Orfer Oy
Orfer Oy is a Finnish automation company founded in 1970 specializing in robotic palletizing systems and secondary packaging machines for food and beverage.
Orfer Oy is a Finnish industrial automation company headquartered in Orimattila, Finland, in the Päijät-Häme region. Founded in 1970 as a family business, Orfer has remained at its original location for over five decades while delivering solutions worldwide. The company employs approximately 52 people and operates as part of the Orfer Group, which consists of two limited companies: Orfer Oy and Orfer Services Oy.
Orfer specializes in secondary packaging automation and robotic palletizing systems, with the food and beverage industry as its primary market. The company's expertise in palletizing dates to 1982, when it developed its first palletizing cell, followed by a palletizer patent in 1984. Robotic palletizing was introduced in 1995, and in 1997 Kawasaki recognized Orfer for delivering the world's best robotics solution that year.
Orfer is an official Kawasaki and Toshiba robot partner. Its robotic palletizing systems use Kawasaki robots integrated into compact, space-efficient layouts. Product lines include the PalletCell, PalletCell Advanced, and PalletCell Advanced Plus—modular solutions designed for food and consumer goods manufacturers requiring flexible pallet configurations.
For secondary packaging, Orfer offers the BoxCell and BoxCellPlus—automated packing cells capable of opening flattened boxes, folding flaps, taping bottoms, and filling with product in a single integrated workflow. These systems target manufacturers seeking to automate end-of-line packaging operations without large footprint requirements.
Orfer provides 24/7 remote monitoring for all installed systems, supporting customers globally. Its automation solutions are designed, manufactured, and tested in Finland before installation. Orfer is a member of the Valio Food 2.0 ecosystem, reflecting its strong ties to the Finnish food manufacturing sector.
