From a single component to a complete product

Customers often ask us if we have the capability or capacity to manufacture a specific item. We find it hard to say no, as our company is driven by a desire to find solutions. Our track record in finding solutions is evident in our production operations, where we manufacture thousands of highly diverse components for our customers every year.

We produce some components as one-offs, while others are manufactured in large batches. We also handle assembly work.

Versatile production requires efficient manufacturing

Manufacturing thousands of different products and solving customer challenges requires continuous development on our part. We cannot afford to waste our own time or that of our customers. This has driven us to invest in machinery and software that minimize setup times and significantly accelerate lead times.

Expertise requires professional skill and pride in one’s work

The latest technology is of no use without skilled professionals. Our employees have the opportunity to learn new skills and participate in developing both our production processes and the manufacturing methods for our customers’ products. This requires genuine enthusiasm and an interest in the field. Our employees possess extensive, diverse expertise in machining and a genuine passion for the machinery and the work itself.

Quality is created through everyday actions—manufacturing products that are dimensionally accurate and meet specifications is the responsibility of every employee.

We partner with designers

Manufacturing technologies are evolving rapidly. That is why we are always ready to collaborate with our customers to identify and implement the best possible manufacturing method. Many collaborative discussions have resulted in better products or components that are easier to manufacture. Product development is particularly crucial when dealing with complex or demanding parts and components.

At the heart of the energy cluster – among specialized experts

Vaasa may be a small city, but the companies in the region are world-class players in the energy sector. A major cluster has emerged in the area, comprising companies that specialize in specific manufacturing technologies. These companies collaborate closely, with each focusing on its own core competencies and investing in the latest technology and expertise. The cluster enables the production of top-quality goods because investments and the development of specialized skills are distributed across multiple companies. The cluster also embodies green values; environmental impact is reduced through factors such as minimized transportation and packaging needs. Kilkanen is part of the Leinolat Group, and its subsidiaries are also part of this network. In its manufacturing operations, Kilkanen leverages the expertise of both internal group resources and external specialists.
