Meconet and Relicomp – Pioneers in Contract Manufacturing

Relicomp joining the Meconet Group this spring marked an important milestone in the growth of both companies. So, what does this mean in practice? Relicomp extends Meconet’s capabilities in sheet metal manufacturing – enabling the delivery of complete, ready-to-use assemblies. 

Larger complete assemblies

Relicomp has earned a reputation in the industry as a specialist in sheet metal processing technologies and a manufacturer of deep-drawn components. Typically, a full production chain is built around a single component. What begins as individual components can evolve into a complete assembly – such as a hood for a forestry machine or a cover for a mining vehicle – incorporating more than 250 individual pieces in the end.

“A single component can be developed into a complete product – assembled from 250 parts and finished with surface treatment.” 

Such parts are cut, bent, shaped, welded, surface‑treated, and assembled into a finished unit that is then integrated into the machine on the customer’s production line. What benefit does this bring to the customer? In practice, the added value comes from three key aspects: 

1. Ensuring manufacturability at the drawing board. In line with Meconet’s philosophy, Relicomp participates in product development from the very beginning. This early involvement prevents unnecessary detours and corrections, ensuring that the product is produced faster, more cost-effectively, and with fewer errors. 
2. A complete solution under one roof. When all processes – from bending and deep drawing to cutting, edge folding, welding, surface treatment, and assembly – take place under the same roof, it saves both time and money. This setup is a key benefit for Relicomp’s customers and opens exciting new opportunities for Meconet’s existing clientele. 
3. Finnish competitiveness at its best. With the help of automation and robotics, Relicomp is able to offer high-quality, cost-efficient production for both Finnish and international customers. 

In line with Meconet’s philosophy, we are committed to being part of the development process from the very beginning.” 

Additionally, a well-structured supply chain provides security. By securing the critical stages, customers can trust that deliveries will arrive on time, even amidst global uncertainties. 

Which companies benefit the most from our services? 

Our services bring the greatest value to internationally operating companies that need complex, multi-step sheet metal processing solutions and appreciate long-term partnership. Typically, these are manufacturers of machines and equipment, producing larger assemblies for their production lines— ranging from agricultural and forestry machinery structures to mining equipment covers, or even large metal components for office furniture. 

“Long-lasting partnerships are built on quality, dependable deliveries, and cost efficiency.”

New customer relationships on the horizon 

Relicomp continues its journey as a standalone company within the Meconet Group. In recent years, it has actively reached out to customers beyond its traditional focus on rubber wheels and tracks. Together, Relicomp and Meconet aim to win over new customers who can benefit from the Group’s broad range of competencies. 

Relicomp is ready to make its mark internationally. With Meconet’s established presence in the Nordic countries and Central Europe, and a skilled sales team in place, the company has a natural pathway to reach new customers abroad. 

“When a customer orders a product, they receive a seamless, end-to-end production chain – carefully planned, efficiently executed, and delivered with reliability.”
