Susanna Shtanko

For over 30 years, Susanna has led custom sock production and international export to Europe and North America, working with top global brands while also developing her own successful labels: Loncame, Nordic Wools, and the patriotic streetwear brand Kosha.

​

Her long-standing partnership with Roots Canada — spanning more than 20 years — includes the production of the iconic Cabin Socks, proudly worn not only across Canada but also in international markets such as Taiwan and China.

​

Her premium Merino wool brand, Nordic Wools, is now sold in over 1,000 stores across North America.

Operating with the highest sustainability standards, LONKAME adheres to Oeko-Tex, Organic, and Recycled certifications, successfully passing rigorous international inspections and audits.

​

Through Loncame.com, the company provides custom logo sock production for startups, private labels, and established brands — supporting hundreds of new businesses each year with high-quality manufacturing across dress, sport, casual, military, and medical segments.

​

At the Business Woman Forum 2026, Susanna will share her entrepreneurial journey — from founding a factory in post-Soviet Ukraine to building a globally respected, sustainability-driven manufacturing brand.
