Norelco ensures data center functionality
As digitalization accelerates, the role of data centers in society's critical infrastructure is growing rapidly. Cloud services, AI, IoT and e-commerce require huge amounts of data – and data in turn requires uninterrupted, secure and flexible power distribution. Power distribution solutions are no longer just a technical detail, but the basis for business continuity and competitiveness.
"When you choose Norelco, you are not only investing in equipment, but also investing in peace of mind that lasts throughout the entire life cycle of the equipment," says Ari Hämäläinen, CEO of Norelco, about his company's products and services.
A power outage in a data center can cause significant financial losses, undermine customer trust and even lead to violations of legal requirements. Therefore, power distribution must be primarily reliable so that operations are not interrupted unexpectedly. It must also be safe to protect both equipment and people.
In addition, power distribution must be flexible to adapt to the growing and changing needs of data centers. Finally, it must be sustainable to support environmental goals and reduce the life cycle costs of the entire system.
Okken – the new standard for power distribution in data centers
The Okken switchboard, manufactured by Norelco in Savonlinna, is designed specifically for the demanding needs of critical infrastructure and data centers. Built from Finnish materials, these units are supplied not only in Finland but also across the Nordics and Europe. Okken is a fully type-tested low-voltage switchgear (IEC 61439-1/2) that offers top-class safety, flexibility, and durability. Norelco is a licensed manufacturer of Schneider Electric’s Okken and Okken Lean switchboard.
The advantages of Okken include arc fault tested 100kA / 0.5s maximum personnel safety, short-circuit withstand 100kA, 1s (I dyn 220kA) – handles the toughest electrical loads, innovative frame and busbar system (Okken Lean) – up to 30% lower CO₂ emissions and heat losses, compact, flexible design – space-efficient installation and versatile connection- predictive condition monitoring for proactive maintenance and minimised downtime.
"Above all, it is domestic manufacturing, which means short supply chains, fast maintenance and functional spare parts service," Hämäläinen describes.
Norelco offers complete solutions that support business
"When operational reliability, safety and responsibility are the cornerstones of your business, Norelco offers solutions that support them at every level," Hämäläinen says.
In addition to Okken, Norelco manufactures low-voltage switchboards, medium-voltage switchgear and E-House solutions for data centers and also offers on-site installation and commissioning services for products.
”Our strengths include project management, reliable delivery times, and flexible cooperation. Our dependable maintenance service maximises the availability of your facilities. All products are designed and manufactured in Finland, ensuring high quality, delivery reliability, and rapid service. Factory acceptance tests can also be carried out at our facility”, says Hämäläinen.

Norelco electrifies Rovaniemi district heating network - new prospects for the Finnish energy market11.10.2025 13:09:03 EEST | Tiedote
New prospects for the Finnish energy market were opened in Rovaniemi when Neve's new electric boiler plant at the Suosiola power plant went into full operation after test runs in April. Namely, with the help of the July heat and cheap electricity, the Rovaniemi district heating network was heated entirely with electricity for three weeks in a row. This significantly reduced the use of solid fuel, as up to 200 fewer fuel trucks than usual passed through the power plant yard and no steam rose from the plant's chimney.
Norelco sähköisti Rovaniemen kaukolämpöverkkoa - uusia näkymiä Suomen energiamarkkinoille8.10.2025 16:41:13 EEST | Tiedote
Rovaniemellä avattiin uusia näkymiä Suomen energiamarkkinoille, kun Neven uusi sähkökattilalaitos Suosiolan voimalaitoksella siirtyi täyteen toimintaan huhtikuun koeajojen jälkeen. Nimittäin heinäkuun helteiden ja edullisen sähkön avustuksella Rovaniemen kaukolämpöverkko lämpeni peräti kolme viikkoa peräkkäin täysin sähköllä. Se vähensi huomattavasti kiinteän polttoaineen käyttöä, sillä voimalaitoksen pihalla kulki jopa 200 polttoainerekkaa vähemmän kuin normaalisti eikä laitoksen piipusta noussut höyryä.
Norelco takaa datakeskusten toimivuuden3.10.2025 14:21:36 EEST | Tiedote
Digitalisaation kiihtyessä datakeskusten rooli yhteiskunnan kriittisessä infrastruktuurissa kasvaa vauhdilla. Pilvipalvelut, tekoäly, IoT ja verkkokauppa vaativat valtavia määriä dataa – ja data puolestaan vaatii keskeytymätöntä, turvallista ja joustavaa sähkönjakelua. Sähkönjakeluratkaisut eivät ole enää pelkkä tekninen yksityiskohta, vaan liiketoiminnan jatkuvuuden ja kilpailukyvyn perusta.
