Our journey

What started as a small welding positioner business over half a century ago has grown into a global welding automation success story. With over 50 years of experience in engineering and manufacturing welding automation for heavy industries, we are the number one in the world in these fields.

 

We are strongly rooted in Pemamek’s founding principles: to listen, understand, innovate, and deliver as promised.

Leadership

The family

Today, just like in the beginning, Pemamek is a family-owned business. Pemamek was founded in 1970 and since 1988, it has been owned by the Heikonen family.
