Finbin ViVa shelters - Modularity and design on a CERN scale

Finbin has just achieved a significant victory, as the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, chose our ViVa bike and bus shelters as a result of an international tender. Although Finbin's shelters initially did not meet the original requirements of the tender, our Export Director Antti Kinnunen boldly contacted CERN to personally present our innovative solutions. This initiative proved to be a turning point.

The unique modularity of ViVa shelters offers the customer complete adaptability for large and diverse areas of use, such as CERN. Modules can be used to construct shelters of various sizes and shapes, precisely tailored to the needs of each area. In addition, the shelters can be equipped with durable glass, green roofs, and benches, thereby promoting environmental friendliness and sustainable development.

The stylish and durable structure of ViVa shelters not only met but exceeded customer expectations. The modularity of our products and our proactive approach to solving customer problems elevated our products above our competitors.

Personal commitment to every stage of the project was one of the most significant factors in this success story. Antti, one of Finbin's most experienced specialists, has pledged to participate in the installation phase himself. This not only ensures that the installation proceeds according to plan but also provides Finbin with valuable information on the requirements of an international project. This personal approach and commitment to supporting the customer throughout the project emphasize Finbin's operating philosophy: we do not just manufacture products, but offer comprehensive service and support from start to finish.

The importance of bike parking for businesses

This project at CERN also highlights the importance of bike parking for businesses. Growing environmental awareness and urban densification have made the promotion of sustainable modes of transport, such as cycling, important for both businesses and society as a whole. By investing in high-quality and safe bike parking, companies can demonstrate their commitment to environmental values, which not only improves their public image but also attracts environmentally conscious customers and employees who appreciate sustainable practices.

Furthermore, efficiently designed ViVa bike shelters enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of properties, increasing their value and usability. A well-designed bike parking area also optimizes space utilization and can reduce congestion around the property, which in turn improves traffic flow and area safety.

By investing in ViVa shelters, companies can thus demonstrate their responsibility and promote the well-being of their employees and customers by offering them a practical, safe, and visually appealing parking solution. This not only strengthens the company's brand as a pioneer in sustainable development but also builds a positive image of the company's responsible values, which is a valued and sought-after quality in modern business.
