Scandinavia’s premier multitechnical service provider, the Swedish
Bravida
Group, acquires Peko Group and expands its operations to Finland. Peko
Group has
320 employees and it had a turnover of Euro 67 Million in 2014. Peko
Group holds
a strong market position in Southern and central Finland.
With the
acquisition, Bravida meets its strategic plan to establish operations
in all
Nordic countries.
– To expand in Finland is a central part of our strategic
plan for growth. Peko
Group is a strong and well-managed company active in all
our fields of
technology. With the acquisition of Peko Group, we have reached
an important
milestone to establish local operations in the market. Our
long-term ambition is
to achieve further growth in Finland, says Mattias
Johansson, CEO Bravida.
Peko Group’s offer includes installation and service
solutions within the
electrical, heating and plumbing, as well as the HVAC
field. With head quarters
in Tampere, the company holds a strong position in
southern and central Finland.
The company is established in the Helsinki region
as well.
Peko Group’s operational business will become the new Bravida division
in
Finland. Marcus Karsten has been appointed CEO of Bravida Finland as well as
new
Division Manager. Previously, Karsten was the president of the
technical
building services division of Lemminkäinen Talotekniikka Oy. His team
is now
developing the new division in Finland, using Peko Group as a
foundation.
– Bravida is a quality brand and a successful multitechnical
service provider to
the Scandinavian market. The Company wants to be an
influential player in the on
-going consolidation of the Finnish market. We
offer a strong new option for
technical building services and maintenance, says
Marcus Karsten, head of

The acquisition will require
regulatory approvals from the Finnish competition
authority.
