OÜ HELMETAL IMS

What OÜ HELMETAL IMS does

OÜ HELMETAL IMS is an Estonian privately held metalworking subcontractor founded in 2002, providing sheet metal cutting, CNC turning and milling, bending, welding, finishing, final assembly, and on-site installation of metal structures for industrial customers. The company operates two owned facilities: a 9,300+ m² production complex in Tihemetsa (equipped with AJAN CNC plasma/gas cutting, Doosan Puma and Okuma lathes, Hartford and Mecof CNC mills, an Ermaksan 200-ton press brake, shot-blasting, and Graco/Wagner/Dürr painting systems) and a dedicated final-assembly unit in Päri with up to 20-ton lifting capacity, a 350 bar/300 L/min hydraulic power unit, tube bending, hose crimping, and Walform tube-end forming. Helmetal holds EN ISO 9001, EN ISO 1090-1, EN ISO 3834, and welding certifications, enabling CE marking for installed steel and aluminium structures.

The business serves enterprise customers across the industrial, environmental, energy, and process-manufacturing verticals in Estonia and seven additional European countries (Finland, Sweden, Germany, Poland, France, Denmark, Latvia). Documented reference projects include electrostatic precipitator (ESP), bag-house filter (BHF), and SCR installations for clients such as Ørsted (Denmark), Weig (Germany), Aldaris (Latvia), and Saku (Estonia), alongside brewing-tank relocation and other custom metalwork. Revenue is generated through project-based quotations for subcontracted production, assembly, and installation rather than recurring contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per project. The company goes to market via direct B2B enterprise field sales with a multilingual website (Estonian, English, Finnish, Russian, Swedish) as the primary marketing channel, and is led by Director Vitali Kangur and Production Manager Aleksandr Melnikov. In 2025 the company received a EUR 210,090 EU NextGenerationEU Recovery and Resilience Fund grant to acquire and deploy a battery bank, signaling a modest extension of installation capabilities into energy-storage equipment.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Metalworking subcontract production Contract manufacturing of metal components and parts to industrial customer specifications, carried out in the Estonian facility using a modern machinery fleet and supported by EN ISO 9001 quality management. Intended for industrial buyers outsourcing metal fabrication.
• Final assembly of metal products Assembly of finished metal products and subassemblies at the Estonian facility, integrating fabricated components into final units for industrial customers. Targets buyers who want a single subcontractor to take work from parts through to assembled products.
• On-site installation of metal structures Installation of metal and steel structures at customer sites across multiple European countries, performed under EN ISO 1090-1 structural fabrication and EN ISO 3834 welding quality standards. Intended for industrial and construction buyers requiring certified on-site assembly.

Broad incumbents

• Lindab AB: Lindab is a large Swedish-listed manufacturer of steel building components and ventilation products serving the European construction market. It is a broad incumbent in the same Nordic metal-fabrication space, with overlapping capability in sheet-metal products and structural components.
• Voestalpine AG: Voestalpine is a major Austrian steelmaker and metal-processing group with multiple divisions covering special steel, metal forming, and welded structures. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities in industrial metal fabrication and structural components, competing for some of the same European industrial customers.

Direct peers

• Weland AB: Weland is a Swedish metal products manufacturer producing steel and aluminium fabricated products for industrial and construction customers. Comparable to Helmetal in Nordic footprint, metal-fabrication depth, and B2B industrial customer base.
• Harju Elekter Group: Harju Elekter is an Estonian industrial group producing metal enclosures, electrical equipment cabinets, and similar fabricated metal products. While more electrical-product focused, its core manufacturing is metalworking subcontracting with international reach, closely comparable in geography and customer type.
• Komaspec OÜ: Komaspec is an Estonian contract metal manufacturer offering CNC machining, sheet-metal fabrication, and assembly services to European industrial clients. Direct competitor in Baltic subcontract metalworking with similar size profile and service offerings.
• Treston Oy: Treston is a Finnish manufacturer of industrial metal furniture, workstations, and modular storage systems for industrial and laboratory customers. Comparable in Nordic base, metal-fabrication technology stack, and B2B industrial customer orientation.
• Normek Oy: Normek is a Finnish structural steel and metalwork subcontractor offering design, fabrication, and installation for industrial and commercial clients. It is the closest Nordic peer in scale and service mix (production + assembly + installation) to Helmetal IMS.
• Stalkon AS: Stalkon is an Estonian manufacturer of welded metal structures and components serving industrial customers. It is a direct Baltic peer, operating in the same subcontract metalworking category and competing for similar structural-fabrication work.

Emerging players

• Normet Group Oy: Normet is a Finnish manufacturer of underground mining and tunnelling equipment, with significant custom metal fabrication and assembly. While focused on mining rather than environmental installation, its production model (fabrication + assembly + service) overlaps materially with Helmetal's end-to-end subcontracting approach.

Regional players

• Skarpo s.r.o. Skarpo is a Czech metal-fabrication company producing welded steel structures, machinery components, and assemblies for European industrial customers. Operates in a comparable subcontract metalworking niche but serves primarily Central European rather than Nordic/Baltic markets.
