Personnel

Arja & Ilkka

Arja and Ilkka started their adventure with Hammaskeiju in June 2025, bringing new innovation and energy to our team.

Arja – CEO and customer guide: Arja brings a clear vision and a warm service attitude. She advises our customers to choose the right products and takes care of the tricks of the retail business. As CEO, Arja ensures that the customer is at the heart of all service – and if necessary, she also offers support in other languages: If help needed in English – eller svenska – please contact Arja.

Ilkka – the engine of product development and logistics: Ilkka ensures that the ingredients we receive are always of high quality and that our pastilles end up at the right address exactly when they are supposed to. He is particularly inspired by product development, and financial matters also run smoothly through Ilkka’s hands. Ilkka’s maker-like approach ensures that innovation and quality remain at their best! 

Pertti

Former CEO of XyliMind Oy, also known as Hammaskeiju, and for a short time also an employee due to the change of ownership. He is also one of the founders of the company. The delicious taste of our pastilles goes back to him, as Pertti previously built his career in the sweetener industry.

Pertti is the nice man you most often get to talk to when you call our customer service number and with whom you have also gotten to know face to face, for example at many different trade fairs.

Tommi

Tommi is our pastill maker. Thousands of delicious Hammaskeiju pastilles are born in the hands of this man on a weekly basis. Tommi has a lot of good visions and quality is especially important to him in his work.

Tommi has a positive and hard-working attitude, which is striking right from the first meeting.

Anu

Anu is a real superwoman who is in charge for packing and mailing. Anu also helps with her professional approach in various office paper assignments when needed.

Cleanliness is especially important to us and Anu is in a class of her own with it. When the rest of us only realize that it is time to put the places in order again, she has already done the job.

Arttu

Arttu is our younger pastill maker. He has mastered the process of making pastilles and has also become familiar with the packaging line.

Arttu builds and greases cars in his free time and also likes to repair and develop equipment at work. He is the most technically oriented of our gang.
