Finnish wood-processing technology supplier Jartek has signed a partnership agreement with Koeki Ltd., a Japan-based company with extensive experience in working with Finnish industrial partners. The collaboration aims to strengthen Jartek’s presence in the Japanese market and provide advanced automation solutions for the sawmill industry. The partnership commenced in early 2026.

Koeki Ltd. brings decades of experience in cooperation with Finnish companies and has established a strong position within the Japanese forest and sawmill industry. The collaboration provides Jartek with valuable local expertise and access to well-developed networks in the market.
