JALAS-jalkinetehdas Suomessa laajentaa tuotantokapasiteettiaan ja luo 15 uutta työpaikkaa
Ejendals ja JALAS ovat iloisia voidessaan ilmoittaa merkittävästä kahden miljoonan euron investoinnista uuteen ruiskuvalukoneeseen, mikä lisää JALAS-turvajalkineiden tuotantokapasiteettia 30 prosentilla.
JALAS, valmistettu Suomessa vuodesta 1916
Kone on asennettu Ejendalsin Jokipiissä sijaitsevalle tehtaalle, jossa se on integroitu saumattomasti olemassa oleviin koneisiin ja työkaluihin. Tämä on parantanut joustavuutta tuotannon suunnittelussa ja kapasiteetin tasaamisessa. Uusi laite on tärkeä askel yrityksemme kasvusuunnitelman saavuttamisessa, ja se tarjoaa mahdollisuuden kehittää innovatiivisia turvajalkineita, jotka perustuvat parhaaseen saatavilla olevaan teknologiaan.
We are very excited about our new production capacity. It gives the opportunity to offer the market further improved protective shoe products and thus get another step closer to Ejendal's vision - Zero injuries to hands and feet.

The new and unique JALAS® TIO technology
In 2019, we invested in another machine that we call Stemma 5. This investment enabled us to produce JALAS TIO. We continuously invest in our capacity and technological capabilities. The new machine is particularly important for products that will be launched in 2024 and 2025.
When it comes to our latest product, JALAS TIO, we developed a completely new technology that did not exist on the market.

Product Line Director, Footwear at Ejendals

TIO stands for Three-In-One
Three unique layers become one superior sole. The manufacturing technique creates micro air bubbles that give long-lasting softness, lightness and good slip resistance.
- White layer - Stability to protect back and knees
- Yellow layer - Softness for ultimate comfort
- Black layer - Slip resistance to walk safely
15 new jobs for the local community
As a result of the investment, JALAS is expanding its production capacity, creating new job opportunities for the local community.
We have hired 15 additional employees to support the production increase and ensure a seamless transition into the new technology.
Fruitful partnership
The chosen supplier for the machinery is Stemma S.r.l, Ejendals' long-term partner in shoe injection machinery and product development. The partnership between Ejendals and Stemma S.r.l has been fruitful in the past, resulting in the production of high-quality, reliable safety shoes that meet the needs of the market.
Growing demand for JALAS safety shoes
This investment is expected to have a positive impact on the overall productivity and efficiency of JALAS' manufacturing process, enabling us to meet the growing demand for JALAS safety shoes.
Moreover, it will contribute to the local economy by creating new job opportunities and fostering sustainable growth in the region.
