On 12–14 November, the international engineering supply and cooperation exhibition “Elmia Subcontractor 2024” will take place in Jönköping (Sweden), where this year, the experts of AS Latvijas Finieris Iekārtu rūpnīca will also participate, presenting the opportunities in woodworking equipment manufacturing.
“Elmia Subcontractor” is Sweden’s largest industrial supply and co-operation exhibition and has been held since 1975. Latvian companies have been participating since 2003. Each year, the exhibition attracts around 12 000 visitors and around 1000 companies from 25 countries.
The sectors represented at the exhibition include automotive component manufacturing, mechanical engineering and metalworking, machine and process tool manufacturing, plastics and rubber parts manufacturing, electronics and automation, design development and engineering.
Māris Bumbieris, Director of Iekārtu rūpnīca, says:
“This year, we would like to remind our Scandinavian partners of us by taking part because we are open to attracting new partners as we develop our production capacity, and Scandinavian partners are most suitable for us to cooperate with. During the exhibition, we will highlight machining parts as well as full-cycle machine projects. There is no doubt that events like this provide an opportunity to see how similar companies have developed and what we can learn for our own growth.”
For more than 20 years, Iekārtu rūpnīca has been the technical service centre of Latvijas Finieris, offering a wide range of services. The unit designs and manufactures veneer and plywood processing equipment of varying degrees of complexity, assembles, and carries out preventive diagnostics and servicing of this equipment throughout the Group, as well as the technical servicing and maintenance of fixed assets. Every year, new and unprecedented projects for non-standard production solutions are realised. Iekārtu rūpnīca plays an important role in the major projects of Latvijas Finieris.
In 2024, with an investment of more than two million euros, Iekārtu rūpnīca will house a new metalworking shop equipped with modern technologies. Its premises of 1300 m² are dedicated to the storage and pre-processing of metal raw materials – cutting, sawing and bending. There is also a specific, impressively sized shot blast chamber for processing steel surfaces.
