Aisti plans to build a new production line for bio-based acoustic tiles in Finland. The plant’s annual production capacity is 2.5 million square meters of acoustic tiles. By 2030, Aisti acoustic tiles are expected to decrease builders’ greenhouse gas emissions by 3.5 megatons. Aisti the Finnish provider of sustainable wood-fiber building materials that are safe and sound for people and the environment.
