Production and Quality to a Whole New Level

A study trip to Germany in March provided the future production and maintenance personnel of the hot-dip galvanizing plant in Lieto with a valuable opportunity to deepen their expertise and familiarize themselves with the new technologies to be used in our factory.

Valuable insights were gained from local employees and supervisors regarding the management of equipment and practical operations. The Aurajoki team found the trip extremely necessary, as it provided significant learning about the automated hot-dip galvanizing process, facilitating the commissioning of the Lieto plant and enabling us to serve our customers even better.

“The study trip was organized by Scheffer Krantechnik GmbH, the main supplier of the production equipment for the Lieto plant. The trip was inspiring, and seeing the automation and computer-assisted work particularly sparked interest and anticipation for the future,” says Mikko Mäkinen, Development Director of Aurajoki Oy.

As spring progresses and the commissioning approaches, both our current and new staff will be able to utilize the knowledge gained from the trip and familiarize themselves with the operation of the Lieto plant. The smoothness of the commissioning is crucial for both our staff and customers. This ensures that the plant’s start-up is smooth and efficient, allowing our environmentally friendly and technologically advanced plant to offer our customers the best service – efficiently, with high quality, and in a carbon-neutral manner.
