Pekotek´s team assembled in Joensuu this time for our quarterly management meeting in combination with pending deliveries to mainland Europe and Scandinavia. While also coordinating appreciated partner visits by Pierre Brolin from Germany. Thank you Kuivalainen, Hanza and John Deere!

On our agenda at the meeting was also preparations for coating-, machinery-, defense-, and process industry fairs 2025/26; Surface World Feb 26/27^th in Birmingham UK, Scandinavian Coating in Copenhagen DK Feb 12/13^th , and MSPO in Poland in September. Plus promising follow up work after Pekotek´s attendance at Steelfab in Dubai in January. Paintexpo is held in Istanbul in October this year and returns to Karlsruhe in April 2026.

Are multipurpose- and mobile surface treatment chambers, or large-scale production lines denominators for industry production in general? When commenting trade and export, many claim 2025 is and will be a bumpy ride. Yet in terms of coating quality, scalability, recycling and sustainability, or the need for flexibility – our customers from a range of industry sectors and markets express a desire to develop together with us. Pekotek´s take on current affairs is very positive!
