Prior to that, he worked as a blacksmith in Hakala's workshop in Nakkila's Hormisto. The name of the company owned by Arvi Kivioja, initially together with her sister's husband, was Nakkila's New Workshop and Bicycle Repair Shop at the time, which was a good description of the early days. Already in the early 1950s, the development led to the expansion of operations into industrial maintenance and investment projects, as well as the construction of property heating systems. After Arvi acquired the name of the entire company, the word Uusi was left out and later the word Pyöräkorjaamo. The name and corporate form of Nakkilan Paja, which included a wide range of expanding activities, changed to Nakkilan Konepaja Oy in the 1970s. During the 1970s, operations also expanded strongly to steel construction, which, according to the company, led to strong exports to the East. The trade in the Soviet Union was significant for the company throughout the 1980s. Present day During the 1990s, the company's existing main businesses, the custom machine shop (Nakkila Works Oy) and the bioboiler plant business (Nakkila Boilers Oy), were strongly developed. The actual steel construction was left out at the beginning of the new millennium. The company has changed its operations over the decades. Today, the company operates as an internationally respected and strong player in its own business areas. The company is still a family business owned by the descendants of its founder. The first generational change took place in 1985, when the current CEO Raimo Kivioja took over the company's operations. The third generation joined the company's operations in the 21st century. The third generational change took a big step at the beginning of 2016, when Raimo Kivioja, who had been the company's CEO for more than 30 years, left the position of CEO to Jussi Kivioja, who represents the third generation. Raimo Kivioja will continue with the company as Chairman of the Board.
