BRP Finland Oy is a part of the Canadian Bombardier Recreational Products Group. The company manufactures, develops and markets motor-operated recreational vehicles. The Rovaniemi factory focuses on designing and manufacturing Lynx® and Ski-Doo® Utility snowmobiles. The company’s operations include the importing and marketing of other BRP products in both the Baltics and Nordic countries. It also manufactures spare parts, accessories for vehicles and driving equipment for their own snowmobile models.

The manufacturing of Lynx snowmobiles began in Rovaniemi in 1978, when a portion of the production of the company Velsa Oy was transferred from the town of Kurikka to Rovaniemi. The entire snowmobile production was then concentrated in Rovaniemi in 1980, and in 1993 the business operations, in their entirety, were taken over by Canadian Bombardier Inc with the acquisition of the remainder of the company’s capital stock. Bombardier Inc sold the recreational products group to a Canadian-American investment group in 2003 and the new company was given the name Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP).
