Koskisen is an international wood processing specialist with over a century of experience transforming timber into sawn wood, plywood, and chipboard. Following a complete brand overhaul, the outdated signage across all factories required updating.

I led the design and production of their new outdoor wayfinding system, starting with an on-site survey to evaluate existing signs before applying the new visual guidelines. Site navigation was redesigned to separate passenger cars from heavy trucks. The signs were produced primarily in Finnish and English, with Estonian and Russian added on key logistics routes for international drivers.

To meet tight deadlines, a phased approval workflow kept production running without interruption, delivering the project ahead of schedule. All signs were produced using heavy-duty aluminum composite panels.
