Founded and run by Silvan Gebhardt in Turku, with customers across Europe.
We run our own commercial network, AS41666, with servers in a third-party data centre. Our monitoring, remote access and hosted systems run on it, and we use it to build and test services such as NAT64 for IPv6-only networks before we set them up for customers.
openfactory nordic oy has been an industry partner at the international exercises Locked Shields and Crossed Swords, working on infrastructure and local model serving. Our community engagement is FreeTransit (AS41051), a non-commercial network we have operated from Finland for more than five years. Silvan speaks about routing security at events such as RIPE meetings, SwiNOG and CERT-EE.
Silvan's talks, field notes and background are on pyro.institute.
Swiss roots, Finnish quality
openfactory nordic oy is based in Turku, and the people behind it have Swiss roots. Silvan trained as an engineer in Switzerland and has lived in Finland for years. From Switzerland we bring precise work: agreed in writing, documented, and finished when we said it would be. From Finland, a calm way of dealing with problems and straight answers.
We work from Finland for customers across Europe, and travel on site when a job needs it. You can talk to us in Swiss German, German, French or English, and a little Finnish.
Industrial rollout
A new industrial site in northern Czechia was about to go into production. The network fabric was causing problems, and remote troubleshooting had stopped helping. At 21:00, Silvan decided the next useful step was to be there. By the next afternoon, after two flights and a train, he was on site with the local team, and the rollout was moving again.
Turku → Helsinki → Paris → Prague → northern Czechia

About 100 consultants were due to move into a new office on Monday, and on Friday the Wi-Fi was unstable. Vendor support focused on firewall rules. The real cause was lower down: the access point links kept dropping while negotiating 2.5 Gbit. Limiting the switch ports to 1 Gbit made the site stable.
