EMC Talotekniikka acquires building automation systems and solutions supplier Arealtec Oy

01.12.2011

EMC Talotekniikka Oy is increasing and reinforcing its expertise in energy efficiency technologies for buildings by acquiring Arealtec Oy. The automation and system technology expertise of Arealtec will provide effective support in meeting the growing requirement of buildings and customers to operate these systems and manage them according to need.
 
Arealtec Oy was established in 1994. The company has a permanent staff of 41 employees and operates on two sites in Vantaa and Hyvinkää. Its projected turnover for 2011 is EUR 5.6 million.

Arealtec Oy will continue operating as an independent enterprise under Managing Director Kari Kumpulainen, a founder-proprietor of the company. The other previous owners, Vesa Kallinen, Jarkko Turunen, Jari Husu, Timo Jääskeläinen and Timo Ruoho, and the rest of the company’s staff will continue working for the company as before.

Between them Kumpulainen and Deputy Managing Director Kallinen have more than 50 years of experience working with various systems and products in the building automation business.

Kari Kumpulainen believes that EMC Talotekniikka Oy will provide new and stimulating business opportunities for Arealtec Oy to respond to the growing need of building owners to implement challenging comprehensive energy management and conservation projects:

“Now we are getting expertise for these projects, especially for technical solutions and pricing in other fields of building technology. We shall continue to assist our current customers with the same reliable quality and service-mindedness as we have always done.”

Vesa Kallinen says that collaboration with EMC Talotekniikka will provide fresh challenges for Arealtec Oy and for its capable and motivated staff.

“Once this collaboration gets going, there will be scope for growth in other branches of building technology that can benefit from the automation that is the core competence of Arealtec Oy. And naturally the benefit will be mutual.”

EMC Talotekniikka Oy Managing Director Kimmo Liukkonen feels that this is a vital business acquisition, because the importance of automation for controlling, monitoring and using buildings is growing all the time due to stricter energy requirements.

“This deal brings more expertise into our group, enabling us to provide our customers with an even greater range of technical and financial know-how.”

Liukkonen also stresses the importance of Arealtec Oy expertise in a wide variety of automation system brands, and in energy efficiency and LEED reporting.

EMC Talotekniikka group becomes supplier of turnkey and life cycle projects

10.10.2011

EMC Talotekniikka group will be restructured at the end of 2011 by merging three subsidiaries: EMC LVI-Urakointi Oy, EMC Service Oy and City Sähkö Oy into their current holding company EMC Sähköurakointi Oy. The name of the company will then become EMC Talotekniikka Suomi Oy. This measure will jointly incorporate the group’s Building Services Engineering and Technical Services divisions into a single company.

“The restructuring will help us to meet the needs of our customers more effectively, enabling them to buy turnkey building technology projects from a single operator incorporating pipework, ventilation, electrical installations and other specialised technologies. The group is also preparing to deliver life cycle projects, whereby the supplier assumes responsibility for servicing and maintaining a site for an agreed period,” explains Kimmo Liukkonen, Managing Director of EMC Talotekniikka Oy.

The merger will not affect other companies in the group. Operating relations between EMC Talotekniikka Oy, EMC Emator Oy, Silotek Oy and TalPro Oy will continue as before, and partners need take no further measures at this stage.

The EMC Building Services Engineering division is a dependable and responsible partner for improving energy consumption management in buildings or otherwise building or upgrading the quality and efficiency of a business environment. EMC also provides turnkey building technology, heating and plumbing, air conditioning, pipework and electrical projects, security and telecommunications systems, and technical renovation and remodelling of commercial and office premises and industrial properties – all to the highest standards of quality and cost-effectiveness.

Positive progress for EMC Talotekniikka

05.09.2011
The objective of making EMC Talotekniikka’s operations business-centred as of the beginning of this year was to achieve growth of around 10–20 per cent per year for each of the four business units. It seems that the change of direction was justified, as the order portfolio of each business area has already clearly increased from 2010 levels.

From January to June 2011, EMC Talotekniikka’s net sales amounted to EUR 30 million and the company posted a profit. Net sales for the whole of 2010 amounted to EUR 50 million.


“The net sales objectives for all the business units will be achieved in 2011, and as a whole, the growth objectives will be clearly exceeded. Furthermore, the orders in the current order portfolio will provide a good starting point for further increasing net sales in 2012,” says EMC Talotekniikka’s Managing Director, Kimmo Liukkonen.

EMC Talotekniikka believes that the number of investments in energy-efficiency and apartment pipework renovation projects will continue to increase despite the current uncertainty. It is possible to serve both building services engineering customers and partners more effectively and more rapidly when they are considered as parts of a whole.

“The demand for building services engineering will probably remain high, since building services are the single most important issue influencing the management of energy consumption in properties. With a share of 40%, property remains the largest consumer of energy, ahead of traffic and industry. The sector currently experiencing the fastest technological development is construction,” explains Liukkonen.

Order portfolio by business area

The order portfolio grew even more than expected during the first six months of the year: in August 2011, the order portfolio totalled EUR 40 million. In comparison, the order portfolio in December 2010 was only EUR 17 million.

“We believe that the turn for the better will last, even though there has been an increase in uncertainty lately,” says Liukkonen.

The following extensive building services engineering (HVAC and electricity) projects implemented in line with the strategy have had the most impact (more than EUR 13 million in total) on the positive development of the order portfolio:
- Sola Business Park, Espoo
- Mikkelä facilities for green area maintenance, Espoo
- Quartetto Business Park, Helsinki Metropolitan Area
- Machinery room renovations at the Forum shopping centre, Helsinki
- K-supermarket, Hennala, Lahti

The company landed more than EUR 6 million’s worth of pipework renovation projects. The most significant were located in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, along with the EMC Emator customer-centred turnkey project in Jyväskylä.

