Tervakoski Film has a history of being one of the first capacitor film brands on the dielectric market. Originally, the company was founded in Finland and its roots go all the way back to 1921.
This transition from Finland to Slovakia and Ukraine has left its mark on the company culture – combining the best features of Nordic and Slavic working habits.
Scandinavian way of thinking
Concentrated people over their working tables, small discussions happening by the machines, and lift forks moving huge rolls around the halls. Yet no hassle, rush, or loud noises are present at the premises in Svit when visiting the production facilities. The atmosphere is active yet calm – even serene.
Production facilities seem squeaky clean – just as required for producing high-quality capacitor films. The purity and precision in production, high-quality raw materials, modern machinery, and excellent know-how and expertise ensure Tervakoski Film products achieve the highest quality daily.
The best possible electrical conductivity is achieved in production facilities where no dust or other particles have access to the film during the production phase.
Additionally, clean and tidy production facilities and well-structured operations improve occupational well-being.
“Our company originates in Finland where the first dielectric materials for capacitors were produced in the 1920s. The culture has Scandinavian roots, and many cultural aspects picked up from Finland still prevail”, explains Ladislav Dulovič, Financial and Administrative Director of Terichem Tervakoski, a.s.
Dulovič further describes Scandinavian ways of working that persist at the company. Lean organizational culture with clear responsibilities is a distinguishing feature not commonly found in other companies in the area.
“Some unwritten rules in our company culture still originate from Finland, like the habit of responding quickly to emails. Short reaction time and accuracy describe our precise working culture quite well,” Dulovič continues.
“But ultimately, it’s the people who shape the culture. They are making the company better every day.”
Global company with growth opportunities
The long history and stability of the company enable growth and aim towards a sustainable future – a goal achieved not in months but over years.
“Our products help the world reduce CO2 emissions and thus further the achievement of common, global climate goals”, states Jari Nurminen, CEO of Terichem Tervakoski, a.s.
Thus, despite running relatively small factories in Slovakian and Ukrainian rural areas, the company is combating the global fight against climate change.
During his 21 years in the company, Ladislav Dulovič has witnessed the company’s growth as well as the impact of globalization on younger generations.
“Globalization is bridging cultural gaps. Young people are more like-minded, they share a common base. It’s not just Scandinavian and Slavic cultures anymore: the company culture is becoming more global,” Dulovič describes.
A resilient company with ambitious long-term plans offers employees stability and opportunities to enhance their skills and abilities.
“There are always possibilities for growth and self-development,” says Tomas Toth, Logistics Manager and Sales Executive, who has been working in the company for 14 years.
“For me, it’s crucial to be part of a modern company that is continuously evolving. We make new investments, have modern machines, renovated buildings, and young talent joining the company,” adds Martin Navratil, Supervisor Technician R&D Laboratory at Terichem Tervakoski, as.
