How ASSA ABLOY keeps Tapojärvi moving

There are places in the world where infrastructure has to work without exception. Northern Finland is one of them, with long winters and temperatures far below zero for extended periods. Tapojärvi, a family-owned mining and industrial services company with over 1,000 employees, has operated here for nearly 65 years. At its largest maintenance facility, heavy machinery is serviced and returned to operation, every hour, every day.

In an environment like this, entrance systems are a critical part of how the operation functions. Doors need to open and close reliably hundreds of times a day, hold back the elements and maintain a stable indoor environment for workers and equipment alike. In search of solutions built for this kind of demand, Tapojärvi turned to ASSA ABLOY – with a brief that meant no compromises on durability, thermal performance or ease of use.

Megadoor and Crawford, working together

ASSA ABLOY's answer combined two complementary product families. Crawford sectional doors were installed to manage the high volume of daily traffic, limiting drafts, maintaining a regulated indoor temperature, and enabling vehicles to move in and out without disruption. 

For larger internal applications – including the washing and servicing of heavy vehicles – Megadoor® solutions were specified. Designed with no size or configuration limits, the Megadoor solution is built precisely for the kind of large-scale industrial environments where standard solutions don't fit.

Together, the two systems create a controlled environment where work can happen efficiently, safely and consistently, regardless of what's happening outside.

Performance and peace of mind

Since installation, Tapojärvi's facility has seen smoother traffic flow and improved conditions for maintenance work. The ASSA ABLOY service agreement helps to provide rapid response support – keeping downtime to a minimum in a facility that can't afford to stop. 

For a company built on the idea that the right solution, properly maintained, creates lasting value, the partnership between Tapojärvi and ASSA ABLOY simply makes sense.
