Casemet and PickWay - Cooperation has built mutual growth

Casemet and PickWay have been working together for about a decade, during which time the collaboration has been refined into a strong partnership. Working together is based on trust, brainstorming together and achieving common goals.

PickWay Oy is a Finnish technology company that designs and manufactures advanced warehouse solutions for the manufacturing industry. One of PickWay's products is Etra's eLock locker vending machine. ELock locker vending machine is an easy-to-use, versatile, and customizable vending machine for products of various sizes, from drill bots to safety shoes. The automated system enables efficient tracking and logistics of small items.

As a contract manufacturer, Casemet manufactures sheet metal parts for the PickWay and Etra eLock locker vending machines and takes care of the mechanical and electromechanical assembly of the vending machine. The actual manufacturing processes at Casemet's Mikkeli plant include sheet metal working, bending, welding, painting, mechanical and electromechanical assembly and testing of the finished product.

Jarmo Nissinen, CEO of Pickway Oy, and Jukka Kokkonen, CEO of Casemet Oy, are delighted with the longlasting cooperation to which both parties are strongly committed.

"Our flexible collaboration has enabled innovative product development. Casemet's responsiveness and ability to listen to the customer have made the partnership rewarding. ”
- Jarmo Nissinen, CEO, PickWay Oy

The locker vending machine contains sensitive technology and is also visually impressive as a product. This also imposes certain requirements on its manufacture. Electrically lockable doors require a durable and stable metal frame. The paint surface must also be clean and durable.

The next joint project by PickWay and Casemet is already looming around the corner when locker vending machines are installed on PickWay’s new showcase. The lockers are manufactured and installed by Casemet. PickWay will be able to showcase its products all over Finland in the future.
