Decades of Expertise

Founded in 1955 by Jouko Kattelus and Väinö Salli, Katsa began as a machining subcontractor and grew into a leader in mechanical power transmission solutions. By the 1960s, the company focused on custom-designed products and expanded internationally in the 1970s, exporting to Sweden, Brazil, and Germany. In the 1980s, Katsa transitioned from gearwheel manufacturing to supplying complete gear units, driven by significant investments in design and engineering. Over the years, the company became a key partner for major engine factories, specializing in large diesel engine gearwheels. From 2006 to 2009, Katsa experienced rapid growth, expanded its production capacity, and entered the wind turbine industry, mastering the challenges of large-scale, high-precision manufacturing while maintaining its commitment to innovation and quality.
