Elebet Relies on Plywood Availability and Service
Elebet Oy relies on dependable availability and service
Working with Kiilax makes everyday operations easier
Based in Pomarkku, Elebet Oy has extensive experience in precast concrete manufacturing. The company has operated since 1974 and now employs more than 40 professionals. Foreman Risto Närvä says working with Kiilax has brought greater certainty to production and made day-to-day work easier.
The partnership began when Regional Sales Manager Riku Tarnanen got in touch.
“Riku has done a good job. He keeps in touch and proactively suggests solutions,” Närvä says cheerfully, in his strong west-coast dialect.
“When the formwork carpenter needs plywood, it has to be available”
Elebet uses film-faced plywood for precast concrete moulds. The company particularly enjoys producing versatile façade elements and architecturally demanding projects where quality and precision matter. Närvä mentions exposed-aggregate façade elements, extensively prefabricated balcony elements and lift shafts as examples.
“We have settled on a particular panel size and thickness for production, and Riku already knows to make sure there is enough in stock.”
Alongside competitive pricing, availability and reliable delivery are key criteria for Elebet. Requirements can arise at short notice.
“We use thousands of square metres of film-faced plywood in production every year. You could almost say Riku handles part of our stock management for us. We call each other regularly, and there has always been enough material at our cutting station,” Närvä says appreciatively.
“Despite the distance, logistics work seamlessly. Posti’s freight deliveries arrive promptly, and the drivers give us plenty of advance notice of incoming shipments.”
Quality and cooperation that show on site
Elebet’s strengths are reliable delivery, skilled staff, clear processes and, above all, a high-quality end product. A precast concrete element has to fit exactly into place on site. That requires precision and dependable partners — there is little room for compromise.
“The end products are increasingly large, ready-made assemblies. When the dimensions are accurate and communication works, it reduces the amount of work for the customer,” Närvä says.
This is precisely where straightforward cooperation adds value.
