Nurmo

It is located in the province of Western Finland and is part of the Southern Ostrobothnia region.

Nurmo houses the HQ and main plant of the meat company Atria, which has 1700 local employees.

In early 2007 it was proposed to merge Nurmo with the city of Seinäjoki and the neighbouring municipality of Ylistaro.

However, on 21 May 2007 Nurmo Council agreed to the merger by 18 votes to 17, and the municipality ceased to be an independent entity in 2009.
