BST Group acquires sprinkler and consulting operations of Finnish company Paloff, taking the next step in its expansion

BST Group continues its expansion journey by acquiring the sprinkler and consulting businesses of Paloff, a market-leading fire protection company in Finland. This acquisition is a crucial part of the group’s ambition to become a Nordic fire protection specialist.

Paloff is a leading Finnish fire protection company with seven branches and 52 employees. Since 2008, Paloff has operated across the country, primarily focusing on the design, installation, and service of sprinkler systems, with design services provided by an independent consulting firm. Both businesses are now part of BST Group.

“It’s very exciting to join BST Group. This will give us the strength to continue growing while also enabling a tremendous exchange of knowledge between the companies. BST Group and Paloff have very similar values and ways of running their businesses, which I believe will be a significant advantage as the companies cross national borders and cultural differences may arise,” says Sammy Lindholm, Chairman of Paloff Group Oy.

Paloff has offices in Helsinki, Tampere, Rauma, Jyväskylä, Seinäjoki, Oulu, and Tuuri. The company will continue to operate under its well-established brand and in the same organization as before. For BST Group, this acquisition marks the first step towards becoming a Nordic player.

“At BST Group, we are very pleased to have made a significant acquisition in Finland. Paloff is a company with a strong forward-thinking approach that fits very well with BST Group’s culture. This acquisition moves us closer to our goal of developing the group into the leading Nordic player in fire protection and provides a perfect platform in the Finnish market,” says Peter Bühler, Group CEO of BST Group.

The acquisition of Paloff’s businesses is a piece of the ongoing expansion journey for the group, which is also progressively working towards activities in Norway and Denmark with the aim of becoming a comprehensive Nordic fire protection specialist.
