tilanluonnetta

Tilanluonnetta is a contemporary Finnish brand that specialises in agricultural and rural technology solutions. The company was founded in 2003 by Jari Hiltunen and is headquartered in the municipality of Rauma, on the southwestern coast of Finland. Hiltunen, a former mechanical engineer at a major agricultural machinery manufacturer, established the company with the goal of creating sustainable and user‑friendly tools for small- and medium‑sized farms.

The product range of Tilanluonnetta centres on precision irrigation systems, soil‑monitoring devices and lightweight farm implements. In 2008 the company introduced its first line of solar‑powered irrigation controllers, which were subsequently adopted by several regional cooperatives. A flagship product, the TilaX Soil Sensor, entered the market in 2014 and combined satellite imagery with local soil‑moisture readings to provide farmers with real‑time allocation advice. The sensor’s adoption grew steadily, reaching a 15 % market share in the Nordic region by 2020.

Tilanluonnetta places a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability. All products are manufactured using recyclable materials and the company partners with the Finnish Environment Institute to develop low‑emission machinery. In 2019, the brand received the Nordic Green Award for its “Eco‑Agri” line of electric tillers. The company also runs the “Tilakoulut” educational program, offering training workshops across Finland on digital farming practices and resource optimisation.

Financially, Tilanluonnetta has achieved annual revenues of approximately €18 million in the latest fiscal year, with a net profit margin of 9 %. The company operates through a network of distributors in Sweden, Norway, and Estonia, and maintains a small but growing export portfolio in the Baltic Sea region. As of 2025, Tilanluonnetta employs around 120 staff members and continues to invest heavily in research and development, aiming to expand its product portfolio into autonomous farming machinery.
