What Laiho Group does

Laiho Group Oy is a Finnish electrical contracting company headquartered in Helsinki that provides electrical installation, renovation, and maintenance services for commercial, industrial, public-sector, and residential properties across Southern Finland. The company operates four integrated service lines: new construction electrical contracting (uudisrakennusten sähköurakointi), renovation and heritage-property electrical work (saneerauskohteiden sähköurakointi), maintenance and managed-service contracts (huoltopalvelut), and a consumer retail store for electrical supplies in Salo. Its technology stack centers on standard electrical contracting augmented with smart building systems, including LED lighting with smart controls and daylight harvesting, Helvar ActiveAhead self-learning wireless lighting, fire alarm and access control systems, data networks, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The company employs nearly 100 electrical professionals distributed across offices in Helsinki, Turku, and Salo, delivering projects for general contractors (NCC, Skanska, YIT), enterprise customers (Kesko, SOK, Posti, YLVA), and municipal/government clients (Varsinais-Suomen hyvinvointialue, Espoo, Naantali).

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based electrical contracting contracts with durations ranging from months to multi-year engagements, supplemented by recurring maintenance service agreements and a small consumer hardware sales channel in Salo. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public pricing tiers disclosed. Since 3 October 2022, Laiho Group has operated as part of Currentum, a Nordic building technology group of over 50 companies owned by company entrepreneurs and private equity firm Axcel, which provides capital backing, procurement scale, and cross-trade referral potential while Laiho retains operational autonomy in its Southern Finland territory.

Direct peers

• Bravida: Sweden-listed Nordic building technical services group with strong electrical installation operations in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Closely comparable service offering (electrical contracting + service/maintenance) and customer base to Laiho, with similar large-project + recurring maintenance model.
• Caverion: Finnish-headquartered building technical services provider offering electrical installation, HVAC and maintenance across commercial, industrial and public buildings in the Nordics. Direct comparable in service mix, customer segments (developers, municipalities, enterprises) and geographic footprint, though materially larger than Laiho.
• Instalco: Swedish installation services group operating across electrical, HVAC and related building technical disciplines in the Nordics. Closely comparable in business model — multi-trade installation with both project and service/maintenance revenue — though primarily active in Sweden rather than Finland.
• Assemblin: Nordic installation and building services contractor operating across electrical, heating, ventilation and plumbing, with significant Finnish presence. Comparable in delivering integrated electrical contracting for new build and renovation, serving similar enterprise, public-sector and residential customers.
• Eltel Networks: Nordic specialist in electrical and communications infrastructure, with substantial operations in power distribution and building electrical installations across Finland and Sweden. Comparable on electrical contracting core work, but with greater tilt toward utility/infrastructure projects than Laiho's commercial-build focus.

Regional players

• ARE Group: Sweden-focused electrical installation and building technical services contractor with similar scope (new build, renovation, service) and customer types to Laiho. Regional comparable — does not directly compete in Finland, but illustrates how a similarly positioned Nordic electrical contractor can scale within a single national market.
