Jennmar Expands European Reach with Outokumpu Kemi Mine Contract
A multi-year supply agreement between Pittsburgh-based Jennmar and Outokumpu Corporation marks a strategic expansion for the infrastructure provider. By securing the ground control contract for Finland's Kemi Mine—the European Union's sole operational chrome mine—Jennmar has launched a local entity to streamline logistics and technical support for the site.
To manage this partnership, the company has established Jennmar Finland. Mike Petkovich, President of Jennmar Europe, described the agreement as a significant opportunity to showcase the firm's technical capabilities in the region. Henri Simpanen, Head of the Kemi Mine, emphasized that the collaboration is central to maintaining the high safety standards required for the mine's personnel while mitigating production risks. Beyond supply, Jennmar teams will work directly with mine management to implement change-management processes aimed at optimizing overall operational efficiency.
