The company operates with a dynamic team of three employees, with customers ranging from private individuals to large industrial corporations operating at various fields. The company’s assignments vary across several industries such as automotive, marine, mining, ceramics and more.

Entering the biomaterials sector

Recently, Turun Water Cut has taken an interest in the biomaterials sector, viewing it as a new frontier for their water cutting services. They discovered that biomaterials respond well to water cutting, opening great potential for expansion.
