Wall Mask story

Entrepreneur Petri Karvinen’s activity started out of his own need in the hobby. In the 90s, the newest thing was masked helmets, which were then only produced in North America. These expensive niceties didn’t fit into the student’s budget, so I had to make one myself. Since then, others also wanted a similar mask, and manufacturing started as a side job at first. Ten years later, sales grew so much that Karvinen dared to become a full-time entrepreneur in 2000.
