Introduction

AS Jalax was established in 1993. Initially, it was just a small metal workshop, which has evolved over the years

into one of the leading manufacturers of metal furniture and components in Estonia. At the end of 2022, AS Jalax employed 126 people.

The production unit of AS Jalax is located in Central Estonia, near Paide in Mündi village. AS Jalax is a leading subcontractor of metal components in the Nordic countries. The aim of AS Jalax is to be among those manufacturers characterized by innovation, flexibility, top-level technology. Environmentally friendly production is important for AS Jalax.

In 2022, AS Jalax continued its traditional business in the field of metal component production.

The year started very positively and optimistically, but unfortunately, the war started by Russia against Ukraine in February made both raw material and purchasing markets uncertain. The short stabilization period after the corona crisis essentially ended in February. The general uncertainty left its mark on the whole year. In the second half of the year, increased energy costs and inflation had a paralyzing effect on the entire European economy, and this was slightly reflected in our customers' orders. Fortunately, at the end of the year, both energy costs and inflation seemed to have peaked, and we dare to forecast slight growth for 2023.
