Reliability is not a feature – it is the starting point

In defence, solutions are measured by one standard: do they perform when they must?

TT Gaskets is systematically strengthening its position as a trusted partner in critical applications, both in Finland and internationally.

As part of this development, we are pleased to announce that Major General (Eng.) Kari Renko has joined TT Gaskets as our Defence Industry Advisor.

Kari brings exceptional hands-on experience from the defence sector. He has previously served as Chief of the Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command, where he was responsible for the performance of critical systems, materials and supply chains under all conditions. In his current role as Executive Vice President, Strategic Programs at Patria, he works at the core of the defence industry, leading and developing demanding system-level capabilities in an international environment.

This background provides TT Gaskets with deeper insight into what is required when security of supply is part of national security, material performance defines system reliability, and partners must be able to perform also in exceptional conditions.

For us, this means the ability to operate in environments where failure is not an option.

TT Gaskets builds on deep material expertise and the ability to develop sealing solutions for the most demanding applications — applications where performance, safety and long-term reliability must all be uncompromising.

With Kari’s insight, we further strengthen our ability to understand not only individual components, but complete systems where every detail matters.

At the same time, defence does not evolve in isolation. Energy transition, hydrogen and new technologies are increasingly intertwined with security, resilience and security of supply. Our broader expertise in new energy complements this development.

Our course towards 2030 positions TT Gaskets as a trusted partner in critical applications — where requirements are at their highest.
