On February 8^th, 2018, Robit Plc held a grand opening ceremony to mark the completion of its major productional investment in South Korea. The new production facility is located in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-Do, South Korea.

Local politicians attended the opening ceremony together with a crowd of stakeholders. Harri Sjöholm, Robit Plc’s chairman of the Board, expressed his thoughts: “Korea has been a really positive surprise for Robit. Korea has been an excellent place for manufacturing drill steels. Therefore, it was easy to make the decision for the new investment. Robit has manufacturing units in Finland, the UK, the U.S. and Australia. Out of these, the Korean unit was clearly the best unit last year. I want to thank our Korean team for the excellent work.”

The new major productional facility is to meet even better the growing demand for rods and shanks of Top Hammer product line. Hwaseong production increases significantly the manufacturing capacity in South Korea as well as the automation level of the production of rod and shank products. In addition, the throughput time will be significantly shortened, which improves the delivery capability and service level to customers. The new production facility has been built close to Seoul, which further improves logistical connections.

The Hwaseong production facility is one of Robit Group’s 6 manufacturing plants each one having its own focus ensuring good availability of products and service while enabling efficiency as well as supporting future growth.
