Tomi Ojala, Managing Director, said:

“We have over the years experienced the challenges of high mix-low volume production and made some considerable investments in production and in-sourced some of the key activities that help us reach our customers OTD requirements.”

Based on a recent customer survey Polarteknik is a well-known company in its field. Altogether 96% of the respondents stated that they knew Polarteknik. In respondents’ open comments Polarteknik was seen as a professional and reliable company, commended for its customer focus, with good quality products, expertise and an efficient way to operate.

Although supply chain performance is important, where Polarteknik really excels is innovation. We are constantly looking for ways to make the product perform better and provide additional value to different stakeholders.

We are looking into new materials and components and into developing a new control unit to facilitate predictive maintenance and IoT needs even better.

Mika Korhonen, Business Development Director, said:

“We have had data collection for years in new fleets but now we want to provide the same value to older fleets by offering a system that can be retrofitted into older doors as an upgrade or overhaul. We have more than 50,000 Polarteknik-built doors out there that could benefit from an upgrade.”
