Ylijoki Metsäenergia Oy: Fast spare part delivery keeps the wheels turning
Ylijoki Metsäenergia Oy is a significant player in the field of recycling and biomass deliveries for sawmills, pulp mills and energy plants in southern and western Finland. In addition to logistics solutions, the company also provides the industry with chipping services off-road and in terminals.
The company operates 32 vehicle combinations and 15 chippers. The fleet also includes a number of wheel loaders and terminal machines.
“Our need for spare parts is considerable since we operate such a large number of vehicles and machines,” says Marko Ylijoki, who is responsible for fleet maintenance.
The partnership with BussiPro started years ago, when Ylijoki noticed a new player on the market and contacted BussiPro about spare parts and consumables. Since then, BussiPro has supplied Ylijoki Metsäenergia with replacement engines and spare parts for engines and brakes and provided maintenance and installation services for fire suppression systems.
BussiPro’s expertise, quality products and fast delivery have been the cornerstones of the long-standing partnership.
“We have received everything we needed quickly and reliably,” Ylijoki says with appreciation.
He recalls a good example of this: a situation when one of the company’s chippers suffered an engine failure. BussiPro delivered a replacement engine so quickly that the chipper was back in use on the work site within days.
Helokivi has found a solution together with BussiPro. Helokivi operates a fleet of nearly 100 units of tankers, shunters, construction machines and other heavy equipment around Southern Finland. Now the fleet is serviced in cooperation with BussiPro's TruckCare concept, which means that the most commonly required spare parts can be found in BussiPro's warehouse directly on the shelf in Helokivi's own service hall.
