50 years of partnership between a man and a welding machine
22 giugno 2016
In the 1960s, there was a huge shortage of professional welders in Finnish growth centers. That is why Keijo Olkoniemi, whose career as a welder has lasted for almost 50 years, trained to become a welder, a profession which has offered him challenges throughout his career. ”I remember when they said at the dockyard in Hietaniemi, Helsinki that you can bring a train full of skillful employees, and we will hire them all,” Olkoniemi says, laughing.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.

Eurosatory 2026 e il futuro dell'industria della difesa
Eurosatory 2026 ha messo in luce un netto cambiamento nel settore della produzione moderna nel campo della difesa. Sebbene i sistemi di difesa stiano diventando sempre più digitali, interconnessi ed autonomi, la loro base rimane fisica. Dai veicoli corazzati all’artiglieria, passando per la resilienza industriale, la qualità della saldatura, le strutture in acciaio e la disciplina produttiva rimangono fondamentali per la prontezza operativa nel settore della difesa.