Special projects totalling more than EUR 6 million were landed, the largest of which include:
- Electrification of Torkkelimäki civil shelter, City of Helsinki 
- HVAC project at Tapiola parking facility, City of Espoo
- Electrification of Kalevan kirjapaino printing house, Oulu
- Several major industrial electrification projects in northern Finland

 

Service business based on service agreements and long-term customer relationships is proceeding as planned, and there has been major growth, particularly due to acquisitions in the Häme Proper region and the Helsinki Metropolitan Area as well as organic growth.

EMC Emator comes top in pipework renovation survey

30.03.2011

According to a recent pipework renovation survey performed by the Finnish Real Estate Management Federation, EMC Emator Oy is clearly the best Finnish pipework renovation company. EMC Emator received the best overall grade in the survey and was also the best company in three of the four areas surveyed. EMC Emator’s poorest result in the survey was a narrow second place.

The best grades and the greatest margin when compared to the competitors were achieved by EMC Emator in its adherence to agreed schedules. On a scale of one to five, the company received a grade of 3.96, while the second-best company received a grade of 3.67 and the third-best only 3.07.

Furthermore, EMC Emator also reached grades close to four in service quality, forecasting final costs and technical quality of products.

30 years – and always on time

EMC Emator has been performing pipework renovation projects for almost thirty years. During this time, the company has completed more than a hundred major projects, in which the number of renovated apartments varied from a couple to several hundred. In these projects, EMC Emator has performed top-class renovations on schedule in thousands of homes.

"Naturally, we are very pleased with the results of the pipework renovation survey. In our renovation method, we focus on speed and customer satisfaction. We have been renovating pipework for almost thirty years, and all of our sites have been finished on schedule. It’s great that it was exactly these important issues that were given the best grades in the survey," says Juha Silovaara, division manager of EMC Emator.

According to Silovaara, EMC Emator’s excellent grades in the survey reflect reality rather than unfounded reputation.

"The survey revealed that our company is not very well known across Finland, and we have never been very keen on advertising. This means that the people who were able to judge how we had done must have had actual experience of our projects."

382 real-estate managers responded to the Finnish Real Estate Management Foundation’s pipework renovation survey at the end of 2010 and the start of 2011. A total of fourteen companies were assessed in the survey.

01.12.2010

Räisänen has extensive experience and expertise in building engineering contracting. His previous positions include regional manager at Lemminkäinen Talotekniikka Oy and its predecessors, such as Tekmanni Oy.

Räisänen has held several executive positions, and he has extensive experience and expertise in building engineering and electrical installations. He has also held several positions of trust in the sector.

EMC Group becomes EMC Talotekniikka

27.10.2010

Established in 2007 to provide and develop core building engineering services, EMC Group Oy is changing its name to EMC Talotekniikka, "EMC Building Services Engineering". The business of its twelve subsidiaries will become operation-driven and be divided into four business areas. The change in operational approach will take effect at the beginning of 2011.

The new company name corresponds better to our business operations. "The former name, EMC Group, told outsiders nothing about our line of business. As the name indicates, EMC Talotekniikka's operations will centre around building systems and services," explains EMC Talotekniikka Managing Director Kimmo Liukkonen.

EMC Talotekniikka's expertise is divided into four business units: Building Services Engineering, Pipework Renovation, Technical Services, and Products and Prefabricated Modules. The Group's turnover is divided among the different business units in such a way that Building Services Engineering accounts for approximately 35 million euros, Pipework Renovation 18, Technical Services 10 and Products and Prefabricated Modules 1 million. Operations of the former subsidiaries will continue as before and there will not be changes to customer contracts.

Aiming for 10–20 percent annual growth

"Our goal is to grow each business unit by about 10–20 percent a year. We are also currently negotiating about new business acquisitions," Liukkonen says.

There is great demand for building technology services at the moment. Building services engineering plays the most important role in controlling properties' energy consumption. With their 40 percent share, real estate properties are the largest consumer of energy, ahead of business and industry. At this time technology is developing fastest in the construction area.

"We believe that as a single united whole we will be able to serve our customers and partners even better and more efficiently than before. In 2009 already, EMC Group grew into one of Finland's four largest companies specialized in building services engineering," Liukkonen states.

Comprehensive building services engineering solutions for real estate and industrial sites


In addition to their own areas of specialization, EMC Talotekniikka companies provide comprehensive engineering solutions for both new construction and reconstruction. Properties include residential, apartment, commercial and industrial properties.

"The portion of our turnover from industrial properties has grown steadily. At this moment, for instance, we have large industrial and mining sites in northern Finland, a number of residential and real estate companies' plumbing and renovation sites, and properties requiring specialized engineering solutions, as well as renovation projects at the Kluuvi Shopping Centre and some public administration properties," enumerates Liukkonen.

"Our biggest sites this year have been some large hospitals in southern and northern Finland and the heating, plumbing and air conditioning (HPAC) for Tapiola's new headquarters.

Pipe system renovation is among the most challenging and time-consuming reconstruction undertakings for building companies. EMC Talotekniikka renovates in ways that improve energy efficiency and residents' comfort. Specially customized Silotek® building technology elements are combined in accordance with each customer's HPAC and electrical system design. This makes pipework renovation faster and more efficient.

In the future we can all be reached at a common telephone number, tel. +358 20 198 4640.
