Ambea has, through its Finnish business area Validia, signed an agreement to acquire the business operations of Ehot Ltd. The acquisition covers child and youth care services in Finland, focusing on foster care services and residential units.
Ehot Ltd provides services for children and young people in need of individually tailored support. Founded in 2019, the operations include two residential units for children and youth with extensive support needs.
Child and youth care is a prioritized area for Ambea. These services form part of the group's core offering and are already established through operations in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The acquired operations complement Ambea's two previous acquisitions in Finland and will be integrated into the recently established business segment for child and youth care, further strengthening the group's presence in Finland.
Ehot Ltd's revenue amounted to approximately SEK 40 million for 2024. Upon completion of the acquisition, approximately 50 employees will transfer to Validia. The transaction will close on 1 June 2026.
