Welded for charity

18. februar 2020

A teenager's welding hobby often leads to a profession, but sometimes it can provide a better future for someone else. This happened to Janne Juntunen from Kajaani, Finland. For almost a year, he welded a custom motorcycle to be drawn as a charity raffle prize. The profit of the raffle will be used to support free time motor vehicle workshops for the youth, which often act as a kick-start to working life for youngsters aged between 14 and 21 years.

Welding instructors – true chameleons

From Slovakia to China, Saudi Arabia to Mexico, through Israel and all over Finland. These are some of the many places where his work has taken Jarkko Anttonen. Anttonen is one of the welding instructors in the Welding Services team at Kemppi. They're based in the Application Training Center at the Kemppi headquarters in Lahti, Finland. But as you can see, Anttonen's list of travel destinations is long. You could say that a welding instructors' actual workplace is basically the whole world.

Rapid Welding has worked with Kemppi since the company opened in 1990.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks

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.
