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.
