The acquisition of Avainahjo will strengthen the group throughout Helsinki and the surrounding area.
Prosero has completed several important acquisitions in Finland during 2021. With this latest addition, one of Helsinki’s oldest and most reputable locksmiths joins the Prosero team. Through a high level of service and many years as a provider in the region, Avainahjo has developed a well-known brand and a strong position in technical security for the housing sector. Their offer includes lock inspection and replacement, camera surveillance, door intercoms, door openers, and alarm systems in combination with service agreements and maintenance. By providing excellent service, Avainahjo has gained a stellar reputation with customers such as the public sector, city property owners, and large construction companies. In 2020, Avainahjo’s turnover reached EUR 1.9 million. During 2021 the company’s revenues have exceeded forecasted levels. Avainahjo has 13 employees working from the office and shop in Helsinki’s fishing port.
Vesa Ojala, CEO of Avainahjo OY, says: “Prosero has a fantastic team in Finland and it’s great to be part of that team. We’re growing, and we know this move will contribute to making our services even better. Our operations will continue as before, but as part of Prosero, we’ll be able to give our customers even better service and coverage.
