Technical excellence and industrial power: Metsjö as a partner for special projects

Within defence, security-critical industry, agriculture, and contracting, special projects often involve significant risks: uncertain approval processes, insufficient documentation, long lead times, and limited possibilities for future modifications.
At Metsjö, we have engineered these risks out of the equation.

By combining agile engineering expertise in mechanics, structural design, hydraulics, and system integration with industrial production capacity and certified processes, we deliver customized solutions with full traceability, lifecycle security, and authority-compliant documentation.

A Proven Partner for Extreme and Regulated Requirements

Metsjö has extensive experience collaborating with:

  • European defence forces

  • Security-critical industrial sectors

  • Technical authorities and procurement organizations

  • End customers and distributors

We are accustomed to operating in environments where:

  • Structural integrity and functional safety are business-critical

  • Delivery precision is essential

  • Documentation and spare parts availability must be ensured for decades

This is not an add-on capability — it is an integrated part of how Metsjö operates.

Metsjö is a Swedish manufacturer and development partner for organizations that require high structural strength, traceability, certified production, and long-term lifecycle management.

Experience with Authorities and ISP Approval Processes

Metsjö has documented experience in projects that require:

  • Dialogue with Swedish and international authorities

  • Management of export control regulations

  • Approval processes involving ISP (Inspectorate of Strategic Products) and notified inspection bodies

We understand:

  • How technical documentation must be structured

  • How traceability and version control must be secured

  • How projects can be executed efficiently within regulatory frameworks

For the customer, this means reduced risk, shorter lead times, and fewer surprises during critical project phases.

In-House Production for Total Supply Security

As a fully Swedish manufacturer with our own machinery and facilities, Metsjö offers a high level of Sovereign Capability.

We control the entire production chain:

  • Tube laser and flatbed laser cutting with 3D cutting capability and advanced bending

  • Manual precision welding according to certified methods and processes

  • Certified surface treatment and painting

  • Final assembly and system integration with documented delivery protocols

This provides:

  • Independence from uncertain global supply chains

  • Full control over lead times and production priorities

  • The ability to rapidly scale from prototype to series production

Fast, Iterative, and Collaborative Development

One of Metsjö’s greatest strengths is our ability to work quickly and iteratively in close collaboration with the customer’s technical teams or based on evolving requirements.

We excel in advanced development projects where:

  • Requirements evolve over time

  • Prototypes must be tested, modified, and validated rapidly (we operate our own test facilities)

  • Mechanics, hydraulics, electronics, software, and structural design must interact seamlessly

Through close collaboration between:

  • Design engineers

  • Production

  • End users

we shorten development cycles while simultaneously increasing the quality of the final solution.

Digital Assurance: 3D Design and FEA Verification

All projects are developed in advanced 3D environments, and critical components are verified using FEA analysis (Finite Element Analysis) prior to production.

This enables:

  • Simulated strength and service life before the first steel is cut

  • Digital verification of load cases and extreme operating scenarios

  • A documentation level that meets both industrial and military requirements

All drawings and analyses are securely archived for future service, spare parts, upgrades, and re-certification.

Market-Leading Traceability and ERP Systems

Our advanced ERP system logs every step of production:

  • Installed components

  • Materials and serial numbers

  • Time, location, responsible function, and full audit trail

For defence and security-related projects, we offer:

  • Full batch traceability of materials

  • Individual tracking of hydraulics, mechatronics, and load-bearing components

Certified Quality and EU-Approved Production

Metsjö meets international requirements for advanced and regulated projects:

  • ISO 9001 – Quality management

  • ISO 3834-2 & EN 1090 – Welding and load-bearing structures

  • COP – Certificate of Production under EU Type Approval

  • Environmentally certified operations

The COP approval ensures that every produced unit conforms to the approved design — a critical factor for series production, upgrades, and long-term support.

A Complete Technology Partner – From Concept to Lifecycle

Metsjö combines expertise in:

  • Advanced steel structures

  • Hydraulics and power systems

  • Electronics and mechatronics

  • Production, documentation, and lifecycle support

The result is customized solutions with industrial reliability — engineered to operate, be serviced, and evolve throughout their entire lifespan.
