Porin Terästyö Oy staffing and accounting services

Challenge

Porin Terästyö Oy provides quality and diverse metal subcontracting services to customers requiring metal processing. The company competes in the metal subcontracting market based on work quality and delivery reliability. In spring 2012, the company faced challenges in personnel staffing - it was difficult to find suitable workers from the open labor market, and existing cooperation partners were insufficient to meet the company's workforce needs. Additionally, the company needed reliable accounting and financial management services.

"Econia knows what we need and does their job well. We have had sheet metal welders, machinists and saw operators through Econia. Some have been with us for longer periods and some for shorter work relationships. Econia has been able to offer us workers who have proven to be really good. Satisfaction with the cooperation just keeps improving." - Mika Fagerlund, Production Manager, Porin Terästyö Oy

"Econia has had good aces up their sleeve regarding workers, and they have been able to find suitable people from places where we ourselves wouldn't know to look. Pricing is competitive and the business model is good. Help is always available by phone and Econia is active towards us. It's important to me that on the other end there is a person I can easily negotiate with." - Mika Fagerlund

"Of course in changes we always strive for better, that was also our goal when we took on a new partner. Econia has comprehensive services, strong professional expertise and excellent service attitude, which will certainly help Econia with other customers as well." - Mika Fagerlund
