HISTORY
History
Established in 1984, Premekon Ltd. began as an engineering company for welded steel structures, but specialised in the beginning of the 90s in the manufacture of industrial service platforms. Design is still the strength of Premekon, and this allows our clients to be provided with easy solutions, such as turnkey delivery. A large part of Premekon’s products were delivered to pulp and paper mills around the world.

In the development project, the focus was in optimising aluminium structures’ production methods. By optimising this, the production’s lead time could be reduced and effectiveness increased.
Joonas Pekkanen, Master’s thesis 2012: Design of Supporting Modular Frame Structure
The Master’s thesis’s focus was to develop a functioning modular steel frame structure with basic solutions especially for big and uniform working platform structures.
Ville Aitta, Master’s thesis 2013: Robotic Welding of Thin Walled Tubes
The aim of the thesis was to clarify the possible uses of robotised welding in the production of industrial rails and enhancing its effectiveness.
Tuomas Liukkonen, Master’s thesis 2014: Requirements for Metals and Welded Structures in Arctic Conditions
The Master’s thesis examined the special requirements for welded structures in the Arctic regions of Norway and Russia both in terms of production and certification.
Improving the business process of the employees and the office and identifying unprofitable work. The aim was to enhance the working of the employees and reduce idle time and delays resulting from it.
Jarkko Kontio, Engineer thesis 2009: Improving the Prefabrication of Steel Platforms
The thesis researched the productivity of the steel working platform prefabrication line and improved its efficiency.
Improving welding methods 2007
Improving the automation of welding and methods of mechanisation in collaboration with Lappeenranta Technical University.
Improving performance analysis system 2008–2009
Improved analysis system includes currently all the company’s performances and enables the evaluation of production effectiveness and productivity.
Product development for different sectors’ special needs and to diversify product selection 2009
