"The demands on the built environment are increasing, and the importance of advisory services for the life cycle of buildings is growing at an accelerating pace. The Kiwa building services business to be acquired supports Caverion's sustainable growth strategy and will expand our managed services offering for our customers nationwide. I am looking forward to warmly welcoming the new Caverion employees to our team," says Ville Tamminen, Head of Finland and Baltics division at Caverion.
