“The acquisition strengthens Humana’s position as a leading national service provider and expert within individual and family care in Finland. Matiimi is a well-established and well-reputed service provider and we look forward to further developing operations together with management and staff”, said Rasmus Nerman, President and CEO of Humana.
“We are impressed with the work Matiimi has done over the last 16 years since the founding of the company and are convinced that Matiimi's high-quality, customer-oriented operations, and with its competent, committed staff, will become a natural and important new member of our Humana family”, said Pasi Kohtala, Managing Director of Arjessa and director of Humana’s operations in Finland.
“We are satisfied that, as a result of this arrangement, we will be able to continue the valuable work of Matiimi Oy.
