In the second quarter of the year 2021, net sales of top hammer business grew by 22 per cent compared to the corresponding period.
The expansion of Robit's production floor in Lempäälä, Finland, will add approximately 750m2 of floor space. The former storage space will be reserved for the production of down-the-hole and geotechnical products, while a new storage space of approximately 650m2 will be built to replace the former one. Also, as a result of the expansion, top hammer and down-the-hole production will be divided into separate production units. The expansion also includes investments in machine tools and automation.
The investments of South Korea's Hwaseong unit concern machinery investments as well as robotics and automation. These investments ensure deliveries will meet the demand as well as enable competitive complete deliveries for top hammer products produced in Finland.
The new production areas in Lempäälä reach their full capacity by the end of 2021. In South Korea, the full capacity is reached early 2022.
Robit's top hammer investments enable a capacity increase in the production's essential points, which have turned into a bottleneck of the production due to the increased sales. The investments will enable a significant increase in overall delivery ability and growth.
With these investments, Robit ensures improved service levels to meet the growing demand from its distributors and end customers.
