Today is Merko’s 35th birthday. We have done a lot of work over these years, built hundreds of buildings and infrastructure, established homes for thousands and supported many sponsorees for the benefit of Estonian society. Our team consists of diligent and talented colleagues and we plan to continue building the future with them.
Merko’s work to make Estonia’s future brighter begins with what we build – high-quality buildings and infrastructure that make life more convenient, an urban space that we shape with what we build, and the homes that are good places to live. Whether you are arriving by land, sea or air, you’ll recognize your home from the cityscape that keeps consistently improving through the efforts of Merko’s community.
Our contribution to society continues in what we support – we enrich the urban space with artwork, create recreational sport facilities within reach of everyone, valorise culture and art heritage, encourage engineering education and future engineers and provide assistance where we can.
We have illuminated the walls and towers of the Tallinn Old Town to bring out the works of medieval master builders in a worthy manner. In the same way, the works of contemporary artists also merit showcasing. When you stroll around town, you will see sculptures we have erected to make public areas more exciting, making people stop in their tracks and even bringing a smile to their faces.
No, these are not all things that we had to do, but yes, we want to do all of it. Our mindset is that if we are able to make something better, we have to give in to that temptation and do it.
On the occasion of the 35th anniversary, Merko founder and majority shareholder Toomas Annus gave an interview to journalist Raul Ranne. The conversation about the 35-year-long history and challenges facing the Estonian economy can be read in Edasi webzine, while video excerpts aired on the 4 November Täistund news programme on Kanal 2.
