Employer description:

Outokumpu's history is as long as that of stainless steel, and we still operate on locations that were instrumental in inventing it. Since our founding days in 1910s, Outokumpu has been considered the number one expert in minerals. Whenever a mineral ore was found in Finland, Outokumpu was asked to investigate if it would be viable for production. If there was no established method of producing it, we developed one. This expertise is still in the core of our business. Today, we are the global leader in stainless steel.
