When an effective fire suppression system was needed for cruise ships and passenger vessels. A fire suppression system is a critical safety feature on ships, especially on cruise and passenger vessels. Traditional sprinkler systems used large amounts of water and were heavy, which could even affect the vessel’s stability due to their weight. Sundholm developed a system that could extinguish fires just as effectively using only one-fifth of the water. Göran Sundholm is a Finnish inventor who holds the highest number of patents in Finland as an individual — 194 in total. Inventor: Göran Sundholm • Year: 1985
In 1973, Göran Sundholm invented a unique flange connection system for piping that made welding unnecessary. This groundbreaking method addressed many industrial challenges and saw rapid adoption, particularly in Norway's offshore sector during the 1980s. Today, the innovation is used in industries all around the world. Inventor: Göran Sundholm • Year: 1973
