Ferroplan expands its operations into Swedish markets

Ferroplan announces its expansion into Swedish conveyor markets as part of its strategic growth plan to grow an international presence.

With a solid foundation in the Finnish market, Ferroplan is excited to extend its reach into Sweden. This strategic move reflects company’s commitment to providing innovative conveyor solutions to customers in the wider Nordic region.

To lead its expansion into the Swedish market, Ferroplan has appointed Andreas Niska as the dedicated salesperson for Sweden. With his expertise and knowledge of the mechanical forest and sawmill industry, Niska will focus on building strong relationships with customers and meeting their specific needs.

“The companies in Sweden represent a robust and dynamic market with significant growth potential,” says Niska, and continues, “Ferroplan recognizes the immense potential of the Swedish market and aims to capitalize on this opportunity by leveraging its expertise in providing specialized conveyor solutions. By offering innovative, reliable, and cost-effective solutions, Ferroplan is well-positioned to meet the evolving demands of Swedish forestry and sawmill companies.”

Ferroplan has gained a significant success in Finland by offering specialized conveyor solutions for over 40 years. These solutions have been instrumental in ensuring smooth and reliable material flow within customer operations, and they have expressed satisfaction with their investments in Ferroplan’s products.

“We are thrilled to embark on this new chapter of growth as we expand into the Swedish market. With our proven track record of delivering specialized conveyor solutions and exceptional service, we are confident that we can meet the customer needs and further develop our position in Sweden”, says Antti Rousku, CEO of Ferroplan.

Ferroplan looks forward to serving the Swedish market with the same dedication and commitment to excellence that has distinguished it in Finland for over four decades.

Release date: 07.03.2024

Ferroplan utökar sin verksamhet till den Svenska marknaden

Som en steg att stärka sin internationella närvaro Ferroplan informerar om sin expansion till den svenska marknaden av tunga transportörer avsedda för trä- och sågverksindustrin.

Men en solid grund i den Finska marknaden så äntrar man nu Sverige. Ett strategiskt kliv som går i linje med företagets mission att förse hela den nordiska marknaden med innovativa lösningar för transportörer.

Till att leda expansionen i Sverige har Ferroplan rekryterat Andreas Niska som kommer att arbeta med försäljning och affärsutveckling i Sverige. Med sin expertis och kunskap om skogs- och sågverksindustrin kommer Niska att fokusera på att bygga starka relationer för att tillgodose varje kunds specifika behov.

“Företagen i Sverige representerar en robust och dynamisk marknaden med stor potential”, säger Andreas och fortsätter ”Ferroplan har identifierat den stora potential den Svenska marknaden har och nu siktar vi på att kunna tillgodose en del av den potentialen genom vår expertis och erfarenhet från att leverera våra specialtransportörer. Genom att nu erbjuda våra innovativa, pålitliga och inte minst kostnadseffektiva lösningar även i Sverige så är vi väl positionerade för att möta de hårdare krav som trä- och sågverksindustrin ställer.

Ferroplan har haft stor framgång med sina produkter i Finland i över 40 år.. Dessa lösningar har varit avgörande för att säkerställa ett smidigt och pålitligt materialflöde i kundens operativa verksamhet, och detta har gett Ferroplan en lång och gedigen referenslista.

“Vi är exalterade att gå in i nästa kapitel av tillväxt när vi nu äntrar den Svenska marknaden. Med våra fina referenser från tidigare leveranser av specialtransportörer, skräddarsydda lösningar och exceptionell service så är vi trygga med att kunna möta kundernas behov och fortsätta utveckla vår position i Sverige”, säger Antti Rousku, CEO på Ferroplan.

Ferroplan ser fram mot att kunna erbjuda den Svenska marknaden samma enorma engagemang och hängivelse som har varit vårt adelsmärke i Finland i över 40 år.

Ferroplan Oy strengthens collaboration with Metsä Group with two significant deliveries to Äänekoski factory project.

PRESS RELEASE 12/2023
Ferroplan Oy
Julkaistaan 7.12.2023

Ferroplan Oy strengthens collaboration with Metsä Group with two significant deliveries to Äänekoski mill project.

Ferroplan Oy has announced two significant deliveries to Metsä Group’s new Kerto LVL mill in Äänekoski, reflecting the strong collaboration between these two leading players in their respective industries.

Ferroplan Oy has been selected to deliver a debarking and cutting line designed to handle sorted logs. Before debarking, the logs undergo thorough inspection to ensure high-quality raw material at the beginning of the process. After debarking, the logs are cut to specified lengths, and the resulting timber is transferred to the hatchery area.

