We are happy to welcome Heidi Sederholm into our growing team as a new Quality Manager.
Ensuring the best possible quality to our partners is one of our goals and continuous development of the quality processes is something we consider a high priority.
Our sponsorship with mountain runner Susanna Saapunki (Team Scarpa) started this spring, and we have been thrilled to follow her success throughout the summer as she has been racing in Italy, Austria and France.
We had a chance to interview Susanna and our employees were asked to phrase the questions for her. We got many interesting and practical questions about mountain running races as well as training, preparing and recovery. Read here how Susanna answered our questions!
Norrhydro will be on display at the Technology 2021 fair on 9.-11.11.2021.
Meet us at our exhibition stand 6n70 to hear more about the latest product development insights and the progress of our new production facility.
The ceremony of the foundation stone masonry was held in sunny Rovaniemi and witnessed by the special guests of various stakeholders on the spot. In the keynote speech, the importance of the new production facility was emphasized by Juhani Kangas, the Chairman of the Board of Norrhydro. According to Juhani the new facility is highly important to the international growth and launch of NorrDigiTM. CEO Markku Mäkiaho from OP Corporate Bank congratulated Norrhydro on the significant project and praised how fluent the collaboration has been.
The Norrhydro Product Development Team in Tampere was reinforced in June as an Italian mechanical engineer Ashley Delizzos started working for us.
Having recently graduated from the University of Parma (Italy), Ashley's first contact with Finland was while he completed an internship at Tampere University and Aalto University for his master's thesis. His interest in hydraulics increased after doing a thesis on the hydraulic model of an excavator. “I am amazed how only by moving fluid in a timely manner it is possible to move a complex machine like an excavator”, explains Ashley.
Norrhydro Oy will start a factory project worth approx. 15 million euro, which will enable doubling the current production capacity, once all the investments have been completed. In the first step the production capacity will be increased with 30% and CO2 emissions will be reduced even with 20% annually, compared to current factory. The new production facility will be built in the new industry area of Rovaniemi and the site will enable nearly 4 times higher capacity in long term than the current capacity. The construction work is supposed to start in May 2021 and the relocation of the production into the new facility will happen during the year 2022. Within the next years Norrhydro will create over 100 new industrial jobs in Rovaniemi along the new production facility and increased capacity in Rovaniemi within the next years.
Volvo Construction Equipment and Finland’s Norrhydro have developed a digital hydraulic actuator that increases productivity while radically cutting fuel bills and CO2 emissions in construction applications. If widely adopted, it could help the industry meet its sustainability ambitions while at the same time improving machine performance.
For the Purchasing Manager, success in supplier onboarding most often comes down to four important areas:
The keys to successful supplier onboarding are partnership and cooperation. To truly help you reach your goals, the supplier needs to be able to demonstrate, not only the capability to deliver the specified level of quality in set schedule, but also their commitment to building long-term partnerships.
For the Purchasing Manager, quick and efficient supplier onboarding most often comes down to succeeding in four important areas:
Kemi and Tornio are known as strong industrial regions, but there are notable industrial companies and extensive expertise to be found elsewhere in Lapland as well. Based in Rovaniemi, Norrhydro has become one of the top companies in Finland in the production of hydraulic cylinders, and is now gearing up to respond to growing demand with major investments.
