15 AUGUST 2021 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Continued Growth for Robit Robit has purchased a product invention and related patents from Tri-Mach Oy, a Finnish company manufacturing piling products. This novelty applies particularly in drilling and installing large piles. As the current trend indicates, the pile diameters are increasing up to 6½ feet. Robit believes this innovation will fit well in the current market and provide significant benefits. The company has started a pilot project to launch the product in the market and will initiate product tests in cooperation with its key customers. The company also announced its decision to expand the production of top hammer and down-the-hole consumables in its factory located in Lempäälä, Finland. The expansion will add more than 8000 square feet of floor space. As a result, top hammer and down-the-hole production will be divided into separate production lines. The new production area is expected to reach its full capacity this fall.
