Movax Expansion Completed

Our Finnish friends at Movax Oy the specialist piling equipment manufacturer have recently completed a major expansion to their facility in Hämeenlinna, Finland.

Privately owned company Movax, who were founded in 1993 are specialists in side grip vibratory piling technology, piling hammers, piling drills and control systems and have customers in over 60 countries, across 6 continents.

Following years of continued expansion and growth in the size of the company, in order to meet further demand for their products, the company has invested in an expansion to their factory, which includes a new south wing, work commenced in June 2021 and has recently been finished, increasing floor space from the original 6500m² to 7500m².

I last caught up with Movax during the Maxpo Show in Hyvinkää in 2019, where I was delighted to meet up with a fellow Englishman Jack Brogan, who has been out in Finland working for Movax for well over 3 years now, and totally living the Finnish dream by all accounts, the lucky guy!

Jack was keen to show me around and also demonstrated the Movax simulator which is used for operator training, which was impressive stuff!

I sincerely hope to be up in Finland again in May for the next instalment of the Maxpo Show following the return to normal life post Covid, and I will be certain to stop by the stand again.

The Movax team have produced a great video of the factory expansion works, which you can check out below.
