wanted to accelerate export growth while strengthening our marketing efforts.

We learned about Kiila Crew through Mika Rantanen. Mika and I had already worked together in various capacities for around 20 years, so starting this collaboration felt natural. Our discussions quickly identified areas where Kiila Crew could complement our in-house expertise.

Kiila Crew’s role has focused particularly on developing Nordic Plast’s export operations and marketing. From the beginning of our collaboration, we have worked to build a more systematic approach to marketing and make it an integral part of the broader effort supporting exports. This has been an important step forward for us, as marketing had not previously been integrated into our export activities in the same way.

The collaboration has brought fresh ideas and practical perspectives on how to position our products and company in new markets. It is still too early to assess concrete export results, as the collaboration is relatively recent. We have strengthened our way of working and, above all, gained a clearer understanding of how marketing and sales can support each other.

Nordic Plast has a strong product and a capable in-house organisation. Working with Kiila Crew has given us access to expertise that we previously lacked. You do not need to do everything yourself. External expertise adds real value when it complements the strengths of your own organisation.

We believe the collaboration has considerable potential going forward. Our goal is to continue developing Nordic Plast’s export operations and marketing while identifying new customers and markets.”

A proven track record and shared history

“Our partnership with the key people at Kiila Crew is by no means a new thing. We’ve been on this journey together for years, standing by their side right from the very start. With a time-tested way of working and solid mutual trust, day-to-day operations run without any friction: we work together daily on marketing and sales for both Kiila itself and their clients.

This long history shows above all in how we get things done. Our partnership pretty much feels like being family – the threshold is low, communication is direct, and the drive to execute is always spot-on. Each side’s strengths complement the other perfectly because everyone knows their role.

Together, we provide our clients with both strategic and tactical support. We don’t just scratch the surface or pull quick tricks; we support the entire sales funnel all the way from production needs to driving sales and building out reseller networks. Kiila Crew’s deep expertise in business and international trade, combined with our marketing and branding capabilities, is simply a combination that works.

It’s great to keep building on this foundation. If we had to sum up Kiila Crew in a single sentence, they are a crew that puts genuine heart into their work. We warmly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, results-driven partner.”

Straightforward collaboration and shared successes

“I already knew the Kiila team very well, so it was easy to start working together, as I already knew that they were a reliable partner. The collaboration has worked extremely well from the very beginning, and I believe we still have many years and many joint projects ahead of us.

Kiila Crew has opened doors to new clients for me. Through our collaboration, we have also been able to combine our expertise and deliver more extensive solutions to clients than either of us could offer alone. I believe that the positive experiences we have both had in the past have created a strong foundation for the partnership. Our greatest strength is our ability to combine our knowledge and expertise. This enables us to offer truly comprehensive solutions to our shared clients.

Working with Kiila Crew is clear, fair and, above all, straightforward. Things are handled quickly, and both parties know what they can expect from each other.

I believe our collaboration will continue to grow in the future. We have a solid foundation for taking on increasingly large joint projects and offering clients an even broader range of services.

I would definitely recommend—and have recommended—Kiila Crew to my own network. I know from experience how straightforward and reliable it is to work with them. When something has been agreed, you can trust that it will be taken care of.”
