Twin Disc Subsidiary Katsa Invests in New Assembly Plant to Meet Rising Global Demand
Twin Disc's Finnish subsidiary Katsa is building a 54,000-square-foot gearbox assembly facility and warehouse in Pirkkala, Finland, in response to double-digit percentage year-over-year demand growth. The plant, fully operational by May 2027, consolidates assembly, testing, and painting; Katsa expects to double gearbox assembly capacity by 2028 and is planning a phase two expansion. Growth is driven by defense, industrial power generation, and heavy-equipment demand, including indirect data-center exposure via backup power engine manufacturers.
