What Vesivek does

Vesivek is a Finnish building envelope and moisture-management contractor founded in 1981 and headquartered in Pirkkala, Finland. The company delivers a turnkey range of services spanning roof renovation, rainwater/gutter systems, foundation drainage, and roof safety products (ladders, snow guards, roof bridges, fall protection, emergency exits). It serves two principal markets — individual homeowners through direct-to-consumer channels and a B2B segment comprising property managers, housing cooperatives, building companies, metalworkers, and hardware wholesalers — with pricing typically running 80–140 EUR/m² for roof renovations and a starting price of 9,900 EUR per project. Customer-facing channels include a self-service online price calculator (Vesivek Oma Valinta), regional sales offices, and a financing partnership with OP Financial Group.

The operating model combines own manufacturing with own installation: metal roof profiles are produced at a Pirkkala plant, while rainwater systems, roof safety products, and drainage components are manufactured at an Orimattila facility. Vesivek deploys its own trained installation crews (no subcontractors), supported by crane-assisted, full-scaffolding safety standards on every project. Product line breadth includes the Luja-Lauri fossil-free steel roof, an EI60 fire-rated balcony drainage system (VTT-C-10518-13), and a model-protected RPC roof drain (Nro:12867). The company holds ISO 9001 (first in its industry, 2016) and ISO 14001 (2025) certifications, Avainlippu, RALA, and Luotettava kumppani credentials.

Commercially, Vesivek reaches customers through 14 local offices across Finland and 3 offices in Sweden (Uppsala, Bålsta, Flen) under Vesivek Sverige Ab, plus B2B distribution to hardware stores and wholesalers. The group reports approximately 500 employees in Finland and 90 in Sweden, a 97% customer recommendation rate, a 99.23% warehouse delivery reliability, and an accident frequency rate of 33 (vs. the construction industry average of ~53). Vesivek operates under HLRE Holding Oyj, which has issued bonds and initiated a written procedure to amend bond terms in February 2026, indicating group-level capital structure activity.
