PEMA welding automation solutions for the offshore wind energy sector.
The Finnish family-owned welding and production automation provider, Pemamek Ltd., has announced investments in factory expansion and product development. The investment decision has been further supported by the received orders from the wind energy industry during spring 2022 and by the growing demand for heavy industry robot solutions.
"Factors such as green transition and energy self-sufficiency have significantly increased the interest in wind energy," said Pemamek's CEO, Juha Mäkitalo. "Also, the sizes of offshore wind tower constructions are growing. As an example, the diameter of a tower foundation can be over 15 meters. Currently, there is no manufacturing capacity for structures of this size. Thus, tower and foundation manufacturers are required to invest in new, larger-scale production solutions."
"In addition to the shipbuilding and wind energy sectors, demand for heavy industry robot solutions is growing. Finnish technology expertise is appreciated worldwide, and we are eager to further strengthen its role in the global heavy fabrication industry," said Pemamek's Vice Chairman of the Board and Director of Global Sales, Jaakko Heikonen.
Pemamek's latest factory expansion was finished in 2017. Now, the factory totals 20,000 square meters. The upcoming expansion will bring 7,000 square meters more of manufacturing, assembly and office space. The new premises will be ready for production use during the last quarter of 2022. Once ready, the entire factory area will total 27,000 square meters.
The new investment increases Pemamek's need to recruit an additional workforce. By the end of the year, the company is looking to hire 40 new employees.
