Helsinki Mills Ltd. is Finland’s largest organic grain processor and a traditional family-owned company that has been manufacturing grain products for over 85 years.

We develop, market and sell various grain products to consumers, food industry, food service, food distributors and bakeries. Locally sourced, Finnish grains are our primary raw material and we use them to make flour, flakes, porridges, mueslis, cereals and meal ingredients. 

It was clear to us right from the start that we can only succeed with safe and high-quality products combined with operations that value nature and people. Environmental matters and sustainability were important to us long before they became a trend. Today, sustainability is one of our company’s most important values, and it guides our operations strongly. 

Environmental friendliness is an important part of sustainability, demonstrated by e.g. the fact that since 2020, our mill process has been completely carbon-neutral, and all our production facilities only use green electricity. We consider the environment also when choosing packaging materials. Our mills produce very little landfill waste, because the waste produced during grain cleaning is waste-to-energy waste, and packaging materials are recycled as cardboard or as waste-to-energy waste.

We have manufactured organic products for more than 25 years, and nowadays we are Finland’s largest producer of organic grain products. Around one-third of the products we manufacture are organic.

Over the decades, we have milled all the most important Finnish grains, including wheat, rye, barley, and oats. In recent years, oats have played a larger role, and we specialize in gluten-free oat products. Finnish oats are an excellent addition to a range of diets, as they are a nutritious and healthy.

Pure ingredients, the solid expertise of the millers, and modern technology all guarantee that Helsinki Mills products are top class quality.

Export matters

Exports are a key strategic focus for Helsinki Mills. We have carefully built our export market over time and are pleased to see it achieving year-on-year growth. Helsinki Mills is Finland’s largest producer of organic cereal products and a significant exporter of organic oats. Today, exports represent as much as around 35 per cent of our total turnover.

Helsinki Mills products, including flakes, oatmeal, bran, porridges, flours, baking goods and breakfast cereals are now available in some 50 countries around the world. In Finland we are known as Helsingin Mylly and internationally as Helsinki Mills Ltd. Our oats range is particularly well known and demand for our products is high on all continents.
