History

1989

Lievestuoreen Metallimiehet Oy was founded in Lievestuore, Central Finland.

1991

Lievestuoreen Metallimiehet Oy was acquired by Pertti Hyppönen. Production was directed toward manufacturing piping systems, silencers, and fuel tanks. The main customers were the manufacturer of Finnish SISU-trucks and several spare-part distributors. Operations continued in the original 300 m² facilities with a team of four people.

1995

We moved to larger 600 m² production facilities located half a kilometer from the previous site.

1996

We invested in our first CNC-controlled tube bending machine. This marked the beginning of our production modernization and enabled the company’s growth. Following the investment, we hired two new employees and our turnover increased.

2000

We began our cooperation with Valtra in the manufacturing of piping systems, strengthening Lievestuoreen Metallimiehet’s position as a subcontractor in the vehicle industry.

2002

A 600 m² expansion was completed, increasing our total production space to 1,200 square meters.

2003

We invested in our first laser cutting machine and press brake, bringing new capabilities and improved precision to our production.

2017

The largest facility expansion in our history to date. We purchased a modern 2,100 m² hall located along Highway 9. In addition to our own production, the premises also house Jyväs Pakari’s café, shop, and lunch restaurant as tenants.

2018

Our production was divided between two locations, and we invested in a second laser cutting machine to increase production capacity.

2019

We certified our welding system according to the ISO 3834-2 standard.
