Finland, a global leader in high-tech manufacturing, circular economy practices, and demanding wood-based processing, presents a unique set of operating conditions for electric powertrains. The transition towards green economy targets and climate neutrality by 2035 demands state-of-the-art efficiency, while sub-zero winters require unmatched mechanical durability. Industrial installations in municipalities like Espoo, Tampere, and Oulu demand high-voltage (HV) motors capable of seamless integration, optimized energy consumption, and high uptime parameters.
Finland's extensive paper mills demand continuous duty (S1 cycle) motors to power massive refiners, chippers, and vacuum pumps. Our YKK and YKS ranges provide high thermal tolerances and dust-proof sealing, preventing pulp dust ingress and safeguarding critical production assets.
Mining operations in Northern Finland require rugged machinery that operates under heavy shocks and severe cold. The TDMK synchronous motors and Y2 asynchronous motors are built with fortified cast frames and specialized lubrication protocols to operate down to -40°C.
Finnish municipal heating plants deploy large-scale water-circulating pumps requiring reliable 6kV or 10kV motor systems. Our low-vibration YKS water-cooled motor solutions minimize noise emissions, aligning perfectly with strict environmental urban regulations.

All motor designs undergo rigorous stress testing, thermal run profiling, and vibration spectrum testing. For critical deployments, we offer integration of bearing temperature RTDs (Pt100), winding RTDs, and space heaters to protect insulation systems from moisture condensations during winter downtime.
In the modern global economic landscape, supply chain efficiency, cost predictability, and production speed are paramount. Our factory in Xi'an, China, offers a strategic edge to procurement executives in Finland. While localized EU manufacturing faces rising utility costs and labor limits, our integrated production ecosystem delivers reliable solutions without compromising on strict technical requirements.
From custom frame casting and magnetic core punching to coil winding and VPI, we execute all core processes in-house. This structure limits dependence on external suppliers, allowing us to maintain predictable delivery timelines.
We source raw electromagnetic copper and high-grade silicon steel sheet laminations from premier suppliers. Combined with authentic bearings from leading global brands (such as SKF or FAG), our assemblies match local European standards.
Simo motors are verified for compliance with ISO9001, EU CE, US UL, Russian GOST, and international ATEX explosion-proof requirements, ensuring seamless deployment in any Finnish factory environment.

Answers to common technical and logistical questions when importing high-voltage motors to Finland.
Standard industrial builds generally require 8 to 12 weeks for production, testing, and VPI treatments. Maritime transit to major ports like Helsinki or Kotka adds 4 to 5 weeks. For urgent cases, air shipping option can be arranged.
Yes. Our YBX3 and YFB3 explosion-proof series conform to ATEX and IECEx standards, making them suitable for hazardous environments like petrochemical processing or dust-prone grain silos in Finland.
We build our motors with specialized low-temperature greases and integrated space heaters. These heaters prevent condensation on windings during shut-down, protecting insulation and ensuring reliable cold starts.
For confined indoor utility areas, water-cooled YKS series are highly recommended. They provide low noise levels and efficient heat transfer without requiring complex indoor ventilation ducting.
