What Kuori does

Kuori Oy is a Finnish designer and manufacturer of enterprise-grade digital display hardware, founded in 2015 in Espoo and led by co-founders Maria Jokelainen (CEO) and Jarkko Jokelainen (CTO). The company designs, manufactures, and delivers modular display products — most notably the R4 and R5 outdoor digital signage lines, payment kiosks, outdoor totems, and window-facing signage — as well as OEM/ODM display modules for partners (YetiCare, Trackman, Zenniz, Farol Emobility). The core technology stack is a component-level modular hardware architecture paired with Android and Google EDLA certification (Kuori claims a global first for large-format outdoor EDLA displays). Differentiated in-house technology includes a patent-pending passive cooling system rated for −40°C to +60°C operation without refrigerants or filters, proprietary LED backlights delivering approximately 30% lower power consumption, IP66 weatherproofing, and integrated remote device management (zero-touch enrollment, OTA updates, MDM).

Revenue is generated predominantly through hardware sales of customized display units and payment kiosks, supplemented by OEM/ODM design-and-manufacturing services for partner-branded products and ongoing managed remote-monitoring services. Pricing is contract-based and tailored per enterprise deployment (no public list pricing). The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, channel partners (e.g., Officepro Finland Oy for Finnish public-sector and SME resellers), strategic OEM embedding (e.g., YetiCare for healthcare, Trackman for golf simulation), and an active trade-show presence at ISE, EuroCIS, INFOCOMM, Nordic EV Summit, Digital Signage Summit Europe, and BETT. Manufacturing is distributed across partners in the EU, China, and South Korea, with installed base across 30+ countries. Named enterprise customers include Kotipizza (700+ kitchen/POS displays), Ocean Outdoor (20 double-sided totems in Stockholm), Aimo Park (~200 parking units), Mediateko (10-year lifecycle outdoor LCDs), Trackman, Zenniz, and Farol.

Kuori is a privately held Finnish company with no disclosed external institutional funding; ownership is concentrated with the Jokelainen founders, who share board representation with newly appointed Chairman Niko Eiden, Antti Turja, Markus Backman, and Harri Mäkitie (June 2023), and Chief Growth Officer Andrew Cresswell (August 2023). Healthcare products were separated into YetiCare Oy in 2022 to enable focused execution. Most recent primary disclosure cites approximately €14 million in 2023 revenue (a separate source notes €17.5M for 2022), 70+ employees, and continued product-line and geographic expansion across retail/DOOH, EV charging, parking, sports technology, healthcare, and industrial OEM segments.
