Kaptas as an employer
Kaptas is a workplace where the work is highly varied. Our employees can participate in exciting and challenging automation projects, solving our clients’ unique problems while utilizing the latest technologies in the field, such as robotics, machine vision, simulation, and AI.
Through problem-solving, we can influence how efficiently industries like pharmaceuticals can manufacture their products, or how cutting-edge companies in various sectors can produce, package, and inspect their goods.
Our work has a societal impact, ensuring the safety of medications and food products for consumers and promoting sustainable manufacturing practices.
Continuous learning and international opportunities
Working with us requires an interest in problem-solving and a desire to develop one’s expertise. The automation industry is constantly evolving, and we strive to be among the first to adopt the latest innovations.
We encourage our staff to engage in continuous learning. Several Kaptas employees are currently pursuing further studies alongside their work, at universities or universities of applied sciences. Scientific research is also conducted within the company, particularly in fields such as AI applications.
There are also opportunities to participate in international projects and travel worldwide. Even if you don’t travel, you’ll work on exciting projects with major global companies.
A continuously developing work community
Kaptas aims to be a fair and respected employer, listening to employees’ suggestions for improvement and continuously enhancing operations.
Our employee surveys show that Kaptas is a good place to work, with motivated people who enjoy what they do.
While our work can be hectic, and we face stress at times, we solve problems together, and no one is left behind.
We support employees’ well-being with flexible working arrangements, enabling them to balance personal matters, studies, and family life with work. We also offer the possibility of remote work when project situations allow.
We regularly gather feedback from our staff through the Addtech Group’s employee survey.

We value employees from diverse backgrounds
Kaptas follows the personnel policies and goals set by the Addtech Group. One of the group’s key objectives is to increase opportunities for women in technology. The aim is to have at least 40% women in leadership positions in the future.
Currently, there are only a few women working at Kaptas, but we are eager to welcome more women to this exciting industry!
We welcome people from all cultural backgrounds. There are no strict Finnish language requirements, and a good command of English is sufficient for expert roles.
