Ruukki Construction has focused on construction products and associated services under a strong brand. A more customer-driven Ruukki has improved profitability, and also allows major investments going forward.
“Our investments aim at sustainable growth by improving cost efficiency, flexibility and safety at work. For our customers, these investments will be reflected in products of even higher quality and better service capacity,” promises Sami Eronen, President of Ruukki Construction.
A more competitive Ruukki will serve not only delivery reliability but also broad delivery concepts in line with the principle of “All products and services from the same supplier”.
Fundamentals in good shape
In 2017-2020, Ruukki focused on operational excellence and improving profitability.
“This laid the groundwork for investments that will enable future growth. In 2021, the amount of investments at Ruukki will be significantly higher than in earlier years,” says Sami Eronen.
The new production line making rainscreen panels in the Pärnu plant in Estonia came on stream in September 2021. The investment of around €3 million shortens delivery times, increases manufacturing capacity and broadens the product offering.
Summer 2022 will see the completion on an around €8-million investment program at Plannja’s roofing plant in Järnforsen, Sweden. Great automation and new production lines will boost the plant’s competitiveness and the broader product offering will improve customer service.
Early 2022 will see the start-up of a new sandwich panel production line at the Oborniki plant in Poland. In addition to high quality, the investment of around €5 million will broaden the product offering and improve customer service through more flexible deliveries.
New investments on the horizon
Ruukki has a number of new strategic investments planned to raise the company’s competitiveness, customer service and safety to the next level. At the same time, the investments will ensure sustainable growth in the main market areas – supporting customer businesses. The investments also support Ruukki’s objective of accurate and extensive delivery concepts.
Future investments will be announced one at a time in the news section on Ruukki’s website.
