We operate in many different branch of industry.

Pinus silvestris, the Finnish gold, the source of wealth, is found in the forest. The history of progress of the pulp and paper industry, in the scale of industry, goes back to the 1920’s. The welfare in Finland is strongly based on the top-level know-how in this line of industry both on the domestic and world markets. 

The production of our paper industry gives us pleasure every day, the first thing in the morning when we have a cup of coffee together with the morning paper. 

UKITIG / UKITECH works in the evaporation and piping projects in the pulp and paper industry. We are focused on steam and condensation systems, manufacturing and installation control of hydraulic, pneumatic, circulating and grease lubrication piping.  
Our projects abroad are primarily in Central and Southern Europe and in Scandinavian countries.

In the development of energy technology the horse-power was replaced by cars in the first half of the 20th century. As the source of energy wood was replaced by coal. In the 1950’s oil had for the great part beaten coil. When reaching the end of the 2000th century we realized that natural gas is in this perspective a strong factor in power production. These sources of energy are the most important fuels also during the next few decades. Nuclear power is the latest newcomer that has achieved a significant position in the world as the producer of electric energy. 
These forms of energy have effected considerably on the development of our society. The key questions in the long term are the accessibility of energy, environment effects of its production and use. 

The role of authorities is significant as to energy technology, the development of its know-how by means of education and research. Energy technology should be the special target of ambition of the state. 

The Finnish energy system is one of most versatile and effective in the world. 
UKITIG / UKITECH is involved in the piping and equipment installation projects of the energy technology. Our objects are the piping of the power plants, their renovations and maintenance. Our activities include also building projects of steam and heating plants.

Among the ancestors of electric technology we may mention Edison, who invented the glow bulb in 1879. The gleam of light reached Finland in 1882, when electric light could be enjoyed in the Finlayson weaving mill hall in Tampere. In 1901 the history of horse driven trams ended and Helsinki moved on to use electrified trams. In 1908 “the era of automation” began in households when the German AEG started the marketing of hotplate and the product range included also electric iron. In 1921 Suomen Sähkölampputehdas Oy (Finland’s Bulb Factory), today Airam, opened. The first public television broadcast was sent in 1955. In the 1960’s “automation” took a great leap to households in the form of electric stoves, washing machines and freezers.

At this time of electronic contraptions it is very hard for us to remember that the generality of electricity, water pipe or drain system does not extend to further back in time. Computers were getting common at the early 1970’s and since then there have been great leaps to the present; the automation has developed to unbelievable achievements. We may wonder who would today be without a musical mobile. The modern factory environment is a living test laboratory. The predecessors of automation belong to the crucial lines of industry in Finland – pulp and paper industry. 

UKITIG / UKITECH is involved in the automation,instrumentation and electrifying projects of the industry.

The roots of cold storage technology extend to the ice industry, which had developed to the top about a hundred years ago. This branch of industry was started in autumn by clearing the ice on lakes and rivers out of snow. Harvesting was carried out by sawing the ice into cubes, which were stored into special ice stores. From there the ice was transferred to distribution spots, from which the consumers fetched their pieces of ice. The system was needed to produce ice to refrigerators of that time. The refrigerators were heat insulated and the ice kept the grub cool. 

Mechanical cold technology originated in the middle of the 1900th century. This radical innovation replaced the technology based on ice, which was the beginning of the end of ice industry. 
In Europe the generalization of refrigerating machines dates to the years 1884 – 1885 owing to the mild winters. In sports the first artificial ice track was made in Chelsea in 1876 with the cold substance being sulphur dioxide. It is said about sulphur dioxide that the smell wakes even the dead. 

The product development work in refrigerating technology has been innovative and the control of the whole technology chain in the food production industry is most crucial. 
Today this branch of industry serves the food production industry up to the industrial processes. Also the hockey fans enjoy over their “tv” the development of this industrial branch. 

