On 8 October 2026, Lillbacka Finn-Power welcomed 60 participants from 40 companies to its Supplier Day. The event provided an opportunity to strengthen supplier relationships, exchange insights and discuss shared goals for quality, delivery performance and continuous improvement.
Strong Partnerships in a Changing Market
The Supplier Day opened with an introduction by Chief Business Officer Mika Luopajärvi, followed by presentations covering purchasing, product development, sustainability and quality.
Geopolitical uncertainty, increasing competition and delayed investment decisions continue to affect the industry. At the same time, a growing demand for intelligent machinery and data-driven solutions creates new opportunities.
In this changing environment, close cooperation with suppliers is essential. Open communication, responsiveness and continuous improvement help strengthen delivery reliability and create value for customers.
Every Part Matters
“Quality is not a coincidence. It is the way we work.”
This message captured one of the central themes of the Supplier Day. Regardless of its size or complexity, every component has a role to play in the finished product. Delivering the right part to the right customer, at the right time and with the right quality requires commitment throughout the supply chain.
Identifying and preventing errors early is especially important, as their impact and cost increase at each subsequent stage.
From Components to Customer Success
During the afternoon, customer success stories provided practical examples of how quality, technical expertise and close cooperation contribute to successful outcomes. The success stories also gave suppliers a broader perspective on how their components contribute to Finn-Power’s machines and the value these machines bring to customers.
The Supplier Day concluded with an open feedback discussion and networking. The exchange of experiences and perspectives offered valuable input for further developing supplier cooperation, with a continued focus on quality, reliability and meeting evolving customer needs.
