Our special expertise in defense and security
Product development
Through us, you get comprehensive product development services from ideation to implementation design. With our strong combination of simulation and mechanical design expertise, we execute challenging product development projects that require extensive competence.
We design products with their entire lifecycle in mind. We prepare for potential disruptions already at the design stage and produce all necessary technical documentation according to project requirements. Whether designing for harsh industrial environments, all-weather outdoor operations, or extreme environmental conditions, we ensure mission readiness and long-term sustainment.
Production facilities
We serve plant design projects and production scaling projects from project development to commissioning. Our strengths in plant design include a long history of process design, understanding the special features of the food industry, and expertise in safe chemical handling.
We design production spaces, production environments, and entire plant infrastructure to ensure that safety and operational efficiency are achieved in the best possible way. Our expertise covers all aspects of environmental, occupational, process, and machine safety, including systematic risk assessment and management. We also create plans for crisis preparedness, distributed production, and adaptable production facilities.
Icebreakers, government vessels, and marine technology
We are your trusted partner in demanding ship design projects. Our expertise includes icebreakers, rescue and patrol vessels, and other vessels designed for government use.
We also assist in developing marine technology and world-class vessels with our structural and computational fluid dynamics expertise. For example, we can model underwater radiated noise, develop hydrodynamics, and analyze wind, wave, and ice loads.
Demanding simulation projects
We provide sophisticated modeling and simulation services for complex systems analysis, threat scenario evaluation, and performance optimization across operational domains.
Our analytics capabilities support lifecycle extension programs and reliability-centered maintenance strategies. We identify potential failure points, optimize performance parameters, and validate system resilience. Through discrete event simulation and digital twin technologies, we model operational workflows, production systems, and logistics networks to identify bottlenecks and optimize throughput.
Energy industry and infrastructure
We promote carbon-neutral energy production by designing solutions for emission-free energy production and storage. Our expertise includes electric boilers, heat pumps, thermal energy storage, biofuel plants, wind and solar power, hydrogen economy, and nuclear power.
With deep expertise in energy distribution networks, we deliver comprehensive solutions for district heating and cooling infrastructure. Our services span network modeling and simulation, system design and optimization, and construction management. Partnering with our subsidiary Nomine Consult, we provide environmental impact assessments and regulatory compliance support for energy projects.
Reliable design expertise for demanding environments
We offer expert services and design for the defense and government sector as well as security-of-supply-critical industry needs. Our operations are based on certified quality, knowledge of safety standards, and long-term experience with demanding systems.
Our operations meet national and international security and data protection requirements. All our materials are reviewed before publication, and we work in secure and controlled environments according to requirements.
For design projects, we have security-classified facilities, information-secure tools and network solutions as well as security-cleared personnel. We participate in national and international expertise clusters and collaborate with prime contractors and subcontractors in security-of-supply-critical and defense industries. We are trusted in both operational field environments and supporting functions.
With our cutting-edge simulation expertise, we help with product development and determining and extending product lifecycles.

The biggest icebreaker of the Canadian Coast Guard is the result of collaboration between Elomatic and Seaspan Vancouver Shipyard
Elomatic has been a key engineering partner in vessel design from basic design to functional design and is continuing the collaboration in production design phase. An important part of the collaboration with Seaspan is the development of the capabilities at the shipyard including standards development, project management, process development, and design build support.
Kongsberg Maritime
Kongsberg Maritime, a Norwegian technology enterprise, is shaping the maritime future with sustainable technologies. For a product development project, Kongsberg Maritime hired Elomatic as a technical analysis partner to ensure the technical feasibility of a novel energy-saving solution. Throughout the project, Elomatic’s team demonstrated exceptional performance, earning increased responsibilities and a lead role.
From data to heat network safety: Elomatic helps Lempeä Lämpö manage geospatial data
When energy company Lempeä Lämpö set out to modernize its geospatial information system, it chose Elomatic as its partner and implemented the GroundWork platform. The new system’s flexibility has made further development seamless, while significantly enhancing safety.

40 years of computational fluid dynamics: FINFLO supports the Finnish Air Force and European Space Agency
The FINFLO software is designed to simulate flows around aircraft, space probes and ships. Originating in the 1990s, the software remains relevant today, enabling advanced compressible flow calculations and simulations of dynamically changing flow environments.
Visionary Karoliina Joensuu
Karoliina Joensuu has been leading Elomatic’s newly established Industry business unit since fall 2024. She highlights the crucial link between the green transition and security preparedness. However, she also points out that the transition itself introduces risks, as cutting-edge technologies must be implemented under tight schedules.
Smarter vessel design, quieter oceans
As sustainability expectations rise in the maritime industry, underwater noise reduction is moving rapidly up the agenda. While current guidelines from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) remain voluntary, future regulations are likely to make underwater radiated noise (URN) limits mandatory. Ports such as Vancouver and Prince Rupert are already incentivizing quieter vessels through tax reductions, underlining the growing importance of addressing URN today. Taking proactive steps now not only reduces environmental impact but also strengthens reputation and future-proofs fleets against upcoming regulations.
