Your supplier of professional transport solutions

In the early seventies, the time was ripe to expand the business, and a larger hall was built next to the old workshop. The Tylli brothers’ workshop now employed 5-6 people, and the company was entirely focused on in-house production.

After 33 years of persistent metalwork, it was time for a generational change in the company. Three brothers and three cousins now took over responsibility for the business, and Göran Tylli was appointed CEO.

In 1992, the company form was changed to a general partnership, and the company was renamed Tyllis Verkstad, öppet bolag – Tyllin Korjaamo, avoin yhtiö.

The business had grown and urgently needed more space. The dilemma was solved by renting painting facilities from Hartman Auto on Niittykatu in Kokkola.

The corporate form was changed a second time when the company was registered as a limited liability company, Tyllis Verkstad Ab – Tyllin Korjaamo Oy.

The company bought a property on Niittykatu, and all production was moved from Kaustari.

A blast hall was constructed to further the manufacturing process.

The new millennium got off to a rocky start for the company when a fire broke out in the production hall. During the subsequent renovation, both the office space and the production hall were enlarged. The company name was changed to Tyllis Oy Ab in the same year.

The renovated and newly built facilities were completed, and Tyllis rose from the ashes, stronger than ever.

It takes a lot of space to produce top-notch transport solutions. Tyllis needed more elbow room and decided to buy the neighbouring plot of land and its properties.

Tyllis obtained the ISO 9001:2000 quality certificate and the EN 729-3:1995 welding standard. The company employed 32 people at this time.

A new production hall was completed in October, increasing the production space by 1,000 m².

Hip-hip-hooray! A real milestone was reached when Tyllis celebrated its 50th anniversary in March. The same month, a new 200 square metre paint booth was opened. The workforce now totalled 42 people.

A CNC plasma cutting machine was taken into use. The machine streamlined the process of cutting out high-precision sheet metal components for production.

A growing business must always plan for the future. Tyllis, therefore, bought more land in the vicinity to make room for future expansion.

Man and machine joined forces as Tyllis welcomed the first welding robot to their factory.

Time passes and before you know it, Tyllis is celebrating its 60th anniversary. The experience of the past years was put to good use when planning new production facilities.

The factory was getting crowded. The steadily growing demand for Tyllis’s transport solutions once again required increased production capacity and more workspace. Therefore, the company started building new production facilities, another blast hall and a paint booth totalling 3,000 m². The workforce now totalled about 45 people.

The production facilities, which were under construction the previous year, now became operational.

A new generational renewal took place in Tyllis’s management, and it was now time for the third generation to assume greater responsibility for the company’s future. In the same year, the old production hall received energy-efficient LED lighting and a much-needed facade renovation.

Tyllis went green and installed solar panels with a total peak power of 110 kW. Some operations were rationalised thanks to the purchase of a new and larger CNC plasma cutting machine.
