In addition to the dramatically reduced size and weight of welding equipment and significantly improved welding characteristics, inverter technology has made it possible to reduce energy consumption up to 80% in MMA welding, compared to traditional transformer technology.
This innovation has over the years made a remarkable environmental impact.
The Kemppi arc welding equipment business over the last 4 years has enjoyed very strong growth, and this growth continues today.
Kemppi Oy, together with the parent company Kemppi Capital Oy, will invest about 15M Euro during the next 2-3 years in a brand new 8,500m2 electronics factory and a 3,500m2 expansion of its headquarters in Lahti, Finland, including a logistics terminal and welding technology research centre.
