Strategic objective: accelerating growth
The new owner will support Suvia Group’s next phase of growth and enable investments that further strengthen the company’s development. The objective is also to pursue growth through selected acquisitions and to reinforce Suvia Group’s position in the Finnish automotive damage services market. The company’s executive management will continue with the Group and is committed to driving the business forward in partnership with the new owner.
“We are excited to begin a new phase in Suvia Group’s development together with Intera. Suvia has built a strong position in the Finnish automotive damage market by combining damage inspection and assessment, collision repair, and spare parts services into a unique integrated offering,” says Jens Jensen, CEO of Suvia Group.
Intera will provide Suvia with long-term support and expertise that will strengthen the company’s ability to invest in developing its services and network, advancing digitalization, and continuously developing personnel competence.
“Our goal is to grow responsibly and profitably, further improve the customer experience, and—together with our people—build Suvia’s next growth phase, making everyday life easier for our customers and partners,” comments Jens Jensen.
“Suvia is an excellent example of a growing service business, which are at the core of Intera’s investment strategy. At Suvia, we particularly value its entrepreneurial culture and the professionalism and quality with which the company serves its customers. We believe that by combining Intera’s resources with Suvia’s expertise, we will create conditions to further accelerate the company’s growth,” says Iikka Moilanen, Partner at Intera.
