OUR TASK IS IMPROVING CUSTOMER COMPETITIVENESS

Our tools in this work are steel know-how and comprehensive and efficient production. Success is ensured by a carefully honed process that covers our machine shop operations, from precise quotation calculation, laser cutting and edging to welding, machining, painting, assembly, finishing and efficient logistics.

You will be served by a skilled and motivated team of professionals as well as extensive and effective procurement networks. Our customer experience also includes design and product development with 3D modelling and manufacturability consulting. 

Make the most of our expertise: responsibly, productively and as agreed.

A RESPONSIBLE PARTNER

We strive for development with an entrepreneurial and hard-working attitude. We recognise our internal customerships and are committed to helping others to perform at their best, both as individuals and as a company. We will enable continuity and development purely through profitable business. This stems from a customer-centric way of doing business. 

We know and want to identify our customers' needs. We also take part in design and product development to find the best and most cost-effective solutions for our customers. 

Our product design and manufacturing methods are always based on the customer's needs combined with the most practical solutions possible. For us, responsibility is not about shackles, but about dedication, planning, service - pure common sense.  

A NEW NAME TO CROWN THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY

The original name of our company, Welding and Construction Aho, was changed to better describe our current, comprehensive machine shop operations. From now on we are AhoSteel. And our new customer promise says it all.

As part of the name change, we also updated our graphic outlook to reflect today's offering and service. Our brand video (see below) takes you into 'our world'. We also welcome you to visit us on-site if you are in need of steel expertise!

We also plan to make acquisitions that will further increase our service value, while continuously developing the capacity of our staff to deliver the services we promise in accordance with a standardised process. All of this is a direct benefit to our customers, which is something we pride ourselves on.

CONTRACT MANUFACTURING 2.0

A comprehensive service combined with a highly refined process creates a stable and reliable basis for contract manufacturing, which is a worry-free and easy way for the customer to ensure the availability of components and parts for a long time in advance.

Storing is also possible if the customer does not have the possibility to easily organise storage. This speeds up availability and reduces the resources needed to make arrangements.

Ask for more information and request a quote for contract manufacturing. Remember that our experts are also available to help and consult on designing and rationalising production.

AhoSteel services

Our services cover a wide range of workshop activities. We want our customers to get everything they need as easily, risk-free and cost-effectively as possible - under one roof.

Service is built into everything we do. The easier and more cost-effective it is for the customer, the better.

NEW EQUIPMENT in the machine shop!

During the summer, we received a new Fanuci 4.0 GenX laser welding machine for the workshop. The attached video explains its benefits for our customers, we are happy to provide more information.

5 reasons to be interested:

  1. Speed (2-3 times faster than traditional welding)
  2. End result (No finishing work such as sanding due to minimal A-dimension, and no heat staining due to low heat output)
  3. Minimal distortion (lower heat input allows harder parts to be welded straight - and the walls stay straight too!)
  4. Ease of use (Work is fast and even long seams can be welded quickly)
  5. Seam resistance (Break tests on welded pieces have proven to be excellent.)

process drives all activities

AhoSteel is especially proud of its process. It has been refined and developed over decades and is something we take great pride in. Each of us knows exactly where we fit in, no one has to guess what they are supposed to do and everyone understands how important they are to the company. Everyone has a clear role to play in the whole.

The process is also certified according to ISO 9001:2015 and in August 2024 the operation will be certified according to ISO 3834-2 as well, thus ensuring, among other things, the uniformity and high quality of the products. 

Sustainability is also intrinsically linked to our process, we do everything we can to minimise our carbon footprint. Standardised (ISO 9001) quality management demonstrates a long-term commitment to quality and its further development.

A MACHINE SHOP FULL OF TECHNOLOGY

Modern technology, with its automation, robotics and programming, has made our operations even more efficient and accurate.

Technology also helps us to help our customers, e.g. the 3D scanner in the picture below transfers the finished component to a computer for further development.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS A MATTER OF HONOUR FOR US!
