(REJL B)
Rejlers subsidiary Rejlers Oy in Finland has acquired a majority of shares (app. 55%) of Lausamo Oy with an option to acquire remaining 45 percent in the second quarter 2011.
Lausamo Oy, founded in 1984, provides services for building and property customers in the area of electrical, automation and telecommunication engineering. Lausamo is located in Vantaa and has excellent reputation and market positions in the Helsinki area and also in other parts of Finland.
