editorial One of the best ways to foresee the future is to create it Anssi Rantasalo CEO Year 2010 was a big success for Kemppi. We returned to the growth track and made progress in many areas. Our new subsidiary in Chennai, India was started and our entry to new areas like tailored arc welding processes (Wise), robotized Tandem-welding and automatic MagTrac-welding carriages created a lot of interest around the world. We sincerely thank all our customer and business partners, as well as the Kemppi staff for creating this success with us. Many important events take place in different parts of the world right now. The tsunami and the nuclear disaster that followed in Japan are re-shaping energy policies all over the world. There is unrest and uprising in many Arab countries based on demands for democracy. In Europe the main challenge is linked with financial problems of some Euro countries. All this has an impact on the general economic development and growth expectations. Uncertainty about the future is increasing again. A few years ago I read Stephen R. Covey’s book:”7 Habits of Highly Effective People”,. The author advises to focus on things that one can influence (”The Circle of Influence”) and to worry less about things that will happen anyway (“The Circle of Concern”). This is a good piece of advice right now, and here at Kemppi we follow it in many ways. We believe that our future competitiveness depends on investments that we make today. We have just finalized a three-year and 25 M€ investment program and taken into use the latest extension to our main assembly plant here in Lahti. It was our target to increase the productivity by a minimum of 10% and this target has been reached and in fact exceeded. This year we’ll employ new people to meet the needs of our R&D&I and Sales & Marketing activities and the number of our international staff continues to increase, especially on the developing markets in Russia, India and China. We believe that productivity is the main challenge also for our welding customers when they strive for increased competitiveness on global markets. We want to be a part of this development and actively contribute to increased welding productivity. This is why we have opened a new business unit called Welding Management Solutions (WMS). This group of experts will focus on developing and commercialising new tools and service concepts to support further development of welding production. This year we will also launch exiting new products. The Minarc Evo series introduced in Hannover at the end of last year has entered the market and in September we’ll see a great step forward in compact MIG/MAG equipment. In the meantime our magazine offers interesting reading and also a glimpse to the future… Enjoy your reading! Kemppi ProNews 2011 3
