DBS Finland celebrate first Girth Gear manufacture milestone at new state-of-the-art facility


David Brown Santasalo Finland has recently celebrated the first segmented girth gear being manufactured in our new state-of-the-art factory in Jyväskylä, Finland. The girth gear, measuring 5.5 metres in diameter was manufactured for one of our valued customers in the Fibre and Paper industry. When back in operation, this impressive gear will drive a drum used for the de-fibering process of recycling paper. 

Our girth gear capabilities extend beyond 10 metres in diameter, giving us the ability to meet your personal requirements and we are proud to offer exceptional delivery times from our Jyväskylä location. Furthermore, we are able to easily and cost-effectively transport girth gears of any size, no matter how large, to our customers all over the world.

Pekka Leskinen, Managing Director – Finland at David Brown Santasalo said, “This was an exciting achievement for the team at our new location in Finland. I am extremely proud of the team in reaching this key milestone and we look forward to delivering further impressive girth gears in the near future.”
