Through his family company, Martti Haapala acquired Villa Hannala, a traditional lace villa built in 1859 in Toppila, Oulu, in the fall of 2021. Active Owner has taken the villa as their base and named it “Active Owner Club”.
The idea of acquiring Villa Hannala came when the Active Owner bought a tugboat called “Alpo” for Toppilan Möljä Oy and launched the Toppilan Terwa Marina harbour project. In this sense, acquiring Villa Hannala completed the whole. Villa Hannala was the family villa of Johan Wilhelm Snellman, a fleet owner from Oulu and the founder of a trading house.
Snellman owned ten sailing ships in the port of Toppila, which transported tar and timber around the world. In the 1890s, shipping traffic could be followed from the villa, when a high observation tower was built in connection with the extension of the villa. Thus, it can be concluded that the purchase of the villa returned Hannala to its maritime roots, and the entrepreneurs can once again watch their ships facing Toppila harbour and the sea.
Active Owner actively affects shareholder value.
