Story About Us
Concilio is a development company that was established in 1994. From the beginning it has been developing agriculture and SME food businesses in Finland. Since 2018 partners have joined their experience, knowledge, and minds to form services for food and agriculture companies that are aiming for Middle East and South East markets. In 2022 Concilio established its first subsidiary in Iran and has an office in Tehran. Other subsidiaries and offices are to be opened soon.
Since three partners have different stories, different backgrounds and different mindsets, we can together generate additional value for your business. And most importantly we are more than the sum of its parts!
