M-Partners Oy Ab

What M-Partners Oy Ab does

M-Partners Oy Ab is a Finnish private limited company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Teuva, Finland, where it manufactures the Modulo family of relocatable wooden modular buildings by hand at its dry-factory facility (Horontie 238). Its core product, Modulo 3.0, is a ~126 m² wooden-module relocatable building system designed to permanent-building standards (P1 cleanliness class, M1/CE-marked materials, S2 indoor air class target, 50-year lifecycle) while remaining movable between sites; module-level remote-controlled HVAC, concealed ducting, and EPD-verified lifecycle carbon data (~12,000 kg CO₂ bound per module) are differentiating technical features. The company has executed over 900 projects since 2002 and supplies its modules to the related leasing entity KoskiRent Oyj, which rents them under the Modulo brand to Finnish municipalities, cities and wellbeing services counties — primarily for schools and daycares, but also care facilities, libraries, student housing and offices — on 5–25 year leases focused on 5-year terms at indicative pricing of ~25 €/m²/month.

Revenue model

1. Rental of relocatable modular buildings: Core recurring revenue stream: KoskiRent Oyj owns relocatable modular buildings and rents them to public-sector customers (mainly municipalities, cities and wellbeing services counties) under the Modulo brand for medium and long-term periods (5–25 years, focused on 5-year leases). The service bundles planning, manufacturing, delivery, installation, mid-lease conversions and end-of-lease relocation.
2. Project-based sales of modular buildings: In addition to rental, KoskiRent delivers certain projects on a sale basis (e.g., Valkjärven koulu in Nurmijärvi and the Savonlinna Nätkin koulu were listed as 'myynti' projects), including site works and yard construction ('pohja- ja pihatyöt'). These represent one-time/transactional revenue.
3. Site and yard works services: Additional services around the building delivery — foundation and yard works ('pohja- ja pihatyöt') — offered alongside both rentals and sales. Functions as a complementary professional-services revenue stream.
4. End-of-lease relocation and conversion services: At end of lease, KoskiRent handles dismantling, transport, refurbishment and reinstallation of the modules at the next site, often with customisation for the new user. Managed-services / lifecycle fee component attached to the rental offering.

Core offering

M-Partners Oy Ab manufactures the Modulo relocatable wooden modular building system at its dry factory in Teuva, Finland, producing large (125–126 m²) modules built to permanent-building standards with HVAC, fixed furnishings and water points pre-installed. The modules are designed for fast deployment and later relocation between customer sites, with use-case configurations targeted at schools, daycares and other public-sector premises. M-Partners operates as the manufacturing arm behind the Modulo brand, which is leased to Finnish municipalities, cities and wellbeing services counties through its related party KoskiRent Oyj.

Product overview

M-Partners Oy Ab is the manufacturer behind the Modulo product family, which it produces by hand at its Teuva factory in Finland using domestic wooden materials. M-Partners builds the core product Modulo — a relocatable modular building system combining permanent-building quality with full moveability — including its current generation, Modulo 3.0, with a large (125–126 m²) module footprint. Around this core, the offering is structured into use-case solutions: Modulo Schools (Koulut), Modulo Daycares (Päiväkodit) and Modulo Other Solutions (Muut ratkaisut) for care, library, student-housing and office uses. Cross-cutting service and feature layers include the Modulo Relocatable / Freed-Up Buildings service (Käytöstä vapautuvat kohteet) for circular-economy redeployment, a remotely managed module-level HVAC / building automation system (LVI-etähallinta), a certified indoor-air and material system (S2 / P1 / M1 / CE), and a customised Interior Design Service. The buildings are leased to public-sector customers through the related-party leasing company KoskiRent Oyj, which markets and rents the products under the Modulo brand.

Quantifiable outcome

• Rentals at ~25 €/m²/month can yield ~1,500 €/m² over a 5-year lease, vs ~3,000 €/m² for new construction — roughly 50% savings on a comparable 1,000 m² school.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Finnish construction majors (Skanska, NCC, YIT): Large Finnish and Nordic general contractors active in school and daycare construction. Adjacent rather than direct competitors today, but their potential entry into modular or relocatable formats would be a direct competitive threat to Modulo's municipal share.

Direct peers

• Adapteo: Nordic public-listed modular space provider renting relocatable buildings (schools, offices, daycare) across Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. Directly comparable in product offering, rental model and customer base, and is the most relevant benchmark for KoskiRent/Modulo's Nordic municipal-leasing thesis.
• Portakabin: UK-headquartered modular building manufacturer and rental provider with strong presence in education and healthcare. Directly comparable in modular school/daycare offering, although UK-focused rather than Finnish/Nordic.
• Kleusberg: German modular construction company with a permanent-quality modular school and office offering. Comparable in large module size, permanent-building standards, and education focus, with overlap in technology and customer use case.
• Containex: Austria-based container and modular space company (WALTER GROUP) with European rental footprint. Comparable in modular leasing model and public/commercial customer mix, with greater emphasis on container-form factor.
• Nordic Modular Group: Swedish modular building company supplying relocatable school, office and care buildings to Nordic municipalities. Comparable on product category, customer segment, and use-case mix, with a similar rental/sales hybrid model.
• Losberger De Boer: European modular space provider supplying relocatable buildings for education, events, and public sector. Comparable in modular rental model and public-sector customer base, though broader in industrial and event applications.

Broad incumbents

• Algeco: One of Europe's largest modular space and storage rental companies, with a deep public-sector and education book across multiple countries. Broader portfolio (storage containers, workforce housing) and pan-European scale, but overlaps with Modulo on education and public-sector modular leases.
• Boels Rental (Modular Space): Large European rental group offering modular space alongside tool and equipment rental. Comparable in rental-model and short-to-medium term lease use cases, though modular space is a smaller part of a much broader equipment-rental portfolio.

Regional players

• Parador (Skonto Group) / Latvian modular builders: Baltic-region modular construction players serving Nordic and Baltic public-sector tenders. Relevant as potential competitors/importers to Finland and as indicators of cross-border price competition in modular education buildings.
