"Although VK did not yet have any finished 9000 series models to show us when purchasing the debarker, we were willing to invest in it. The debarker’s components are supplied by companies we are familiar with and consider good suppliers, which affeced our decision", Mäkelä stated.
Mäkelä said that the project with Valon Kone went smoothly and quickly. Junnikkala defined a delivery schedule for the debarker and VK committed to it.
"The mechanical installation and start-up of the debarker went well, Mäkelä said. Of course, some challenges always occur in this type of project, but we received full support from VK throughout the process", he added. "Now the debarker is in normal operation and we do not have to ask for much from VK – apart from small software adjustments. Valon Kone is a reliable supplier", Mäkelä concluded.
VK’s sales director Teemu Tynkkynen agrees that the sales and delivery process with Junnikkala went smooth and straightforward. "We are happy that Junnikkala gave us the opportunity to bring a new generation VK debarker to Oulu even though we did not yet have the new VK9000 series machine in operation at the sales stage. As a result, we now have a top-class reference site in Northern Finland also", Tynkkynen added.
