Expert support and additional capacity for the design department
The Fintos engineering service is designed to provide industrial companies with expert support for their designers and additional capacity for their engineering departments. We also carry out assembly of the hydraulic and pneumatic tools and low-volume production of the equipment, which gives customers the chance to increase the productivity and profitability of their own capacities.
We look for the most technically viable solutions
The design process involves much more than just making drawings: The start of the design can be based on a customer’s problem or the need to make a system or process work in a certain way. The feed can be a raw kernel of an idea or a challenge that the designer faces, which we take on board to solve. The output of our design service is always in line with the identified need and the agreed budget.
We explore different options and build, test and with the help of prototypes, develop the optimal solutions for you. Based on our mapping and testing, we recommend the best option in our opinion. Ultimately, it is you, the customer, who makes the final choice.
We can also test the desired product packages and provide first-hand information before formal studies by VTT (VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.) or Tukes (Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency), for example.
We obtain or design the necessary components
We use standard pneumatic and hydraulic components in our design solutions. We select the best suppliers of hydraulic, pneumatic and liquid cooling components from our extensive network, which we have built up since 2008.
We partner with several different suppliers for the same components. This allows us to choose the part that best suits your needs and the supplier we know is reliable and meets our high-quality standards. Alternatively, we can use customer’s standard suppliers and parts for design and procurement.
We are also constantly looking for new component manufacturers and expanding our distribution network to meet the requirements of the projects. Thanks to our extensive network, we have good security of supply; we do not rely on a single supplier and we can quickly find a substitute in any exceptional situations.
For example, small or large batch production is suitable as a service for product development needs at the beginning of the products life cycle and product customisation at the end. Our outsourced assembly service and small batch production enables the customer to increase the efficiency and productivity of its own capacity and profitability.
In turnkey assembly services, we manage the supply chain and the process, either as a whole or in agreed parts. Our responsibilities may include, as agreed, design, scheduling, component sourcing, assembly, testing, documentation, packaging and, if necessary, storage and work instructions.
Content of the assembly service
- We create the plan or use the customer’s plans
- We source the most suitable components from selected suppliers
- We carry out assembly work and/or small batch production
- We handle the packaging of the product or the set.
- If required, we also handle the testing, documentation, work instructions and warehousing of the tools and equipment we assemble.
- The result is that the customer receives finished hydraulic or pneumatic equipment or small batches in a timely manner and quantity.
Our proven methods
We carry out our assembly service in accordance with standard practices that have been proven over many years of experience:
- In assembling we follow the customer’s instructions and for example the supplier’s requirements
- We interact closely with the customer in all stages of the process
- We test and document the progress of the assembly work to ensure quality

- substitute components and suppliers available instantly
- additional services such as 3D design, testing, assembling and maintenance bring additional benefits
Customer benefits of assembly service and small batch production
- The customer gets access to a finished tool, device or sub-assembly on time and within budget.
- Contractual delivery simplifys project planning, project management and budgeting for the customer.
- Customer’s capacity is freed up for more profitable activities.
- Flexible service also brings flexibility to the customer.
- Comprehensive additional services such as design, testing, documentation, warehousing and maintenance provide additional benefits.
3D Design
Our design service includes 3D design, which allows us to design fully customised components if required. 3D design involves 3D-modelling and visualisation of a system, product or part.
Fintos Sprint
Fintos Sprint service provides a quick solution to your hydraulic and pneumatic challenges and questions. With Sprint, we work intensively to find a solution to a hydraulic or pneumatic problem that has not been solved before.
Fintos Case
Fintos and Wärtsilä collaborated to develop a flush for an engine lubricating oil system to ensure sufficient engine oil cleanliness during a test run. The test results showed the viability of the flushing system.
