Teija worked at Murata Finland for 26 years, and now it’s time to spread her wings on the other side of the world. What has her journey at Murata been like?

“I started here at the inertial MEMS sensor production facility as a production worker during Midsummer week in 1999. The job interview was exciting when I learned more about the unique high-tech products designed and manufactured here,” Teija recalls.

She began with visual inspection of electronic components and later became a robot machine operator. “At some point, I wanted to leave shift work, so I applied for a day job as a material coordinator. It was a great time – the work was versatile and physical. Due to organizational changes, I eventually moved to the purchasing department as a buyer, and I’ve really enjoyed this role,” she says.

Teija’s production experience has been a huge advantage in purchasing. “As a buyer, I took responsibility for the materials I had handled as a material coordinator in production – and over the years, my responsibilities have expanded. The work has been very interesting and varied, with plenty of challenges. Purchasing is responsible for keeping the production wheels turning by ensuring there’s enough material, on time, to meet production needs,” Teija explains.

“It’s been wonderful to be part of this company’s growth story. And the best part has been my own team: we’ve bonded well and support each other when needed.”

We’ve been lucky to work with Teija! Thank you, Teija, and all the best on your new adventures in Canada! 🍁💼
