01/08/2021

The Board of Directors has initiated a number of actions to boost the development of the Ursviken Group. The aim of the strategy is to make the best possible use of the strengths and potential of the two industrial entities of the Group, Ursviken Technology and Pivatic, and to strengthen our competitive position in the markets.

As a concrete step in this strategy, Mr. Jan Tapanainen has been nominated as CEO of Pivatic Oy. He will report directly to the board of the Ursviken Group. Mr. Tapanainen has over 17 years of international experience in the sheet metal machine tools industry. Last five years he has worked with companies subcontracting and manufacturing industrial products.

Mr. Mika Virtanen and the management team of Pivatic as well as Mr. Jamie Sims of Ursviken Inc will report to Mr. Tapanainen. Mr. Tomas Johansson will focus on his role as CEO of Ursviken Technology AB.

During autumn 2020, the strategies of Ursviken and Pivatic have been updated and both companies are looking for significant growth after the Covid-19 epidemic. According to the new strategy, Pivatic is developing new innovative solutions for selected business segments to offer their customers fast return on their investments, ensuring first-class customer satisfaction with strong project management and product lifetime aftersales services. In the new strategy, the company will increase attention to personnel development to support the growth of the coming years and will focus on improve efficient deliveries of the systems.

These changes became effective on 4th of January, 2021.


Hallitus on käynnistänyt useita toimia Ursviken-konsernin kehityksen edistämiseksi. Strategian tavoitteena on hyödyntää konsernin kahden teollisen yksikön, Ursviken Technologyn ja Pivaticin, vahvuuksia ja potentiaalia parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla sekä vahvistaa kilpailuasemaamme markkinoilla.

Konkreettisena askeleena tässä strategiassa, Jan Tapanainen on nimitetty Pivatic Oy: n toimitusjohtajaksi. Hän raportoi suoraan Ursviken-konsernin hallitukselle. Jan Tapanaisella on yli 17 vuoden kansainvälinen kokemus ohutlevytyöstökoneista ja -järjestelmistä. Viimeisen viiden vuoden ajan hän on toiminut johtavissa asemissa sopimusvalmistus- ja omia tuotteita valmistamissa teollisissa yrityksissä.

Pivatic Oy:n General Manager Mika Virtanen ja johtoryhmä sekä yhdysvaltalaisen Ursviken Inc.:n General Manager Jamie Sims raportoivat jatkossa Jan Tapanaiselle. Tomas Johansson keskittyy rooliinsa Ursviken Technology AB:n toimitusjohtajana.

Syksyn 2020 aikana Pivaticin ja Ursvikenin strategiat on päivitetty, ja yhtiöt hakevat tulevina vuosina merkittävää kasvua Covid-19-epidemian jälkeen. Pivaticin uudistetun strategian mukaisesti yhtiö kehittää uusia, innovatiivisia ratkaisuja valituille liiketoimintasegmenteille tarjotakseen asiakkailleen sijoitetun pääoman nopean tuoton. Pivatic varmistaa ensiluokkaisen asiakastyytyväisyyden vahvalla projektinhallinnalla ja tuotteiden elinkaaren aikaisilla palveluilla. Uudistetussa strategiassa yhtiö lisää panostuksiaan henkilöstön kehittämiseen tukeakseen seuraavien vuosien kasvua sekä keskittyy parantamaan projektien tehokasta valmistusta, kokoonpanoa ja toimituksia.

Muutokset astuivat voimaan 4. tammikuuta 2021.

Discover Innovations by Vaski and Pivatic at EuroBLECH 2024

Vaski and Pivatic will be co-participating at EuroBLECH 2024, showcasing our latest advancements in sheet metal and flat bar processing. You can find us at two stands: 11-E136 for sheet metal solutions and 11-G15 for flat bar innovations.

At our sheet metal stand, we are proud to introduce the new Vaski-PivaPunch line solution The PivaPunch machines at the core of this solution utilize direct material flow to maximize productivity. Designed specifically for product families and symmetrical parts, PivaPunch machines ensure that each step in the production process is streamlined for speed and precision.

Enhancing Productivity in Sheet Metal Punching

In the realm of sheet metal fabrication, the efficiency of tooling systems plays a pivotal role in enhancing overall productivity. Utilizing advanced tooling solutions such as Pivatic quick tool change system, which is featured in all PivaPunch lines, can significantly streamline operations. Tools for different product families can be changed very efficiently to reduce downtime and enhance throughput. This capability is essential for manufacturers aiming to maintain flexibility in production without sacrificing speed or quality. PivaPunch can handle various material types and thicknesses, accommodating up to 6 mm thick steel strip also as pre-painted, plastic-covered, galvanized, or cold-rolled.

Pivatic: The Future of Bending Technology

In sheet metal fabrication, integrating automated systems represents a significant leap forward in manufacturing efficiency and product quality. Traditional methods, which often involve manual labor and standalone machines, are increasingly being replaced by integrated solutions that streamline the entire production process. This shift enhances the speed of production and drastically reduces the potential for human error, leading to a higher standard of product consistency and quality.
At the forefront of this innovation are systems like the PivaSystem, which combine punching, cutting, and bending operations into a single streamlined process. This integration allows for the handling of various production stages without the need to transfer materials between different machines. The result is a seamless flow from one process to the next, minimizing handling time, reducing material waste, and optimizing floor space usage.
