Ermail Oy – more than 30 years of experience in surface treatment

Ermail Oy is a leading surface treatment company established in Eurajoki in 1989. Today, the company operates in several locations across Finland. The company mainly provides solutions for the shipbuilding industry and its operations are therefore largely focused on the Rauma, Turku, Teijo and Olkiluoto shipyards.
