Outsource the manufacturing of your sheet metal products – Leimec has decades of experience in manufacturing
Leimec Ltd has optimized the manufacturing process of sheet metal products, from product manufacturing to customer packaging. The best-known product manufactured by the company is the Bobi mailbox and parcel box, for which Leimec has been responsible for over three decades. Since autumn 2022, Bobi.com is part of the Leinolat Group. Leimec also develops solutions for transforming traditionally welded steel products into sheet metal products.
"First and foremost, we always consider the needs of the customer. Often, the products are not yet ready for manufacturing.Through just one meeting, we can evaluate the most sensible approach to manufacturing the product. Switching to sheet metal as the manufacturing material is a cost-effective solution that saves time and reduces costs," says Jukka Hakamaa, CEO of Leimec.
Decades of experience in manufacturing can be seen in production management, development, and quality maintenance.
"Once we have standardized a product, its lead time is short, and the quality remains high. We can also optimize our production and identify necessary practices to achieve and maintain quality," says Aleksi Hyyriö, supervisor at Leimec.
Quality and efficient subcontracting as competitive advantages
Even after decades of collaboration in manufacturing, products can and should be continuously developed, taking both the customer and the end user into consideration.
"We adopt new manufacturing techniques if they benefit us, our customers, and the end user. The end user may not necessarily notice a difference in the product's appearance, but our goal is to create a higher-quality product. Extending the lifespan of our manufactured products not only benefits us but also has positive implications for the environment," says Hakamaa.
Leimec Ltd. has built an excellent subcontracting network through years of work, enabling cost-effective manufacturing of product components or painting.
"With our extensive subcontracting network, we are able to offer our customers the best possible service. Due to our manufacturing experience, we know how to demand high quality from our subcontractors and negotiate solutions that benefit our customers both in terms of price and manufacturing," adds Hyyriö.
100% recycling if waste is generated
Product development and optimizing manufacturing to minimize material usage and utilize generated waste have a crucial role in the company's sustainability.
"By minimizing waste, we reduce manufacturing costs. We save and reuse our minimal waste within the factory whenever possible. For example, we make moldings from suitable leftover pieces. And if waste cannot be utilized elsewhere, we ensure complete recycling of the metal."
"In addition, we can contribute to sustainability by optimizing our shipments. We pack outgoing products tightly and order only full loads," Hyyriö adds.
Leimec is part of the Leinolat Group, and the group's other companies include Bobi.com, Kilkanen, T-DRILL, and Uwira. Together, these companies offer highly demanding and comprehensive service solutions in the metal industry.
