Haltian Oy is a Finnish company operating internationally that provides product development and device design services. Another branch of its business that has grown significantly in recent years is its own product line: IoT devices known under the Thingsee brand. In the design and production process of these devices, cooperation with Gelecta is also very close.
“We have found Gelecta to be an excellent partner in the fast-paced product development process, for example in concept-phase prototyping and manufacturing parts with silicone molds. Compared to 3D printing, this method produces parts that are much more precise and better finished,” says Juha Pikkarainen, Project Manager at Haltian Oy.
Often during the development phase of a new product it is difficult to estimate the final production volume. Will the product reach large markets and mass production? Is it worth investing in expensive molds?
“A fast and cost-effective alternative for small-scale mass production is the manufacturing of plastic parts using non-hardened mold tools, which can produce series of up to 20,000 pieces. Gelecta has also been our partner in these processes and has helped bring our innovations to market quickly.”
“In addition to expertise and a reliable production network, I highly value Gelecta’s customer service. Responses to requests for quotations and other inquiries always come exceptionally quickly. And what is promised is always delivered,” summarizes Juha Pikkarainen.
