Kalmar Oyj, a global powerhouse in heavy material handling equipment and services, has chosen Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a preeminent force in global IT services and consulting, as its strategic technology partner. Together, they will orchestrate a comprehensive transformation of Kalmar’s IT service architecture.
At the heart of this partnership lies a bold ambition: to architect a modern, AI-powered digital core that fundamentally reimagines operational excellence. TCS will unify Kalmar’s fragmented IT ecosystem into a seamlessly integrated delivery model.
Through advanced AI capabilities that enhance human-machine collaboration, TCS will help cultivate a workforce empowered by technology rather than constrained by it. This commitment to continuous innovation positions Kalmar not simply as a responsive organization, but as a perpetually adaptive enterprise—one built to thrive amid constant change.
Tero Lehtonen, CIO, Kalmar said, “Our decision to partner with TCS is built on the confidence gained from a successful history of collaboration. We are convinced by the ability of TCS in establishing a modern, agile, and AI-first IT foundation for Kalmar. Our collaboration is among the key enablers to achieving our strategic goals.”
Subhadipta Samantray, Country Head, TCS Finland said, “Kalmar’s decision to partner with TCS as its strategic IT services provider is a strong endorsement of our ability to support global organizations through comprehensive, post-separation transitions and build the digital foundations of their future. With our deep contextual knowledge, strong local presence, delivery expertise along with global AI-leadership, we look forward to supporting Kalmar with enhanced operations, and continuous digital innovation for the years ahead.”