UKITIG / UKITECH is involved in manufacturing the piping for this industrial line and in equipment installations. As projects we may mention the piping in the ice machine room of Hartwall Areena, and cooling projects in office premises and in data communication centres.

The Sanskrit name Sarkara was given for sugar by Indians about 2400 years ago. The nature has taken care that we have been able to enjoy sweet flavours already for thousands of years. Sugar has been called also “white gold”, and with good reason. 

The refining of sugar was started in Finland in Turku after the middle of the18th century. The origin of Suomen Sokeri (Finland’s Sugar) is timed in 1918, when six sugar factories were combined as Finska Socker AB. 
Sugar is also the raw material in brewing industry. So the fact is that we have this refined “white gold” almost in everything we eat and drink. 
UKITIG / UKITECH is involved in the wheels of this progress refining piping for the needs of both food and brewing industry. 
We have supplied comprehensive projects for brewing and alcohol units cherishing traditions.

We manufacture piping units of high hygiene quality for piping and equipment installations, renovation activities and maintenance work.

The history of medical industry apparently extends to the time when we lived on the terms of nature and in harmony with nature, without various philosophic ideas. The first doctor as a specialist was apparently called a shaman. The traditions of shamanism have been the respect of the life in all, living in harmony with nature and cherishing healthy manners of living as well as curing other people. Shamans, “wise men”, have been seekers and the first scientists in the line of medical industry. 
The modern medical industry can be considered as a factor of the know-how of wellbeing. It has the main stress on research and development work based on specialization. 
The technology of the equipment in the medical industry has the especially high technical requirements. 

UKITIG / UKITECH has been involved in the area of medical industry in manufacturing demanding piping of high technology and in equipment installations. In the production of hygiene piping for medical industry we use modern orbital welding equipment.

Chemistry, this name brings to our mind from history the prohibition law in 1919. This law itself produced chemists more than graduated professionals in this line. 
In 1932 the Finnish parliament repealed the law and a great part of small chemical factories closed down. Also the obedience to the law grew massively and the authorities were released to do their normal work. 
Today this line has developed into one branch of industry having super modern production processes. 

UKITIG / UKITECH has taken part in manufacturing piping and equipment installations for these top modern and demanding production processes. We have manufactured piping units demanding high hygiene level. Among the piping installations we may mention several fermentation and granulation plants.

“Town Board
We want to draw the attention of the Town Board to the fact that in the area of Kukonmäki we have a serious shortage of water. There is only one well, very small, at the end of the Pietola Street on the bank of Pietola bay. We also point out that the population of our locality is increasing every year, but the number of wells is not. We suggest that another well would be built on the region, because as tax-payers we have the right to get water.

In Uusikaupunki 14th of July 1945 (17 signatures)”
(Matti Jalava: Water Supply in Uusikaupunki 1951 – 2001)

The first water plant in the cities in Finland was founded in Helsinki in 1872. This means quite a young development of the water supply. Today the water supply has become a social producer of the basic services in our every day life. In Finland the water system of water supply plants covers the total of about 4,7 million inhabitants.
The present water supply plants are technically well-developed units, which are responsible for providing, treating and distributing of water, as well as treating of sewerages.

UKITIG / UKITECH is involved as a manufacturer of pipings in water supply technology both for pure water and sewage treatment plants. We take part in new-building, renovation and maintenance work.

The history of shipbuilding goes apparently back to the time when there has been water, people and wood on the earth. The shipbuilding skill of Sumerians is known from across four thousand years. From there the technical skill in shipbuilding has been transmitted to civilized nations. The Siemens-Martin process produced the steel quality strongly required by shipbuilders after the middle of the 19th century. 
The Finns have always been excellent shipbuilders exporting the Finnish know-how all over the world. Today’s ships are units with top technology, independent communities. 

UKITIG / UKITECH has been involved in building piping and in equipment installations onboard these vessels. In shipbuilding industry the building of piping is concentrated on renovation work including e.g. sprinkler, sanitary, air and sea-water piping, as well as wash water and hydraulic piping of tanks.
