E.S. Lahtinen Oy was established on 31.10.1928, when Mr. Erkki Samuli Lahtinen signed an agreement to represent Indian motorcycles. At first, the business idea was to sell motorcycles and bicycles and to repair all kinds of machines.
Considering this era, there were multiple steps before getting to the point ESLA is now. Mr. Erkki Samuli Lahtinen being a proper engineer, he first thought of mass producing kick sleds using a steam engine - and a break through came as the village received electricity back in 1947.
In 1979, the business became registered as a limited company and the founders six children were appointed as the first shareholders. The business is still proudly a family-owned company and all the shareholders are second, third or fourth generation descendants of the original founder. The millionth sled was produced in 2001.
