Erna Rusi, CEO of Saxdor Yachts, comments:

“This expansion of production to Finland represents an important milestone for Saxdor. Besides additional production capacity to meet the high global demand, it also gives us the opportunity to have another innovation hub for R&D. At the same time, our shipyard in Elk, Poland, with its 10,000 sqm and 550 employees, remains a cornerstone for the company. The extensive know-how we have built over the years allows us to continue to expand our serial production capacity to make sure we get enough products out to the market. The integration of both capabilities, along with our growing team at Saxdor, will enable us to elevate our capabilities and reach the next level of innovation and production excellence. We’re extremely pleased to have production take place also in our home market.”

The new Finnish shipyard will play a crucial role in Saxdor’s long-term plans, including the production of upcoming new models. With this strategic move, the company demonstrates a bold approach and confidence in Finnish craftsmanship and its commitment to producing world-class yachts.
