Fira, a construction service company, has agreed with Kimet Oy, a steel and aluminum wholesaler belonging to the St\u00e9n & Co group, to build a 2,600-space automated warehouse and a separate handling hall in Nurmij\u00e4rvi. Fira has also acted as the project developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main contract includes a 2,000 square meter extension to the existing warehouse building and 1,000 square meters of new, high automated warehouse space, for which Fira will build the foundations and wall structures for the automated warehouse system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We wanted a construction company with experience in industrial hall construction. Fira convinced us with their professionalism during the bidding phase, and we have been satisfied with them so far, as the construction project has already started,” says Mikko Sten<\/strong>, CEO of Kimet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project development phase has been carried out in close cooperation between Kimet and Fira, and any potential problems were resolved already during the bidding phase. The project has also ensured the seamless operation of site activities and the client’s warehouse operations and logistics through careful coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ilvesvuori project represents Fira’s core expertise and adds valuable projects to our current portfolio. Although the project is not massive, it demonstrates Fira’s competitiveness and broad expertise in logistics construction. It is easy and good to develop solutions and joint activities with the St\u00e9n group. Such customer relationships are particularly valuable to us,” says Panu Pohjola<\/strong>, Director of Commercial Construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ilvesvuori is a developing industrial and logistics hub in Nurmij\u00e4rvi, along Highway 3. The construction of Kimet’s warehouse building is progressing rapidly, starting in the spring of 2025, and the automated warehouse will be operational in the winter of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n
