ROUTA?

OUR STORY

The story or Routa Distillery begins with the 2014 retirement announcement of Aate Laukkanen, the grand old man of Finnish moonshine, founder and owner of Kiteen Pontikka. Suddenly The future of Finnish Moonshine was in jeopardy.

A worried group of Finnish enthusiasts and experts in various fields decide that something needs to be done. The legacy of Finnish moonshine needs to be preserved and developed. A core team is quickly assembled including the driving forces behind the global crowd-funded movie phenomenon Iron Sky, the most known moonshine salesman in Finland, marketing & event gurus who have worked with global brands such as Nokia and an art director / graphic designer whose work has been used by Burton snowboards and numerous skateboard- and surf-brands around the world.

Routa Distillery is formed and plans are set it motion to buy Kiteen Pontikka and continue and expand its operations both in Finland and globally.

BUILDING ON A STRONG FOUNDATION

Kiteen Pontikka is the most famous Finnish moonshine distillery with tens of thousands of bottles sold yearly still without any investment into marketing. If you ask a Finn to name a moonshine brand it will be the flagship product of Kiteen Pontikka - the legendary Kiteen Kirkas. It is almost synonymous with Moonshine in Finland.

In addition to the strong brands and heritage Kiteen Pontikka has a fully functioning modern distillery and the required rights to distill and distribute / sell alcohol products in the Finnish market and internationally.

In addition to the solid foundation created by Kiteen Pontikka the core team of Routa adds a fresh layer of expertise with global experience from the beverages industry, brand development, marketing, design and logistics to sales.

INTRODUCING A CROWD-OWNED DISTILLERY

From the start it was clear that a modern distillery needs a modern structure and a fresh new way of running the business.

We at Routa believe in the power of ideas and recognise that ideas can come from anywhere. So the more ideas and people creating ideas for us the better. The more passionate owners we have who can “poke the box” and help improve every aspect of what we do the stronger we are.

That’s why we want you onboard. To help us build a global success story based on a strong tradition dating back hundreds if not thousands of years.

As a Routa Distillery owner you can actively take part in the development of the company, our brands and our products via the Routa owner community. The community is an open platform where all aspects of our business are discussed and developed openly. New product ideas are tested, branding of new products can be commented on and new marketing schemes are being developed - together with our owners from around the world.

In essence each owner can truly affect the success of Routa and through that the profitability of their investment. In addition to this each owner will of course be entitled to dividends and various other owner benefits.

Page 7: Routa Pitch
Page 8: Routa Pitch

THE BRANDS, THE PLAN

The first step on the Routa journey is to revamp and relaunch Finland’s most iconic and known moonshine brand and take back a top spot in the the Finnish hard liquer market.

Next we will take this classic Finnish brand to a global market and in addition develop more products for various audiences around the globe the first being a brand new Moonshine brand inspired by the crowd-funded global hit movie Iron Sky and it’s sequel Iron Sky: The Coming Race launching in 2017.

In addition, the milder alcoholic beverages are part of the company’s product development strategy while not excluding non-alcoholic products. We also have active collaboration with Finnish breweries, vineyards and other companies producing alcoholic products.

This is just a start and as an owner you will be a part of the team developing, working on and helping us create these and other new products.
