Tykoflex continuously works towards a robust and sustainable supplier network that can better handle critical stages in the manufacturing process, such as various disruptions and increased demand. Tykoflex’s products often integrate into the critical infrastructure of society, where quality and delivery capability are crucial to the company’s success. In 2022, Tykoflex reviewed its supplier base for hot-dip galvanizing with the goal of stabilizing its production process through multiple galvanizers.

“We searched for suppliers both in Sweden and internationally and found Aurajoki. Its strong focus on sustainability, high capacity, good quality, and extensive knowledge of hot-dip galvanizing made the company an obvious choice for us,” says Kajsa Tengroth, Purchasing Manager at Tykoflex AB.

“We have noticed that Aurajoki has a strong desire to meet our requirements and openly listen to our requests and experiences. Aurajoki’s staff has extensive knowledge of hot-dip galvanizing, and we get our products with the right quality and high delivery reliability, which is essential for us at Tykoflex. From a business perspective, we have a good dialogue where both parties value good and long-term business relationships,” Tengroth continues.

Sustainability is a central part of Tykoflex’s operations, and the company strives to minimize environmental impact by using resources efficiently and responsibly.

“By prioritizing sustainable development, we at Tykoflex can not only contribute to a better world but also create long-term value for our stakeholders,” Tengroth describes.

“To achieve this, we need to collaborate with all our partners, especially our suppliers. Therefore, we always consider sustainability when looking for new suppliers. With Aurajoki’s partnership, we can ensure that our products are manufactured in a way that promotes sustainable development and minimizes negative environmental impacts.”

Tykoflex and Aurajoki have together demonstrated the importance of choosing a partner who shares the same values and goals. This collaboration not only improves production capacity and quality but also promotes sustainable development, which is crucial in today’s business world.
