Sandvik invests in BEV manufacturing in Turku, Finland


Sandvik is expanding its plant in Turku, Finland to incorporate the manufacture of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) for underground mining. Alongside the expansion, which is set to be completed in the second half of 2023, the whole of the plant for load and haul equipment is set to be enhanced and modernized.

Sandvik’s Turku Business Park project represents a significant investment of over EUR 10 million. The investment is in response to increasing demand for load and haul equipment for underground mining, together with the industry’s growing trend towards electrification and digitalization. The objective is to increase the capacity of Sandvik’s Turku plant and improve production efficiency. Improvements will be made to all aspects of the plant’s operations, including logistics, warehousing, production and assembly areas and quality control.

“The upgraded production environment and reorganization of operations will improve productivity, lead times and worker safety,” said Matti Seppälä, Project Manager at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions. “Warehouse and recycling improvements will enhance the sustainability of our operations.”
