Auroora Yhtiöt acquires Suomen Vuokrakontti Oy, Finland’s leading supplier of modified container solutions

Auroora Yhtiöt Oyj (“Auroora”) has acquired the entire share capital of Suomen Vuokrakontti Oy (“SVK”). Suomen Vuokrakontti specializes in container solutions tailored for demanding purposes. The acquisition strengthens Auroora’s Industrial Products and Services segment.

Suomen Vuokrakontti Oy was founded in 1982 and its headquarter is in Rajamäki. The company’s offering covers container solutions from simple single-unit storage containers to complex multi-unit systems. SVK offers solutions for storage, cold storage, modular facilities and the various needs of the defense forces. SVK’s strength, in addition to its wide product range, is the ability to offer customized solutions both as rental and sales options. Thanks to flexible and versatile solutions, SVK’s products are used in many different industries such as energy and waste management, telecommunications, machine and equipment rental, storage and the defense industry.

“Suomen Vuokrakontti has a long history and convincing evidence of serving a wide customer base with various modular solutions. The company is well managed and its profitability is excellent. The need for modular and movable solutions seems to be constantly growing and expanding to new industries,” says Jukka Marttila, Business Director of Auroora Yhtiöt. “I am very satisfied that SVK’s owners trusted Auroora when choosing a new owner for the company. SVK’s former main owner and long-time entrepreneur Jarmo Villman has also promised to continue on the company’s board. As SVK now has the broader shoulders of Auroora Yhtiöt behind it, I find SVK’s future prospects very interesting”, continues Jukka Marttila.

“The frankness and vision of the future of the Auroora team convinced us from the first meeting that this could be the right path for us. I strongly believe that it is good for us to be here and to develop into an even more significant player in the industry with the support of the new owner”, says SVK’s former main owner and current board member Jarmo Villman.

“It’s great to have Auroora Yhtiöt as the new owner. The acquisition significantly strengthens Suomen Vuokrakontti’s position as Finland’s leading supplier of special containers and their service solutions. As part of Auroora’s Industrial Products and Services segment we can serve our current and future customers even better and more versatile,” says SVK’s CEO Jyrki Malinen.
