Innovativeness is built on the courage to be different

'For us, doing things differently is doing them better,' says Pentti Patosalmi, the managing director of Ferroplan. Over the years, the company, which Patosalmi founded in 1983, has grown into Finland’s leading manufacturer of conveyor solutions, known for its innovation and brave approach to the future. In addition to its headquarters in Orimattila, Finland, the company has a component manufacturing unit in Jelgava, Latvia.

Ferroplan is a pioneer, offering

open-minded solutions for both design and production that are ahead of their time. The company uses highly advanced mobile technology and Web-based tools. Information technology is utilised throughout all operations from price quote calculations to design and manufacture, to make these tasks faster and more streamlined.

Product development as a continuous process

– along with use of the latest information and communications technologies – is a key factor for optimising costs and ensuring the highest quality in production. Customer-specific Web-based tools for price quote calculations and management of product structure enable fast processes for all aspects of customer service.

Responsibility for nature

'Respect for and protection of the natural environment is also an important aspect of business,' says Patosalmi. The managing director continues: 'Our environmental policy is well planned, and we were applying it already a long time ago, when many other companies were only just starting to become aware of environmental issues via legislation and regulations.' Environmental technology is a growing area of operation at Ferroplan.

The key factor for success

Skilled and flexible staff are the key factor in the company’s success. The active and innovative approach of Ferroplan’s employees is reflected in all areas of operations. Personal and professional development increase motivation and job satisfaction.
