MARKET SPOTLIGHT
FINLAND
Highly automated and globally competitive, Finland is a strategic region for LVD.
Finland is a growth market for LVD, with one of Europe’s most highly automated and technologically advanced manufacturing sectors.
Manufacturing accounts for 87% of the country’s industrial production, with sheet metal fabricators serving diverse industries, including marine, defense, telecommunications and medical technology.
Automation on the rise
As labor costs increase, Finnish manufacturers are turning to automated machinery, intelligent production systems, and digital manufacturing technology for a competitive advantage. Batch sizes continue to decrease while the need for flexibility, high precision, short programming and setup times escalate.
ToolCell auto tool changing press brake and Robotic Bending Systems are key LVD products – with bending automation the number 1 LVD technology for the region.
Growing opportunity
A national government initiative is also advancing adoption of robotics, artificial intelligence and data-driven manufacturing – driving investment in smart factory digitalization.
This creates a strong opportunity to deliver solutions that go beyond individual machines – connecting production processes with software such as CADMAN® to drive efficiency and long-term value.
Expert advantage
Vossi Group has represented LVD since 2022. A family business with three decades of manufacturing expertise and offices throughout Finland, it offers the complete LVD line plus lifecycle services.
In the past two years, Vossi has installed several ToolCells, a Strippit QX-L punch-laser, and LVD’s first-ever Robotic Bending System.
A solutions-based, partnership approach is at the heart of the Vossi business model.
Perttu Lankinen, Vossi Product Manager:
“Our salespeople are technical experts with 20-30 years of industry experience. They understand the technology, advantages of automation, and have years of practical problem solving.
“We couple this with a strong lifecycle service team of 13 people geographically located in industrial areas. They are bright-minded, flexible, and capable, helping us build partnerships.
“For us what’s most important is that customers trust Vossi will provide the highest machine capacity available and enable the shortest payback time for their investment. We have a large long-term customer base, and some have invested in tens of machines from us to continuously improve their competitiveness.”
For Finland’s manufacturers, the future is digital, automated and increasingly connected. With the Vossi team, LVD is helping turn that future into reality – one smarter, more connected production floor at a time.
