Harri Sjöholm, Robit Plc's chairman of the board said, "Korea has been a really positive surprise for Robit. Korea has been an excellent place for manufacturing drill steels. Therefore, it was easy to make the decision for the new investment. Robit has manufacturing units in Finland, UK, USA, and Australia. Out of these, Korean unit was clearly the best unit last year. I want to thank our Korean team for the excellent work." The new facility will be able to meet the growing demand for rods and shanks of the company’s top hammer product line. In addition, the turnaround time will be significantly shortened, improving the delivery capability and service level to customers. The new production facility has been built close to Seoul, which also improves logistical connections. The Hwaseong production facility is one of Robit Group's six manufacturing plants, each having its own focus to ensure availability of products and services, while enabling efficiency and future growth. The company has top hammer production lines in Finland and South Korea, as well as a down-the-hole production line in Australia, UK, and USA.
