Karjaan Puhelin has acquired EKM Service Oy Ab, a leading local IT services company.
Founded in 1982, EKM Service Oy Ab is a well-established and respected IT services provider with a long history. The company operates offices in Hanko, Tammisaari, and Karjaa, providing comprehensive IT solutions to SMEs across the coastal regions of Southern Finland and Åland. In 2024, the company's revenue grew to EUR 2.5 million, and it employs 13 professionals. The acquisition enables the broader utilization of EKM Service's strengths and supports its continued development as a leading regional player.
BDO and EKM Service have enjoyed a long-standing client relationship. The close collaboration and mutual trust between the parties contributed to a successful process and outcome. BDO acted as EKM Service's lead advisor throughout the sale process, providing both financial and legal advisory services. BDO assisted the owner in preparing for the transaction, drafting sale materials, conducting negotiations, and successfully completing the sale.
"We are extremely pleased with the outcome and that we found the best possible buyer to support the company's future development. The close cooperation and trust we shared with the BDO team supported us throughout the entire process. With the help of BDO's experts, we were able to carry out the transaction and complete the sale of the company in line with our objectives."
