Production of metal parts in Finland according to the customer’s drawing

Finland is a developed industrial European country. In the last century, woodworking and papermaking developed most rapidly there. But in modern Finland, these industries have receded into the background. Today, the tone in the industry is set by electronics manufacturers, shipbuilders, manufacturers of tractors and buses. The country imports a large amount of metals, from which it produces products with high added value. Of course, local entrepreneurs often order the production of metal parts in Finland and abroad.

What Finnish customers need

It is always pleasant and easy to communicate with the managers of Scandinavian companies. These are simple and very educated people who are easy to get in touch with. Their main requirement is strict compliance with deadlines. Most Finns are interested in:

  1. Fast production of details. In Central and Western Europe, a period of 4 weeks is considered the norm. And in Finland, ready-made metal parts are waiting in 12-14 days.
  2. Strict compliance with the requirements of the drawing. Yes, Finnish engineers are ready to discuss tolerances or other parameters. But after approval of drawings and technical specifications no changes are allowed.
  3. Prices should be below market averages.

Let’s be honest – it is very difficult to meet the requirements of Finnish customers. But we succeed, although we have to make every effort. Send us a drawing of your part and see how quickly and efficiently we can handle its production.

Who did we make metal parts for in Finland?

We were most often approached by representatives of the following industries:

  1. Shipbuilding
  2. Instrument making
  3. Chemical Industry
  4. Manufacturers of equipment for the food industry
  5. Manufacturers of packaging equipment

Our managers and engineers are well aware of what Finnish manufacturers need. We adjust our own production to their needs.

Manufacture of metal parts in Finland

Three technologies are used – casting, stamping and milling and turning on CNC machines. When it comes to high accuracy, it is best to use the latter. Only a modern lathe or milling machine is able to withstand tolerances in millimeters. Of course, metalworking on CNC machines is a bit more expensive than stamping. However, in batches of 50 to 50,000 units, it is better to use it.

After receiving the drawing, engineers process it and write a program for the machine. As a rule, the workpiece is processed on several machines alternately before it becomes a finished part. And then it is sent for post-processing. For example, apply protective coatings. Our company, taking into account the wishes of customers, has created its own facilities for anodizing aluminum. Now we do the whole cycle, send the customer a ready-made part. A product that can be used immediately in the manufacture of complex mechanisms.

Delivery of finished parts to Finland

  1. Most often we use the services of large logistics companies. For example, we send finished metal parts to Finland via UPS.
  2. When you need to speed up delivery, we hire private carriers. They pick up the finished products in our warehouse and immediately take them to the customer’s warehouse. This allows you to win another 1-2 days. We understand how important this is for Finnish entrepreneurs.
