The Green­ing of the Mar­itime Indus­try Cre­ates Growth

The long-term devel­op­ment and sales efforts of Ran­dax Oy, a man­u­fac­tur­er of large per­ma­nent mag­net motors, has paid off. The com­pa­ny has embarked on a strong growth tra­jec­to­ry, par­tic­u­lar­ly due to the elec­tri­fi­ca­tion of the mar­itime indus­try. The green­ing of the sec­tor and the shift towards low-emis­sion solu­tions have increased the demand for Ran­dax’s ener­gy-effi­cient motors.

The num­ber of Ran­dax’s cus­tomers has mul­ti­plied in recent years, and the com­pa­ny’s motors have been deliv­ered to coun­tries such as Nor­way, the Nether­lands, and Chi­na. One of the most sig­nif­i­cant ref­er­ence cus­tomers is the Nor­we­gian HPS (Haf Pow­er Solu­tions), which uti­lizes Ran­dax’s motors in its elec­tric propul­sion sys­tems. The col­lab­o­ra­tion with HPS is a proof to the com­pet­i­tive­ness and reli­a­bil­i­ty of Ran­dax’s tech­nol­o­gy in demand­ing marine con­di­tions.

The com­pa­ny’s order book is cur­rent­ly very strong and cov­ers the next two years. Accord­ing to Sales & Engi­neer­ing Man­ag­er Kim­mo Huuri­nainen, the growth is dri­ven not only by tech­no­log­i­cal lead­er­ship but also by the abil­i­ty to respond quick­ly and flex­i­bly to the indi­vid­ual needs of cus­tomers. “The green­ing of the mar­itime indus­try is no longer the future, but the present. We are proud to be part of build­ing a clean­er and more sus­tain­able future for mar­itime trans­port,” says Huuri­nainen.

Ran­dax par­tic­i­pat­ed in the joint stand orga­nized by Busi­nes­sOulu at the lead­ing Nordic mar­itime indus­try fair, Nor-ship­ping 2.–6.6.2025 in Oslo. Also present were Oulu-based com­pa­nies Sähkö-Rantek Oy, Sah-Ko Oy, and Seak­er Oy.

Sähkö-Rantek Oy

Sähkö-Rantek is a man­u­fac­tur­er of elec­tri­cal indus­try equip­ment, offer­ing cus­tom-made motor com­po­nents such as wound and machined parts and assem­blies. The com­pa­ny’s exper­tise sup­ports the elec­tri­fi­ca­tion of the mar­itime indus­try, par­tic­u­lar­ly in motor tech­nol­o­gy and equip­ment assem­blies.

Sah-Ko Oy

Sah-Ko is a ver­sa­tile indus­tri­al ser­vice provider, man­u­fac­tur­ing machined and weld­ed parts, steel struc­tures, indus­tri­al pip­ing, and tanks. The com­pa­ny also offers instal­la­tion, repair, and main­te­nance ser­vices. In the mar­itime indus­try, Sah-Ko spe­cial­izes in the repair of steel struc­tures in ports and ships. The com­pa­ny also man­u­fac­tures cus­tom-made heat exchang­er CIP (Clean-In-Place) wash­ers under its Hexxa­clean brand.

Seak­er Oy

Seak­er Oy devel­ops dig­i­tal solu­tions for mar­itime needs. The com­pa­ny’s prod­ucts include the ATLAS sys­tem, which enables real-time data col­lec­tion and trans­fer from ships to shore. Seak­er’s tech­nol­o­gy sup­ports the ener­gy effi­cien­cy of ves­sels and com­pli­ance with envi­ron­men­tal require­ments, which is cru­cial for the green­ing of the mar­itime indus­try.
