Our story
In the early 1980s Finnish entrepreneur and inventor Olli Kytölä (“OK”) bought his first NC machining centers. Soon he became frustrated with the large size and small clamping force of machine vises and other workholding systems then available on the market for his brand new machines.
Once, when hanging laundry at home, he started thinking whether some sort of device similar to the screw anchor he used for attaching the clothes line to the brick wall could also be used in fixturing. His main goal was to achieve a high and accurate clamping force with a small device. The rest, as they say, is history – OK-VISE low-profile clamps had been born.
Company today
Today our products are available through a global distribution network. We are proud to ensure that even the most remote locations can be served within a few working days.
OK-VISE has grown into one of the most respected players in the industry due to its long-term work based on customer satisfaction and product quality. We still operate in Muurame, Central Finland, and we want to continue to be a part of the development of the local industry.
Our product family has grown since the early days and from the low-profile clamp. The biggest reasons for this have been the changing needs of the manufacturing industry and the increasing interest in modular fixturing methods. In fact, our strongest assets are based on excellent product expertise and market awareness, which help us bring more new innovations to the industry.
Our customer promise, “Workholding solutions for evolving production,” aptly reflects OK-VISE’s operations today. We are dedicated to offering solutions that scale with our customers’ production—ensuring that, regardless of the workpiece being clamped, our components provide a quick, safe, and effortless solution for fixture applications, making the process easier than ever before.
