The cruise industry continues to place a high demand on quality marine interiors, where functionality, aesthetics, and design must come together within tight budgets and schedules. MAKINEN, a family-owned company from Finland, has been a key player in this field since 1993. The company specialises in building cruise ship interiors, including both cabins and public spaces for newbuilds, as well as providing full turnkey refurbishment solutions for cruise lines.

Additionally, MAKINEN manufactures and supplies high-quality marine-grade furniture in-house. The company has evolved from a marine furniture manufacturer to a full-service turnkey marine interior provider, capable of managing any inquiry related to building cruise interior spaces. “In my time leading MAKINEN alongside my family and company leadership, I’ve seen first-hand how our commitment to precision, transparency, and long-term partnerships has been the foundation of our success. As a family-owned business, we’ve always maintained a strong sense of responsibility and understood the importance of not just delivering quality projects but
doing so within a transparent and predictable timeline,” Markus Makinen, one of the owners of MAKINEN shares and continues, “Over the years, this focus has become ingrained in our company culture and is now a key differentiator for us. It’s not just about meeting deadlines, it’s about building trust with our clients and partners by consistently delivering what we promise.”

Today, with a workforce of 50 employees spread across Finland, USA, and China, MAKINEN serves clients across the globe, contributing to some of the world’s largest and most prestigious vessels.
