A valve supplier whose expertise reaches from Kuopio to the world
Based in Kuopio, ECONOSTO Oy, part of the global KLINGER Group, has been delivering high-quality valves, safety devices, regulators, level gauges, and steam traps since 1987. These solutions serve the needs of shipyards, water construction, industry, and power plants. Challenging and customized adjustment and assembly tasks are areas of ECONOSTO’s core expertise.
ECONOSTO is a multi-sector company specializing in the import and sales of industrial and power plant products both in Finland and for export markets. Its decades of experience, combined with a warehouse holding over 6,500 product items and a stock of 60,000 products, enable the company to deliver directly from its own warehouse in Kuopio. The Group also operates a warehouse in Masala, Kirkkonummi, which is utilized as needed for deliveries.
ECONOSTO works with nearly one hundred active principals worldwide, mainly in Europe, but also in the Far East and the United States. “Our principals train us both abroad and in Finland. We often serve in an expert role for our customers and tailor complete packages to meet their specific needs,” explains Technical Sales Specialist Petri Tick.
With a wide product selection, skilled personnel, and excellent logistical connections, ECONOSTO ensures first-class delivery reliability. Direct exports from Kuopio around the globe account for about 10% of ECONOSTO’s turnover. Including indirect exports via customers, exports generate around half of the company’s revenue.
Fast deliveries with personalized service
Quick response to customer needs and a broad product range ensure prompt deliveries. “Our extensive selection also means that customers don’t need to source products from multiple suppliers—they can get everything they need under one roof. Each customer is assigned a dedicated contact person, which simplifies communication,” says Sales Director Toni Ålander.
“We serve customers with both daily needs and large-scale projects, whether near or far. Orders are processed quickly, and the delivery process is made as effortless as possible—products, support, and documentation are all available from a single source. All customer feedback is documented and thoroughly reviewed as part of our continuous sales development,” adds Product Manager Petri Hallikainen.
Demanding and large-scale project deliveries
ECONOSTO is a key valve supplier for sectors including the marine industry and water and power plants, providing large product quantities and, when needed, fully assembled solutions ready for installation.
The professional ECONOSTO team helps customers identify the best solutions for their various needs and projects. “Once the products for a project are selected and approved, responsibility for order handling transfers to sales support, which confirms and monitors delivery progress and communicates with the customer as needed. ECONOSTO prepares a complete delivery package that includes products labeled with position tags and documentation tailored to customer specifications, such as brochures, manuals, material certificates, and PED or DoC certificates,” says Sales Assistant Kirsi Vuorensyrjä.
“One of our special areas of expertise is the adjustment and testing of safety valves. We have our own equipment for this, which is not commonly available among competitors. Customers specify the desired valve model and set pressure, and we adjust, test, and certify the valves to meet exact requirements. ECONOSTO provides an official adjustment certificate, and certification from an inspection body can also be ordered through us. Our warehouse includes a wide range of safety valves for fast delivery,” Ålander adds.
Nowadays, valves are increasingly automated as part of larger delivery packages. ECONOSTO assembles various actuated valves according to customer specifications and equips them with necessary accessories. These preassembled solutions save customers time and ensure that the delivery can be immediately integrated into the overall project.
