Five days after SaunaNews reported on the topping-out of Leil Saunas’ new production building in Vonnu, Estonia, the demand side of that expansion has come into sharper focus. The manufacturer (formerly Saunasell) now references distribution to more than 45 countries on current marketing materials, up from the “over 35 countries” that still appears on its public website. A new partner called Suuda Sauna anchors the southern-European channel, serving Italy and Spain with Leil’s full product line and base pricing that starts below €7,000.

The Southern-Europe Channel

Suuda Sauna positions itself as the Italian and Spanish gateway for Leil’s entire catalog. The site carries at least nine models across outdoor and indoor categories, with three pricing tiers that map directly onto Leil’s Pure, Elegant, and Premium collections.

The entry-level outdoor cabin is the Black Cube Comfort at €6,800 for a six-person unit. The Black Cube Premium steps to €7,475 with upgraded interior finishes. The Round Cube Mini, the compact four-to-five person model with a footprint under 50 square feet, lists at €8,285 base before optional LED lighting, juniper wall accents, and heater packages. All three product pages were updated on May 4.

Every model ships as a DIY flat-pack kit with a UKU Wi-Fi smart controller. Materials follow Leil’s house standard: Lunawood ThermoWood exterior, aspen and alder benches, tempered glass. Customization adds two to three months of lead time.

The company’s founder, identified as Giorgio on Suuda’s about page, describes a decade of experience with Nordic brands before launching the dealership. The site carries 65-plus customer reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, with testimonials from Como, Milan, Turin, Barcelona, and Ibiza. The precise establishment date and the formalization timing of the Leil partnership are not stated publicly. SaunaNews has reached out to both companies for confirmation.

Production Meets Distribution

The country-count jump reads differently when paired with Leil’s Vonnu campus expansion. The manufacturer’s existing nine production halls span 95,200 square feet, producing 250-plus saunas per month. A new building topped out on April 17 and is scheduled for completion in July, roughly doubling the physical footprint.

Going from 35-plus to 45-plus distribution countries in approximately twelve months (a roughly 30 percent increase in country-level outlets) while simultaneously building a second production facility suggests the constraint Leil is managing is not demand. It is capacity. The southern-Europe channel choice reinforces that reading. Italy and Spain are markets where residential sauna adoption has lagged Scandinavia and the Baltics, but where an Estonian manufacturer with a design-competition pedigree (Leil won a Red Dot Best of the Best in 2024) and celebrity ambassadors from F1 driver Valtteri Bottas to skateboarder Tony Hawk can compete on aesthetics rather than price alone.

That competitive position matters. At €8,285 for a compact outdoor cabin, Leil is not chasing the value end of the market. Other European manufacturers pushing into new geographies this year are making similar bets on brand and design over volume discounting, a pattern that only works when the production pipeline can match the pace of new-market onboarding.

Why It Matters

The 35-to-45 country jump is a growth metric derived from Leil’s own marketing copy. It is not from a regulatory filing, and the website has not yet been updated to reflect the higher figure. But pair the claim with the Vonnu campus expansion, and Leil’s 2026 strategy reads as production-led: add distribution countries only as fast as factory capacity allows. For distributors watching southern Europe, the Suuda channel signals which end-markets are paying first. For the broader manufacturer sector, the pattern is becoming familiar: build capacity, then fill it with country-level partners who handle last-mile sales and assembly support. The question by year-end is whether the July facility completion triggers a third distribution leap.
