Crafting Metal Solutions: The HSJ-Products Success Story
HSJ-Products is a Finnish company headquartered in the town of Lillby, among verdant fields and sprawling pine forests, 30 km from the Gulf of Bothnia the northernmost arm of the Baltic Sea. It specializes in crafting custom metal solutions. From inception to delivery, they manage the entire manufacturing process, ensuring top-notch service and fostering enduring client relationships.
“HSJ Products was founded by my father in 1974 and now operates under its second generation of leadership. We serve as subcontractors for numerous companies, specializing in automation for sheet metal”, says Jörgen Häggman, CEO. “Our steel processing begins with laser cutting sheets or tubes, followed by bending and welding to fulfill our clients' needs”.
In 2022, HSJ-Products boasted a turnover of 5.8 million euros. As a family-run business, they operate from two facilities in Lillby and Sisbacka, both situated within the Pedersöre municipality of Ostrobothnia. Spanning 3,900 m², their production facilities house a team of 34 skilled workers equipped with the latest and best machinery available, including an Eagle iNspire 30 kW fiber laser cutter, three press brakes, one robot press brake, one tube laser, and two welding robots. With this robust infrastructure, HSJ-Products maintains an impressive manufacturing capacity of 4,000 tonnes of material annually.
Powering Efficiency: The Role of Eagle Lasers at HSJ-Products
“Previously, our main challenge lay in working with thicker materials, where we faced significant limitations”, explains Roger Edström, Production manager. “However, with the introduction of the 30 kW Eagle laser and its automation systems, we've overcome this hurdle and can now ensure excellent quality up to 40 mm thickness. Having utilized this laser for nearly a year, we've significantly reduced downtime. During this time, we saved two weeks of work thanks to the speed of the pallet changer's operation”.
“The Eagle machine's speed and efficiency are remarkable. With rapid pierce times and cutting speeds, we're able to handle more jobs and remain competitive in the market. This increased efficiency has led to cost savings in part production, ultimately boosting our profits, crucial for success as a Job Shop”.
A Customer-Centric Approach: Ensuring Satisfaction
As HSJ sales team remains readily available throughout production, there’s a guarantee that final products and deliveries will always seamlessly align with customer expectations. With a commitment to delivering high-quality goods at competitive prices, HSJ-Products offers two- and three-dimensional laser cutting, reinforcement manufacturing, metal bending, welding, and wire bending.
“The introduction of the Eagle laser has opened up exciting new opportunities for us as a subcontractor in the metal industry”, points out Sebastian Forsbacka, Sales manager. “We can now cater to a broader range of customers with even greater variations in their parts. Opting for the 30 kW Eagle was the perfect decision for us, as it offered all the benefits we were seeking when considering 20 kW-plus machines”.
“Our priority was accessing the latest and most dependable technology, making Eagle an obvious choice for us. I wholeheartedly recommend Eagle Lasers for their efficiency, reliability, and a significant boost to production capabilities”.
