BUTTING – Now also present in Finland

“A company that shares our values, lives our understanding of quality and perfectly complements our knowledge and skills,” says Marcel Bartels, CEO of the Plant Construction Division.

PrePipe has been operating in Lappeenranta, Finland, since 2006 and specializes in pipeline construction for maintenance and in the project sector. The company supplies the Finnish paper and pulp industry as well as other plant construction sectors.

In the dynamic region of South-East Finland, known for its world-class companies in paper and pulp production, PrePipe has built up an excellent reputation over the past few decades. Today, the company is one of the leading specialists in pipe installation.

The local presence enables BUTTING to support our customers in the region with customized solutions and to get involved in major projects at an early stage. Thanks to the cooperation with BUTTING China and BUTTING Anlagenbau in Schwedt, high-quality and cost-effective prefabrication (a kind of pre-assembly in the workshop) can be relied on.

The management of PrePipe remains in experienced hands: Mika Myllys will continue as CEO, supported by Miika Airaksinen. Michael Gades, who has been a member of the BUTTING family of employees for more than 30 years and is an expert in pipeline construction, will ensure a smooth integration into the BUTTING Group.

With PrePipe Oy, the BUTTING Group is further expanding its expertise in the field of pipe assembly and strengthening its performance, particularly for companies in the pulp and paper industry in Scandinavia.
