DC Works

What DC Works does

DC Works is a Finland-based private limited company (DC Works Finland Oy) founded in 2014 by Marko Husu and Vesa Kolu, specializing in electrical, automation, and instrumentation (SIA) installation services for hyperscale data centers and process industry facilities. The company delivers certified design, installation, and maintenance services spanning electrical systems up to 20 kV medium voltage (under S1 license), automation and instrumentation (BMS/EPMS), telecommunications and fiber networks (Corning NPI certified with 25-year warranty capability), and ATEX-compliant explosive atmosphere work (SFS-EN IEC 60079). Operations are conducted from offices in Kotka and Tampere (Finland), Groningen (Netherlands), and Tierp (Sweden), with active project reach across at least six European countries.

The business operates as a project-based professional services firm, generating revenue through fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts secured via direct enterprise relationships and competitive tendering. The customer base is concentrated in two verticals: data center / mission-critical (Hetzner, RoviSys BT, Bitwise Oy) and Nordic process industry (Neste Oyj, Borealis Polymers, Metsä Fibre, Valmet, Solenis, AGA, Lahti Energia, Fintoil). Notable project scale includes 80,000 installation hours on the Fintoil bio-refinery and peak deployment of 55 workers at the Metsä Fibre Kemi bioproduct mill. The company has grown from 20+ employees in its founding year to over 70 professionals by 2025, remained founder-owned, formalized governance with independent board members in 2021, and quadrupled its Project Manager team in 2025 in preparation for the predicted 2026-2030 European data center buildout cycle.
