Lillbacka Powerco’s roots go back to 1969. Over the decades, our Finn-Power brand has grown into the world’s leading product line for crimping, joining, forming, and expansion. In this article, we’ll explain why Finn-Power is the most profitable investment for your production.
1. High Production Efficiency
“A true workhorse.”
Finn-Power machines, manufactured in Finland, deliver exceptionally high production efficiency.
This efficiency stems from the machines’ outstanding quality, fast crimping cycles, and repeatability. With Finn-Power, production runs smoothly without unexpected interruptions, and operators don’t waste time adjusting the machine or handling defective parts.
Our customers also benefit from a global, genuinely responsive technical support network, ensuring that maintenance stops never stretch longer than necessary.
Ease of use plays a major role in production efficiency: thanks to our easy-to-use, language-independent control system, operators spend less time learning how to use the machine and are less likely to make time-consuming errors.
Our machines, made to the highest Finnish quality standards, feature critical components manufactured in-house and high-grade European components throughout. Combined with over 50 years of experience, this ensures reliable machines that produce top-quality results – so you can focus on production, not on handling complaints.
2. Exceptional Repeatability
“Once we get set up on a part, it stays consistent throughout the production round.”
Our machines can achieve repeatability of ±0.05 mm, meaning that parts remain within extremely tight tolerances. Many machines can meet similar tolerances when new – but here’s where we stand out: Finn-Power machines maintain that precision even after decades of use, up to 50 years later.
Such long-term repeatability is rooted in the quality of our design and manufacturing. Our machines are designed and built in Finland; we manufacture critical parts ourselves and use only premium European components.
Each machine is also grease-lubricated, a feature we firmly stand behind – because it makes a measurable difference in maintaining repeatability.
3. Uninterrupted Production
“They just keep functioning and doing what they are supposed to do, year after year.”
Let’s say it loud and clear: with Finn-Power, your production stays up and running without time-consuming interruptions. Our machines don’t fail mid-run. Our machines’ repeatability is exceptional, which means that operators do not have to spend time adjusting the machine.
Our machines’ usability is on a high level and they feature easy-to-use, language-independent control systems. Easy usage means less interruptions and higher workplace satisfaction & safety.
Additionally, Finn-Power units require only minimal preventive maintenance, helping you save on spare parts, repair costs, and valuable working hours – keeping production running without costly downtime.
4. Low Lifecycle Costs
“The most inexpensive machine can sometimes become the costliest investment.”
Low lifecycle costs are one of the key reasons why Finn-Power machines are the most profitable investment. Because they require little maintenance and have an exceptionally long service life – up to 50 years – maintenance and spare part costs remain minimal.
Our products also have an extremely low warranty cost level. Moreover, the excellent resale value of our globally sought-after machines further reduces total lifecycle costs.
5. Global Technical Support
“I rate Lillbacka’s customer service 10/10.”
We take pride in our worldwide service and support network. With local service teams, we ensure that help arrives quickly on-site, minimizing downtime.
Our technical support response time is just half a day, and 65% of support requests are resolved the same day. Spare parts are dispatched as quickly as the same day whenever possible.
6. Expert Customer Support
“We have always received expert support to any engineering challenges we may have had.”
We provide expert support to our customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their machines – from selecting the right machine or machine combination to end-of-life considerations.
Thanks to our long experience, we can also assist with manufacturing challenges related to the customer’s own production processes.
Our expert services ensure that you receive a machine solution perfectly suited to your production needs, along with advice on optimizing use, support and re-customization during operational changes, and guidance on extending machine lifespan. When your machine continues to meet your production needs throughout its lifetime, your investment remains profitable.
7. Supporting the Customer Through Training
“They take the time to walk us through things every time. It is invaluable.”
Once a machine is commissioned, our experienced technicians provide comprehensive user training for operators. We also offer educational materials such as user manuals and training videos. If needed, customers can receive on-site personal training through our distributors.
Even though our machines are easy to use thanks to their intuitive, language-independent control system, proper operation is essential to keep your production efficient and, above all, safe.
8. Supports Environmental Goals
“These machines have been built to last.”
Imagine this: A machine that requires virtually no maintenance or technician travel, no spare part manufacturing or shipping, no production downtime wasting electricity and resources, doesn’t end up as waste after a few years, and produces such consistent quality that there are no defective parts or costly returns – and continues doing all this for up to 50 years?
With Finn-Power, this is the reality. The environmental friendliness of our Finnish-designed and -manufactured machines comes primarily from their long lifespan and consistent high quality – the very same factors that make them the most profitable investment.
