About Koha-Suomi
Koha-Suomi Oy maintains and develops Koha, an open-source library management system, on behalf of its owner municipalities. The company is wholly owned by Finnish municipalities and operates on a non-profit basis.
Its customers are the owner municipalities and the libraries that use Koha. The company sells Koha maintenance and development services to these owners, with the stated aim of keeping the system current at reasonable cost. Development follows guidelines set by the board, with input from an expert group made up of representatives of libraries that use Koha.
Koha-Suomi was founded in 2016 as a result of the Kohti Kohaa project. Its registered seat is in Mikkeli, and owner municipalities across Finland provide workspace for its staff. The company employs a managing director, five full-time developers and a systems designer. In October 2025 it received the COSS ry Open World Hero award for 2025.
