1986

The story of Comatec begins in Tampere

Aulis Asikainen and his business partners created the name of the company by condensing the name of the conveyor industry magazine Conveyor Material Technics. Their business idea is to engage in design work and operate as a service company with a focus on machine and equipment design.

1996

Year 1996

Jorma Nordfors (1996) and Petri Leino (1998) joined Comatec as partners alongside Asikainen. Pioneering university collaboration begins as Comatec commissioned its first industry-specific research project in collaboration with the University of Tampere (1998).

The company’s automation design service is launched. Comatec takes its first steps in skills development by acquiring industry-leading computers and software, swiftly transitioning from 2D to 3D design.

2003

Year 2003

The era of Comatec’s growth begins with its first business acquisition: the company purchases Vemika, based in Heinola specialising in electrolysis processes, conveyor systems and post-processing of anode plates.

In the early 2000s, Comatec’s organic growth stays between 20 and 25 per cent. The company is also able to rapidly expand and deepen its knowledge base. Alongside mechanical design, Comatec ads electrical design to its service portfolio.

2005

Year 2005

The results of further industry-specific research projects conducted through university collaboration is integrated into Comatec’s operations. This speeds up delivery times, ensuring high quality and maintaining competitive prices. Comatec provides expert service using state-of-the-art design tools.

With the acquisitions, the company’s service portfolio expands to include design for the marine industry and specialises expertise in the energy industry, such as the design of steam boiler plants, high-pressure piping systems and tanks. The company also further deepens its expertise in commissioning, maintenance, service, repair and modernisation of production machinery. We also develop our strength calculation services extensively.

Comatec receives recognition for its operations, winning both a regional entrepreneur award (2005) and a national entrepreneur award as Finland’s leading design office in machine and process design (2007).

2010

Year 2010

A third industry-specific study guides Comatec to invest in profitable growth to ensure that all necessary competitive factors were in place, preparing the company for its journey on the international market.

Comatec’s Comatec Estonia Oü office in Tallinn is established in 2011.

The company expands its service expertise through acquisitions, especially in the design of conveyor systems, with a particular focus on bulk material handling systems.

2014

Year 2014

The Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM; now the European Union Intellectual Property Office [EUIPO]) grants the company the right to use the trademark symbol ®. Thus, the Comatec brand is born.

2016

Year 2016

The internationalisation of Comatec Group progresses with the establishment of Comatec Poland sp z.o.o in Wroclaw (2016) and Comatec Engineering s.r.l. in Brasov, Romania (2019).

After thirty years of operation, Comatec’s core mission remains clear: to develop and manufacture capital goods, production plants and production processes. The company’s foremost industry expertise lies in work machines and special vehicles, material handling systems, production equipment and systems, as well as boilers and power plants.
