More than 11 years ago, a factory was established that has since become one of the most prominent players in the Estonian woodworking industry. In 2022, Vincom was honored with the title of “Viljandi County Company of the Year,” affirming their significant contribution and innovation in the field. Today, Vincom employs 110 people.
Vincom primarily focuses on the production of finger-jointed and laminated components from pine and spruce, offering quality solutions for the window, door, stair, furniture, and molding industries both in Estonia and across Europe. 90% of their production is exported worldwide, demonstrating their ability to compete on the international market. Each component is produced according to the specific needs and desires of the client, making Vincom an essential partner to many industries.
Growth and development
In its early years, the company concentrated on the local market, but it soon proved that its quality and reliability met the expectations of international clients. The integration with Combimill Sakala sawmill and investments in intelligent manufacturing solutions have given Vincom a significant competitive advantage.
In 2024, Vincom joined forces with another member of our group, Combilink, opening up new possibilities for product development and technical capabilities. Together, they can offer an expanded product range and elevate production processes to a new level.
Sustainability – We prefer local
Vincom’s manufacturing processes are based on the principles of responsible forestry, primarily using locally sourced, certified timber from Estonia. Collaboration with Combimill Sakala sawmill significantly reduces the environmental impact from factory-to-factory transportation, improving both the efficiency and sustainability of production processes. “Our goal is to provide quality that meets international standards while maintaining an environmentally conscious production,” emphasizes Janek Laisaar, the factory manager of Vincom.
Production at Vincom – How a glued wooden component is made?
Everything starts with the raw material – FSC- and PEFC-certified pine and spruce, which are processed with great precision. Logs are cut into dimensioned lumber on a band saw line, sorted by cross-section and quality, and then dried to the desired final moisture content.
The dried material moves to the calibration and optimisation phase, where it is adjusted to meet predefined quality requirements. Finger joint presses are used to bond these wood strips into durable, stable components. “Our production lines, equipped with state-of-the-art automation, ensure that the quality of our products consistently meets customer expectations,” states the factory manager.
In the next stage, the finger-jointed strips are planed to achieve precise dimensions. They are then laminated layer by layer using high-quality glue. The gluing process is tailored to the specifications of the client’s products, ensuring the longevity and mechanical strength of the products. After finishing and quality control, the products are carefully packaged to ensure safe transport to customers.
The team is the foundation of success
Vincom is a significant employer in the local community, offering stable jobs and strengthening the economy of Viljandi and Võru counties. The average time an employee stays at Vincom exceeds five years, indicating employee satisfaction and loyalty.
Margus, who has been with the company for over 10 years, highlights that “an open and inclusive management style” is one of the main reasons he continues at Vincom. The company continuously invests in the well-being of the work environment. In 2024, Vincom joined the Diversity Agreement, reaffirming its commitment to respect diversity and ensure equal treatment for employees, clients, and partners alike.
A look into the future
Vincom continues to develop quality, customer satisfaction, environmental sustainability and resource efficiency. Future plans include investments in technology and increasing production capacity, opening opportunities for new projects tailored to the wishes and needs of customers.
