In large industrial projects, fastener availability is a critical competitive advantage

Industrial requirements across the energy, process, offshore, and engineering sectors are evolving rapidly. As equipment, structures, and production facilities become larger and more complex, the demands placed on fastening solutions continue to increase.

To meet these growing requirements, we have commissioned a world-class screw manufacturing cell at our Virtai facility. This investment significantly expands our capability to produce large-diameter screws and rolled threads while strengthening our position as a trusted domestic partner for demanding industrial projects.

Supporting major projects in Finland and worldwide

Industrial projects are increasing in scale both in Finland and internationally. Equipment is larger, loads are heavier, and project schedules are tighter than ever before.

With our new manufacturing cell, we can produce rolled threads up to M130 and substantially increase the domestic production capacity of large fasteners. This size range is highly specialized, with only limited manufacturing capacity available worldwide.

For our customers, this means improved availability, shorter lead times, and greater supply security for critical fastening components.

Investing in future growth

We expect this investment to play a significant role in supporting our growth in the years ahead. At the same time, it reinforces our position as a leading manufacturer of special fasteners in both the Finnish and international markets.

More broadly, the investment reflects our long-term vision. We believe in domestic manufacturing, technical expertise, and anticipating our customers’ future needs. We are committed to investing in the capabilities required to support increasingly demanding industrial applications.

When even small components have a big impact

In large industrial projects, the value of an individual fastener may represent only a small fraction of the overall investment. However, uncertainty in the availability of critical fastening components can halt deliveries, delay installations, and generate substantial additional costs.

That is why customers need more than a supplier. They need a partner capable of delivering the right products, at the right time, with full documentation and verified quality.

Our new manufacturing cell further strengthens our ability to meet these expectations, particularly in large dimensions, demanding materials, and project-specific deliveries.

The entire manufacturing chain under one roof

The new production cell enables us to manage the entire manufacturing process—from material reception and thread rolling to non-destructive testing (NDT), packaging, and delivery.

For customers, this translates into greater control, transparency, and reliability. When the entire manufacturing chain is managed by a single partner, quality assurance, traceability, and delivery performance become easier to manage and verify.

A clear signal to the market

This manufacturing cell represents one of the largest investments in our company’s history. Beyond increasing capacity, it sends a clear message to the market: Memar is prepared to meet the growing demands of industrial customers today and in the future.

As industrial projects continue to grow in scale and complexity, fastening solutions must evolve alongside them. With this investment, we have taken the next step toward a market where success is defined not only by price, but by manufacturing capability, delivery reliability, quality, and the ability to solve even the most demanding customer challenges.

Memar Oy invests in a world-class screw manufacturing cell

As part of our continued development, we have invested in a new screw cell at our Virrat facility that stands out as exceptionally robust, even on an international scale. The investment further strengthens our already diverse screw manufacturing operations and significantly boosts overall production capacity.

“Internship Workplace of the Year” award

Our Virrat factory received an award as the “Internship Workplace of the Year” from Virrat Tredu. The votes were cast by the local interns who have completed an internship at Memar Ltd.’s Virrat Factory. The interns appreciated the warm welcome, diverse work tasks, and smooth cooperation. We are delighted that our efforts to create a comfortable work environment are recognised among the interns. When the owner, Mr Aki Kangas, received the award, he noted that interns do not need to be young these days; learning is a lifelong process, and one can even be close to retirement while still learning and adopting new processes and practices!
