A step towards a nationwide service network
On 1 April 2025, Pump Service River Oy has acquired the entire share capital of Suomen Jätevesipalvelut Oy, and the company will become a full part of Pump Service River Oy. Suomen Jätevesipalvelut specializes in pumping station maintenance, pump repair, sewer maintenance and repair. The acquisition supports Pump Service River's strategy to expand nationwide and strengthen its position as a leading wastewater industry player in Finland.
Pump Service River Oy is part of River Group, which is Northern Europe's leading water and wastewater company, focusing in particular on pump technology and its aftermarket. With the acquisition, Suomen Jätevesipalvelut Oy will also become part of this respected and rapidly growing Northern European player.
Geographical expansion supports strategy
The acquisition is an important step forward in our strategy to be a comprehensive operator throughout Finland. Suomen Jätevesipalvelut Oy's offices and customer base are an excellent complement to our service network, especially in Western and Southern Finland. The combined resources enable faster service, a stronger local presence and more diverse solutions for our customers.
Combined expertise and growth
After the acquisition, Pump Service River employs a total of approximately 40 professionals in the field, and the combined annual turnover will increase to approximately EUR 6 million. Suomen Jätevesipalvelut Oy will continue to operate under its own name and personnel – now as part of the River Group.
– “Suomen Jätevesipalvelut Oy’s expertise, experience and range of services complement our own operations perfectly. Together, we are able to offer our customers even more comprehensive wastewater services nationwide,” says Jani Hämäläinen, CEO of Pump Service River Oy.
– “Joining River Group and its Northern Europe-wide network gives us a great opportunity to further develop our services and the quality of our operations,” says Ville Laitila, CEO of Suomen Jätevesipalvelut Oy.
