Lauridsen has a strong customer base, skilled co-workers and a strong offering. They also distinguish themselves through innovation, something that the entire group can benefit from. We see great development opportunities together with Lauridsen.

Leading Lauridsen for almost 30 years has been an incredible journey. It's been a collaborative effort, involving not just the colleagues but also our family. The time is right to hand over the reins, and I'm confident that the company will flourish in its new phase. Selling the business was a collective family decision. Our discussions with Uniwater have been positive, and they've shown great respect towards both us and our colleagues. Moreover, we have a shared vision that we're excited to bring to life together."

Hot tapping and line stopping services are undergoing strong growth in the water and water treatment industry. The acquisition positions us well in order to meet growing demands within the segment, and increase our presence on a wider international stage.

CEO of Tonisco Service, Jalmari Nisso, is looking forward to growing the business as part of the Uniwater group. “Shared values, expertise, and self-driven operators are the building blocks to a successful partnership with Uniwater. Operational synergies make us stronger and help us gain competitive advantage in the industry. Together, we can provide the optimal service, and serve our customers better than ever before.

We have wanted to do this for a long time, and now the time is right - we are going all in and establishing ourselves in Finland. We believe strongly in the Finnish market: the need for investment is great, and there are many similarities with both Sweden and Norway, where we already operate. We are now building on our experience and scaling up together with local staff.
