Vakka-Suomen Puhelin

What Vakka-Suomen Puhelin does

Vakka-Suomen Puhelin Oy (VSP) is a Finnish regional telecommunications, IT, and outsourced customer service company headquartered in Uusikaupunki and operating from eight offices across Finland. Founded in 1886, it owns and operates a fiber optic network in Southwest Finland and Satakunta and is a member of the Finnet-liitto federation of local Finnish operators.

The business operates three core revenue streams: (1) Outsourced Customer Service — multichannel BPO across voice, email, chat, back-office, switchboard, and appointment booking; this line was structurally lifted in June 2025 by the acquisition of Call Waves Solutions Finland Oy, positioning VSP among the three largest domestic BPO providers and adding clients such as Kotipizza Group (200+ restaurants), Agria Eläinvakuutus, and MEKO Finland. (2) IT Services for businesses — including 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring via the in-house VSP Valvon CSOC, Microsoft 365 implementation and management, Datto-powered cloud backup, firewalled LAN and data center capacity, the VSP Helahoito device-as-a-service bundle (from EUR 65/month), workstation care, lifecycle management, AI/Copilot onboarding, and Finnish-language IT user support. (3) Telecommunications — dedicated business fiber along the Turku–Helsinki–Tampere–Pori corridor, wholesale operator services including DWDM capacity and approximately 40 mobile-mast sites, and consumer fiber (VSP Valokuitu, four speed tiers from EUR 19.90/month), cable/IPTV, F-Secure Total security resale, and the digital VSP Taloyhtiönäyttö staircase display.

Revenue is primarily recurring: subscription pricing on consumer fiber (EUR 19.90–€39.90/month), housing-company displays (from EUR 79/month per screen), Helahoito bundles (from EUR 65/month), and F-Secure Total packages (EUR 4.96–€14.07/month); enterprise contracts are quote-based monthly or multi-year managed services. Distribution combines an enterprise field-sales team, an inside-sales desk, the Telmarin Oy retail reseller in Uusikaupunki, and the MinunVSP self-serve consumer portal. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified, GDPR-compliant, and operates with an 83.5% equity ratio (parent FY2025); parent revenue was just over EUR 20 million with approximately EUR 2.6 million of EBITDA, while consolidated pro forma group revenue including Call Waves reached approximately EUR 30 million with ~550 employees across eight locations.

Direct peers

• Lounea: Lounea (formerly Lounais-Suomen Puhelin) is a Finnish regional fiber and IT services operator and a Finnet-liitto member. It is highly comparable to VSP in business model — regional fiber footprint, B2B IT services, and consumer connectivity — and competes in overlapping Southwest Finland geographies.
• MPY Telecom (Mikkelin Puhelinyhtiö): MPY Telecom is a Finnish regional telecom operator and Finnet-liitto member offering fiber, IT, and ICT services to consumers and businesses in Eastern Finland. It mirrors VSP's structure of regional fiber plus B2B IT services, and is one of the closest size and model comparables.
• Päijät-Hämeen Puhelin (PHP): PHP is a Finnet-liitto member telecom providing fiber, IT, and telecom services in the Päijät-Häme region. It is a direct structural peer to VSP — regional Finnish cooperative-style operator with consumer fiber and B2B services — and competes for the same type of SME and mid-market customers.
• Kymen Viestintä: Kymen Viestintä is a Finnet-liitto member telecom providing fiber, IT, and connectivity services in the Kymenlaakso region. It is a direct structural peer to VSP — regional Finnish telco with consumer fiber and B2B IT services — competing for the same Finnet-style customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Elisa Oyj: Elisa is Finland's largest national telecom operator, providing mobile, fiber, IT, and enterprise services. It overlaps with VSP in consumer fiber, B2B connectivity, and IT services, and is also a technology partner to VSP (joint AI customer service webinar). Elisa is a broad incumbent rather than a head-to-head niche competitor.
• Telia Finland: Telia Finland is a national telecom operator (following the DNA acquisition) offering mobile, broadband, and enterprise ICT. It competes with VSP in consumer fiber and enterprise connectivity across Finland, and represents the broader incumbent competitive set VSP faces in its home regions.
• Teleperformance Finland: Teleperformance is one of the world's largest BPO/customer service operators with a significant Finnish presence. It competes with VSP/Call Waves in outsourced multilingual customer service for large Finnish and Nordic brands, but operates at vastly greater scale and global scope.
• Concentrix: Concentrix (now including Webhelp) is a global customer experience and BPO major with Finnish operations. It competes with VSP/Call Waves for enterprise outsourced customer service contracts in Finland and the Nordics, especially in insurance, retail, and telecom verticals.

Others

• Cinia: Cinia is a Finnish state-owned network and connectivity operator providing fiber backbone, data center, and cybersecurity services. It is comparable to VSP in the wholesale operator and network services space, and overlaps in serving telecom operators and large enterprises along the Turku–Helsinki–Tampere corridor.
• Gofore: Gofore is a Finnish digital transformation and IT services company listed on the Helsinki stock exchange. It is comparable to VSP's IT services business (consulting, cloud, managed services) for enterprise and public sector customers, although it is software-and-consulting-led rather than connectivity-led.
