History

[edit]

1970–1999

[edit]

Ari Elo, from Turku, founded Elomatic in 1970.[11]

In 1979, the Swedish shipyard Karlskronavarvet and Elomatic agreed on the design of two tankers.[12]

The Elomatic group developed a computer program for its own use for the design of ships.[13] In 1982, the company's engineering design software business was incorporated as a separate company. In 1985, the subsidiary Cadmatic Inc. was founded in the United States.[13]

Half of the revenue of the Elomatic group, which employed 180 people at the time, came from exports. It also had subsidiaries in Sweden and Norway.[13]

In September 1999, Elomatic and Deltamarin signed a ship design agreement with the American company Litton Ingalls Shipbuilding.[14] The order covered two luxury passenger ships intended for service in Hawaii.[15]

2000–

[edit]

In 2006, the company signed an agreement with the Aker Yards shipyard on the design of a Genesis-class cruise ship.[16]

In May 2014, Elomatic bought a stake in Wellquip.[17] Later that year, Elomatic and Wellquip began cooperation with Aker Arctic. The companies aimed to design and market offshore structures.[18]

In 2016, the company had almost 800 employees in Finland, the Netherlands, India, Italy, China, Poland, Serbia, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates. Elomatic and Deltamarin signed an agreement with the German shipyard MV Werften on the design of a Global-class passenger ship.[19]

In 2018, Elomatic and Deltamarin announced that they would design a second Global-class vessel for MV Werften.[20] The same year, Elomatic bought the Finnish country company of the Swedish FS Dynamics, which specialized in consulting related to computational fluid dynamics and structural analysis services.[21]

In 2020, Elomatic had more than 1,100 employees. In 2021, Flexens[22] and Elomatic founded Green H2UB Oy.[23]

In September 2023, Elomatic bought Elron Oy, which operates in the energy sector as a consulting company, particularly in wind power production.[24] In October 2023, the company invested in the Canadian subsidiary of the Norwegian Varme Energy, which turns waste into energy.[25]

In January 2025 Elomatic bought Ablemans LCS, which focuses on retrofit projects in the shipbuilding industry.[26]

Organization

[edit]

In 2026 the group has offices in 18 countries, including Finland, India, Canada, Poland, Germany and the United States.[27]

Elomatic's CEO is Tom Lind and the chairman of the board is Patrik Rautaheimo.[1] In addition to Ari Elo and his family, the company's owners include company personnel.[3]

The company makes design software needed in shipbuilding, construction and the process industry.[29] Cadmatic has more than 20 offices on five continents.[30]

Elomatic's subsidiary Green North Energy (originally Green H2UB Oy)[23] is developing the Naantali hydrogen project, which includes plans for a facility producing green hydrogen and ammonia[31] in connection with Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto's power plant in Naantali.[23] The company has also signed letters of intent for hydrogen and ammonia plants in the Finnish cities of Kemi and Pori[32] and on supplying green ammonia produced with renewable electricity to a cargo ship that Meriaura has ordered from Wärtsilä.[33]
