Sandvik Mining and Construction Oy is establishing a massive conveyor component factory to South-America. The factory should be up and running in during the summer. The new thing with the factory is the production line, which bases on laser technology. The co-operation between Sandvik and Laserplus Oy started a couple of years ago at the Subcontracting fair in Tampere. At that time Sandvik was thinking about a differentiation method for the South-American markets. According to Asko Kankaanpää the new technology enables an advanced production line and products with superior quality compared with competitors.

An expert as versatile as Laserplus is hard to find, says Kankaanpää.
