Finland’s leading water-saving service company Envera Oy gets a new owner, as Taaleri’s circular economy fund buys 20% of the company’s share capital. Taaleri’s holding helps to realise Envera’s strong growth plan.
With 20 staff currently in Espoo, Tampere and Oulu, Envera will open offices in Turku and Stockholm during the next year. Envera’s objective is to become the leading supplier of real-estate water-saving services in the Nordic Countries by 2020.