In addition, Ferroplan Oy has signed an agreement to deliver a side product handling line. The line is designed to process various materials, including waste veneer, veneer core, and wood waste generated in production. Wood waste is processed on two lines, and after screening, the fractions are distributed to separate silos for future use.

”When we learned about Metsä Group’s new Äänekoski project, we realized that we have the best solution for these lines. During the bidding phase, a considerable time has been devoted to the factory’s planning, and the constructive spirit of the negotiations will undoubtedly be reflected in the outcome,” emphasizes Jyrki Rusinen, Sales Manager of Ferroplan’s sawmill and forest industry.

Valued at approximately 8 million euros, this delivery is the largest in Ferroplan’s history. Deliveries of the debarking and cutting line, and the side product handling line are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2025. The commissioning of the lines are planned for the end of the same year. This delivery strengthens Ferroplan’s position as a reliable partner for players in the forest industry and supports Metsä Group’s production in efficient material handling.

”We are proud to be selected for one of Metsä Group’s most significant current investment project. Ferroplan’s products and solutions are well-suited for the project, bringing efficiency and reliability to material handling. This order, the largest in our 40-year history, is a statement to Ferroplan’s ability to deliver large-scale solutions. Not flimsy”, says Antti Rousku, CEO of Ferroplan.

Seamless flow of goods at a plywood plant in Punkaharju

Seamless flow of goods at a plywood plant in Punkaharju

Ferroplan and Plytec joined forces to deliver a lay-up line, complete with a conveyor system, for Metsä Wood’s plywood mill in Punkaharju. For this joint project, Plytec supplied the lay-up line, while Ferroplan was responsible for the conveyors. The goal was to design a solution for transferring plywood stacks from the lay-up line to the pre-press and from there to a hot press, and to create a conveyor system that does not require a base pallet for the plywood stack.

  • ‘We worked together to find a solution that is based on an efficient conveyor system and that contributes to a seamless flow of goods,’ explains Tomi Virolainen, Plytec’s technology manager.
A strategically important partner

Ferroplan and Plytec have plenty of experience of working together under their belts. In their joint projects, the companies have been able to focus on their core areas of expertise, enabling them to operate efficiently as relatively small suppliers.

  • ‘Collaboration has been key to success for both companies. Ferroplan is a strategically important partner for us,’ Virolainen emphasises.

Ferroplan and Plytec have also collaborated efficiently on rectifying any problems identified after commissioning. It is not unusual that small technical changes have to be made in complex projects involving challenging circumstances, but the companies have always risen to the occasion and have broadened their expertise in the process.

Eliminating an undesirable work stage

The end client, Metsä Wood, was extremely happy with the result, after some fine-tuning. ‘The mill now has an efficient conveyor system, which enables the smooth transfer of goods.

  • The main benefit to us is that we managed to eliminate one step from the process when base pallets are no longer needed. Our previous conveyor system didn’t allow this. The new system also makes the line safer to operate,’ says Metsä Wood’s Mika Nousiainen.

Plytec and Ferroplan are already collaborating on a new, challenging project, designed for a client based in Latvia. The future looks bright for the collaboration partners!

Levypyörä hits the right note with streamlined operations

Levypyörä hits the right note with streamlined operations

Levypyörä is a steel structure and wheel specialist located in the town of Nastola, near Lahti. Ferroplan recently delivered the company an L-shaped conveyor system complete with conveyors, rotary table and an unloading unit obtained by Levypyörä. The new system was installed at the unloading end of Levypyörä’s paint shop.

The objective of the project was to create a single point for the unloading of products from the painting line and quality control, which previously necessitated constant painting line downtime. The new conveyor system provides a 30-minute buffer, during which the employee can complete the finishing, quality control and packaging steps of the final product – in this case heavy forestry vehicle wheels – without the need to hurry, according to the requirements of the quality specifications. Another objective was to enable continuous operation of the conveyor line in the painting unit to minimise turnaround time.

Increased productivity

Thanks to the new solution, Levypyörä’s production rates and paint shop yield have increased. More products can be handled in the same amount of time. No extra workload was caused to the users by the update, and especially the unloader now has more time to unload and inspect the products. The new system has also improved occupational safety.

All in all, Levypyörä is very satisfied with the delivery and the high-quality result.

  • Everything was completed on schedule, and the system has worked flawlessly from the first push of the button. The coating of the rollers used on the conveyor is also first-rate and has shown no signs of wearing, says Levypyörä’s production and human resources manager Isko Takala.
