What Verston does
Verston is Estonia's largest infrastructure construction and maintenance company, founded in 2010 by Veiko Veskimäe and Erkko Saluste and headquartered in Tallinn. The company operates across six integrated service lines: infrastructure construction (road building, excavation, surfaces), engineering construction (bridges, viaducts, retaining walls, pile work), year-round maintenance across approximately 8,220 km of Estonian state roads (44% of the national network) under five-year Transpordiamet contracts, quarrying and material supply from 30+ sites, road surface treatment, and operated-equipment rental. Customers are primarily Estonian and Baltic government agencies (Transpordiamet, Rail Baltic Estonia, municipalities, Riigi Kinnisvara, Tallinn Airport) procuring through public tender, with a growing private-sector line serving renewable energy developers such as Enefit Green and Utilitas on wind and solar park civil infrastructure. The technology stack centers on BIM-based project management and the Infrakit cloud platform, which integrates excavators and bulldozers for 3D model delivery, remote telemetry, and productivity measurement; proprietary engineering techniques include vertical drainage membranes and geosynthetic reinforcement for peat-bog terrain that avoided 550,000 m³ of excavation at the Sopi-Tootsi wind farm.
Verston generates revenue primarily through project-based construction contracts (one-time, multi-year, tens to hundreds of millions of euros per project) complemented by recurring multi-year maintenance services and transactional material sales from its quarry network. Pricing in the B2G channel is set through competitive public procurement with scope-and-quality-based evaluation, while private-sector projects are quoted on specifications. The company employs 330 people (end-2025), operates seven regional centers plus a Tallinn headquarters, and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. Verston Eesti OÜ reported 2025 revenue of 115.2 million EUR (53% YoY growth) and net profit of 3.45 million EUR against 75 million EUR revenue and 1.6 million EUR profit in 2024. The group operates through parent Verston Group OÜ and in May 2026 acquired energy-infrastructure specialist Smartecon OÜ (approximately 35 million EUR revenue), with active Latvian wind-park projects demonstrating early cross-border capability and a stated intent to expand into other European markets.
