Rantotek Oy and KPA Unicon Oy have agreed on an asset deal on 22 December 2017 which involves KPA Unicon Oy transferring its Pirkkala’s project design work to Rantotek. As a result of the business deal, 6 employees transferred to Rantotek on 1 January 2018 under their existing employment contracts.
The arrangement is part of KPA Unicon’s development strategy, where internal design activities focus on core operations and subcontracting is intensified with partners. The transaction is a natural follow-up for long-time cooperation between KPA Unicon and Rantotek in the field of energy production solutions.
“With the transaction, Rantotek’s competence is strengthened especially in boiler plant engineering and this transaction is an important part of Comatec Group’s strategy implementation with a strong focus on project business,” says Jouni Tuonоnen, the CEO of Rantotek Oy.
”Our goal is to focus our own resources on our core business in providing our customers with energy production solutions and services. We focus our design resources on basic design and co-ordination of design at our offices in Pieksämäki, Kuopio and Helsinki. To achieve this, we need partnerships. We have been cooperating with Rantotek for a long time and with our experience, we believe that this business arrangement will serve all parties,” says Teemu Koskela, Managing Director of KPA Unicon.

Rantotek’s services consist of sub-assemblies, such as process engineering, thermal design, strength calculation, equipment and plant design, and conformity assessment documentation.
