Finnish technical building services group Nimlas has acquired LVI Tasacon, a Mikkeli-based HVAC specialist. The ownership transfer marks a strategic expansion for Nimlas in the competitive Nordic construction sector. This deal represents the continued consolidation occurring across Finland's technical services industry.
CEO Toni Tarkainen confirmed the ownership change in a statement. He emphasized that only the ownership structure will shift while operational continuity remains guaranteed. Both Tarkainen and Production Manager Jussi Saari previously held ownership stakes in the company. Tarkainen will continue leading the firm as CEO following the acquisition.
The company maintains its headquarters in Mikkeli and employs 15 people. Founded in 2014, LVI Tasacon specializes in heating, plumbing and ventilation systems. The firm has developed particular expertise in logistics facilities, commercial properties and demanding renovation projects.
Despite its Mikkeli roots, the company's current projects concentrate in the Helsinki metropolitan area. Their portfolio includes major institutional renovations, most notably the recently completed HVAC modernization at University of Helsinki facilities. This high-profile project demonstrated their capability with complex historical buildings and advanced technical requirements.
LVI Tasacon has also developed specialized data center expertise in recent years. They completed significant data center HVAC installations in Espoo, with one major project concluding earlier this year. This expansion into technology infrastructure positions the company for future growth in Finland's expanding digital economy.
The company operates from facilities in Viinikkala, Vantaa. It reported substantial financial performance with 8.7 million euros in turnover during the most recent fiscal year.
This acquisition reflects broader trends in Nordic technical services where regional specialists increasingly join larger corporate groups. The move provides LVI Tasacon with greater resources for competing on major projects while giving Nimlas additional specialized expertise. For international readers, this demonstrates how Finland's construction sector continues evolving through strategic consolidation rather than organic growth alone.
The transaction appears straightforward without dramatic operational changes. The continuity in leadership suggests Nimlas values the existing management team and company direction. This contrasts with some acquisitions where immediate restructuring occurs. The focus seems to be on gradual integration and leveraging combined capabilities.
What does this mean for the Nordic construction landscape? Medium-sized specialists face increasing pressure to scale operations. Larger groups like Nimlas can offer competitive advantages in bidding for major contracts while maintaining specialized service quality. This pattern likely continues as infrastructure investment grows across Finland and neighboring markets.
