The surface treatment operation in Hiab’s Stargard
multi-assembly unit and its associated professionals will transfer
to FSP under their current employment conditions. The purpose of
the agreement is to intensify the cooperation between Hiab and FSP
so that the parties can focus on their own core competencies and
improve business development.
For several years, FSP has been responsible for the surface
treatment of Hiab’s MULTILIFT products in Finland. We have had an
intense collaboration and established joint investments with Hiab.
FSP is seeking international growth. ‘Thus, intensifying the
collaboration further with Hiab was an anticipated consequence’,
said FSP’s Chief Executive Officer Jarno Huttunen.
The new partnership will ensure Hiab continues with the latest
in desired processes and technology. The facilities are equipped
with a modern, cutting edge anti-corrosion treatment production
line with an option for e-coating. The number of our personnel in
Poland now consists of over a hundred professionals. These factors
will provide us with more prospects in the future and enhance our
resilience. This of course upgrades FSP’s service level in Poland,
Huttunen continued. The multi-assembly unit is in the city of
Stargard, in Poland.
The extension of the cooperation between the two giants
creates a competitive advantage in surface treatment quality and
technological leadership.
