The acquired business is a leading supplier of energy-efficient CO2 based refrigeration systems and related refrigeration automation solutions and has operations in Finland and in Sweden. The revenue of the acquired business amounted to EUR 48 million in 2018, of which EUR 30 million was generated in Sweden and the rest in Finland. Huurre Refrigeration Solutions employs 138 people in Sweden and 134 in Finland.

The acquisition supports Caverion's growth in Services and strengthens our offering in the Cooling business even further after the recent acquisition of Jetitek last year. After the completion of the acquisition, Caverion's combined revenue in Cooling, including refrigeration, will be around EUR 130 million. 

"We highly value the know-how of the personnel of Huurre Refrigeration Solutions, bringing us wholly new opportunities in the design, build and service of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for built environments. We warmly welcome all our new colleagues joining us," says Thomas Hietto, Deputy CEO and Head of Business Unit Services at Caverion.
