Company

Pentin Paja (Pentti’s Workshop) started in 1964. What started as a car repair shop in the small village of Naarva is today an innovative, international and ever-growing company. We specialise in the product development and manufacture of equipment for small wood harvesting, forestry and firewood production. In addition, we manufacture high-quality workpiece positionners for industry.

We sell more than 10 different models of stroke harvesters, felling heads, energy wood grapples and uprooters under the Naarva brand. The Naarva product family offers equipment for base machines of all machine manufacturers: tractors, forestry machines, excavators and trucks. Naarva products are used for various purposes, including energy wood harvesting, first thinning, removal of problem trees, cleaning of seedling stands, as well as for clearing of road shoulders and field edges. We have delivered Naarva products to over 30 countries.

At the beginning of 2020, NewFiro was merged into Pentin Paja Oy. Our wide range of NewFiro products includes workpiece handling equipment for different sizes and shapes of workpieces, and a large proportion of orders are tailored to meet the specific needs of each customer.

Our core strength is our own product development. We try to keep things adequately simple and easily workable from the technical aspect. Moreover, the core of our product design has always been practicality and durability of the products.

The company started its business in a small village called Naarva in Ilomantsi. Today we have production facilities in Ilomantsi and Joensuu. The company has 2000 m2 of production areas.

Between 2022 and 2025, Pentin Paja carried out a series of development projects supported by the European Union. The work focused on:

  • Developing new products
  • Improving the efficiency of our manufacturing processes
  • Developing and modernising our digital systems

These investments strengthen our competitiveness, improve productivity and enable us to serve our customers with even higher quality in the future.
This project has been implemented with funding from the Innovation and Skills in Finland 2021–2027 EU regional and structural policy programme, financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
