Mergers and acquisitions

Caverion has a strong track record in mergers and acquisitions including a lot of valuable competence in integrating companies. In mergers and acquisitions we are looking for a good strategic fit to our existing operations in terms of geographical coverage, business portfolio and customer sectors.

In each merger and acquisition Caverion follows the same criteria; mergers and acquisitions have to be a good strategic fit for Caverion with complementary skills and resources, and a matching business culture. In addition, value creation potential, profitability turn-around potential and strong local market position are key criteria for Caverion.

The fragmented markets continue to offer plenty of opportunities for acquisitions. Caverion’s strategic objective is to grow also through acquisitions.
