Caverion grows in wind power in Finland by acquiring Huolto-Lepistö’s wind turbine maintenance services
Caverion acquires Huolto-Lepistö's wind turbine maintenance business. The acquisition will give Caverion a new base for its wind power services in Pori, close to numerous wind parks on the west coast of Finland. This will also enable Caverion to meet the growing demand for its wind power services.
Huolto-Lepistö’s wind turbine maintenance business specialises in the repair, inspection and maintenance of wind turbine service lifts and other services related to wind turbine maintenance. Four of the company's employees joined Caverion as of the beginning of February.
"We at Huolto-Lepistö have had the pleasure to follow closely the growth and development of the wind energy sector. Our wind power experts have a great opportunity to continue this journey now with Caverion. Together they will form a strong service network in wind turbine maintenance. At Huolto-Lepistö, we will continue to service and maintain lifting and sliding doors and elevators," says Janne Lepistö, CEO of Huolto-Lepistö.
"There is an increasing demand for domestic partnerships and local, flexible services in the wind energy sector. Caverion's wind power services cover the entire country and our expertise is especially strong in Oulu and Ostrobothnia region. Now we can also serve our customers from Pori, which is cost-effective and reduces environmental impacts. We warmly welcome our new experts," says Kari Koivikko, Head of District, Sustainable Energy Services, Caverion.
