Artistic steel construction with Kemppi

5. Juli 2015

When you think about welding, what is the first thing that pops up in your mind? For some, it could be a welder’s helmet, or perhaps an electric arc. If you thought of Kemppi, you just made hundreds of Kemppi Group employees smile for doing a great job!

Many associate welding with industrial endeavors, factory environments or personal projects in the cozy corner of one’s garage. However, this is only a part of the scope of how welding translates to different kinds of areas. In addition to functional purposes, welding is a common means of creating art for sculptors and artists all over the world.

Tomasz Domański, a Polish artist with a long and versatile career, utilized Kemppi Minarc 150 in the creation of a magnificent steel sculpture ‘Square Babel’. The whopping 8-meter tall sculpture is situated in Skulpturenpark in Katzow, Germany, where it is possible to browse approximately 50 works from various international artists. Having done challenging work in the heights, Domański commends the efficiency of a Kemppi welding machine and continues to work with Kemppi machines in his future projects. A similar project is already underway near Wroclaw, Poland, which will be the European Capital of Culture in 2016.

All the best for the future, Tomasz!

The Laulupuut ('Song Trees') artwork, designed by sculptor Reijo Hukkanen, also extends around the pike. The sculpture made of aluminum and steel has proven exceptionally popular. However, both its makers and Hukkanen himself let out a sigh of relief when it was erected in August 2012.

50 years of partnership between a man and a welding machine

In the 1960s, there was a huge shortage of professional welders in Finnish growth centers. That is why Keijo Olkoniemi, whose career as a welder has lasted for almost 50 years, trained to become a welder, a profession which has offered him challenges throughout his career. ”I remember when they said at the dockyard in Hietaniemi, Helsinki that you can bring a train full of skillful employees, and we will hire them all,” Olkoniemi says, laughing.
