Following the news from January and Karoo aiming to start the Adventure Camper deliveries in August 2026 – we are excited to announce that Karoo has signed a manufacturing contract with Markos as of today. The cooperation covers the finalization of the product development, achieving together the serial production readiness and start of the production of Karoo Adventure Campers’ body parts and assembly.
“This is another significant milestone on our journey to fulfill our first mission to bring a novel product to the market and build a sustainable business around it. After visiting Markos the first time months ago and having had several discussions since that with its management, I am truly convinced that we have got the best-fit partner to respond to the ramp-up and production scaling challenge in the coming years. What is particularly important for us is that we seem to share a lot in common in values and governance of the companies, especially in sustainability and quality management.” says Timo Huhtala, CEO of Karoo Oy.
“We see the cooperation with Karoo as an exciting opportunity to support the industrialisation of a new generation of adventure campers. The project combines innovative product design with scalable manufacturing, which fits well with Markos’ long-term strategy in advanced composite manufacturing and assembly. We look forward to contributing our engineering, production and industrialisation capabilities to help bring the Karoo Adventure Camper to the market,” says Piotr Chomontek, Chief Commercial Officer & Board Member of Markos Sp. z o.o.
