Kemppi’s revolutionary evolution in welding Last year, our sales volume continued growing considerably, and this is thanks to you, our customers. We thank you for your trust in our products and services. For a few years now, the sales volume has been growing, presenting us with many challenges. One of them is the arrangements for our production facilities. To meet the needs of the future, we are expanding our production facility in Lahti, Finland. This is a €15 million investment project that includes the construction of a new industrial facility and the expansion of the current one during 2008 and 2009. ‘Kemppi evolution’ is a continuous process in the world of welding. 30 years ago, we were the fi rst in the world to introduce welding inverters on the market, creating a standard for the welding-solution manufacturing industry. Our next evolutionary step was the fi rst digitally controlled Kemppi Pro welding solution with its new control panel solutions. It was launched 15 years ago. Customer orientation has always been the basis for the usability of our products. It was noted in 2006 as we were the fi rst welding equipment manufacturer to receive the internationally esteemed Red Dot design award. Now, Kemppi evolution is reaching a new generation that understands the customer even more and provides unique solutions. Today’s common denominator in the industry is productivity. Many companies are pondering on means to solve the productivity equation also when it comes to welding. Automation is usually off ered as the productivity solution. However, welding today and also in the future is mostly manual work. On this basis, Kemppi has for years now studied the potential for increasing manual welding profi tability. Our solution is customised arcs, such as the FastROOT, and the Kemppi Arc System, which solves the customers’ productivity equation with versatile, tailored solution alternatives. You can fi nd more information on these solutions and customer examples in this issue of our customer magazine. Motorsports is still an important part of Kemppi’s sponsoring, and the latest news from this front can be found in this year’s fi rst issue of Kemppi ProNews. Kemppi is also visible in the master class of motorsports, as we are one of the Force India Formula One Team sponsors. Our logo will be prominently displayed in Force India’s cars in the F1 races driven around the world. The results of the Kemppi Formula One World Welding Competition arranged last year and the welded car models can also be seen in the motorsports section of this magazine. The new products introduced are the MasterTig MLS 3000 ACDC and its unique productivityincreasing features, the MicroTack and MIX TIG functions. Additionally, the Kemppi Arc Timer is an interesting device in its simplicity, and it can be the fi rst step towards increasing manual welding productivity. I wish all readers useful and enjoyable moments with the articles of this magazine.
