Submission declined on 29 October 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Beamex Oy Ab is a company specializing in calibration technology for process instruments. Beamex's headquarters is located in Pietarsaari.^[1]

Beamex designs and manufactures calibration devices, calibration-related software, various services, as well as maintenance and support functions. In 1990, it received the Export Award from the President of Finland.^[2]

The Beamex Group comprises the parent company, Beamex Oy Ab, and its subsidiaries: Beamex Inc. (USA), Beamex Ltd. (UK), Beamex S.A.S. (France), and Beamex GmbH (Germany, known as Germex GmbH until 2017).^[3] Beamex also has offices in India, China, and Saudi Arabia.

Beamex's partner network sells its products worldwide, with over 80 partners globally. Beamex has more than 14,000 customers across over 130 countries.^[4]

Since 1984, Beamex has been part of the Finnish Sarlin Group.^[5]

History

In 1975, instrument technicians Eero Halonen, Krister Knuts, Veijo Meriläinen, and Nils-Erik Sundfors worked at the Schaumann (later UPM) pulp mill in Pietarsaari. Frustrated with the calibration tools of that time, they decided to start their own company to develop these devices. Beamex began its operations in the basement of a local fish shop. The first calibrator intended for sale was named the VA Calibrator and was launched in 1976.

In 1984, Sarlin acquired Beamex, which at the time had 17 employees and a turnover of just over one million euros, with approximately 70% of revenue coming from exports.

Eero Halonen served as the company's first CEO until October 1998. He was succeeded by Dr. Raimo Ahola, who led the company for 17 years before retiring. Since 2015, Jan-Henrik Svensson has been the CEO.
