Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is Jokioinen Wire Factory Ltd?

Jokioinen Wire Factory Ltd is a Finnish manufacturer of wire and metal mesh, with roots dating back to 1804. The company continues over two hundred years of proud traditions and is known for its high-quality steel wire products. The factory is located in Jokioinen, Kanta-Häme, and produces various wires and welded meshes from wire rod (hot-rolled steel). A versatile machinery base and in-house product development enable the company to meet even the most demanding customer needs, making Jokioinen Wire Factory a reliable Finnish operator in wire products.

How does Jokioinen Wire Factory manufacture its wires, and what materials does it use?

Jokioinen Wire Factory manufactures its wire products mainly by cold-drawing steel wire to make it thinner. The raw material used is hot-rolled low-carbon steel wire rod, which is mechanically drawn until the desired wire thickness is achieved. The cold-drawing process increases the strength and hardness of the wire and improves its diameter accuracy. If softer wire is required, the wire can be annealed (heat-treated) after drawing, which restores its flexibility.

During the manufacturing process, different types of wire are produced: bright drawn wire is hard and has a shiny surface, while annealed wire is softer and easier to bend. Hot-dip galvanized wire has a zinc coating on the surface, providing excellent protection against rust, and in plastic-coated wire, a weather-resistant PVC coating is compressed onto the steel wire for additional protection.

Is Jokioinen Wire Factory a domestic company?

Yes – Jokioinen Wire Factory Ltd is a truly domestic company. The company’s factory is located in Jokioinen, Kanta-Häme, and all wire products are manufactured in Finland. Jokioinen Wire Factory supplies wire and wire products to domestic hardware stores and serves the needs of Finnish industry extensively, which emphasizes its position as a fully Finnish manufacturer. The company employs local labor and continues, in its part, the long tradition of Finnish industry.

How does Jokioinen Wire Factory take responsibility and sustainable development into account in its operations?

Jokioinen Wire Factory places a strong emphasis on responsibility and environmental friendliness in its operations. In the spring of 2020, the company installed a solar power plant with 534 solar panels on the roof of its production facility, which is one of the largest solar power systems in Kanta-Häme. This solar power plant produces approximately 150 MWh of clean electricity annually and at best covers up to 20 % of the factory’s yearly electricity consumption.

In addition, in recent years the company has made significant investments in measures that improve the environment, such as enhancing wastewater treatment and developing production processes to be even more ecological. The transition to renewable energy and process improvements are part of Jokioinen Wire Factory’s efforts toward cleaner, sustainable domestic production. The company also seeks to steer the steel industry in a greener direction and to set an example in responsible manufacturing.
