Due to the increasing competition in the automation market and clients striving to centralize to only few exclusive suppliers, Sintrol Oy has bought a company called PPM-Systems Oy, www.ppmsystems.fi. By combining both resources we are more able to face future challenges as company grows in number as well as in know-how. PPM-Systems have a staff of 11 people in Finland and 10 people in Russia, where they have currently offices both in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Finnish staff will be united with Sintrol in Helsinki by the end of this year.
