COMPANY

Cathodex Oy started its operations in 1996. The maintenance of cathode plates, however, was started already in 1984 by the parent company, SKM Teollisuusmuovit. Cathodex Oy later specialised in cathode plate technology, while SKM Teollisuusmuovit continued with the manufacture of combination pipelines, tanks and basins for demanding applications in the chemistry and process industry.

At the end of 1990's, Cathodex Oy manufactured the first cathode plates based on its own edge strip technology. The company invested heavily in the development of cathode plate production technology during the following years. The edge strip production technology resulting from this development allows for a long lifetime for cathode plates as well as significant maintenance cost savings. The technology that was developed as a solution for the inevitable problems of conventional edge strips has been known as Cathodex since 2007. The company changed its name from Pro Mark Oy to Cathodex Oy in 2010.

Hanger bar design was a special focus for Cathodex Oy in 2009 and 2010. As a result of this work, Cathodex Oy is now also able to offer comprehensive solutions related to hanger bar design and welding.
