It continues to invest in growth: in June 2026 it became majority owner of Kuivalihakundi, a company known for high-quality dried meats, with founder Timo Lahti continuing in operational management and as a significant owner. In the same month, Jouni Saarinen was appointed to Lunden's board. In August 2026, the Chef Lundén x Moilas gluten-free frozen triangle pastries were selected for the SIAL Innovation Awards 2026 competition, to be judged at SIAL Paris in October. These developments show an active, expanding Finnish food company with a focus on branded consumer food products. Oy Lunden Ab is not publicly listed and does not disclose a stock ticker. Its operations are concentrated in Finland, and its brands are aimed at Finnish consumers. The company's website emphasizes its family heritage, long history, and commitment to Finnish food culture.
