Saimatec Engineering Oy, founded 1981 by Seppo Rasimus

Saimatec was started as an engineering consultancy, operating in co-operation with workshop companies which produced the products designed by Saimatec.

• Original business area was roll wrapping systems for pulp&paper mills, but many different products were designed on a contract basis, too.

• Gradually over the 1980's own manufacturing activities and turn-key deliveries were started, and operations were focused on sector of roll wrapping and handling.
