TT Gaskets took part in the closing event of the REBOOT SKILLS project last week in Brussels, gathering European experts, project partners, SMEs and representatives from the manufacturing sector to discuss the future of skills and training in Europe. The event, held near the headquarters of the European Commission, marked the completion of a project that has significantly contributed to strengthening the capabilities of small and medium-sized industrial companies.
Representing TT Gaskets, CEO Aleksi Arpiainen shared insights on Continuous Learning & Renewal in a Family Business in Manufacturing, presenting the company’s approach to strategic competence development.
“This was an amazing program that helped us move from the earlier EU-funded and Dimecc-orchestrated ADMA TranS4MErs smart factory roadmap to real action.
At TT Gaskets, we believe the only constant is change — and the only recipe for that is continuous company-learning.
We aim to ourlearn our competition to stay relevant and constantly renew ourselves.”
The presentation highlighted how the company integrates learning into everyday work culture, combining hands-on development initiatives with structured training.
Through REBOOT SKILLS, TT Gaskets participated in several training modules designed to support the adoption of new technologies and modern manufacturing practices. These included:
Delivered through blended learning environments and guided by leading European instructors, the trainings provided practical, industry-relevant skills that TT Gaskets can directly apply to its operations.

For TT Gaskets, the journey does not stop here. The company remains committed to continuous learning, capability-building, and fostering a culture where people and technology evolve toge
