Forcit relocates to Technopolis Hermia in Tampere
Forcit is centralizing its Tampere operations at Technopolis’ Hermia campus and expanding its premises to support its growing business. Forcit is a 132-year-old Finnish explosives company that offers products and services for the civilian and defence sectors.
Forcit’s new premises at the Hermia campus cover 2,000 m² and include office space and dedicated meeting rooms for internal work and client meetings.
“Negotiations for the new premises progressed smoothly and efficiently with Technopolis, and they were able to meet our tight timeline. Technopolis’ services support our daily office operations in Hervanta and Tampere exceptionally well,” says Forcit’s Executive Vice President, Alex Lagerstedt.
For many companies, the possibility of combining office space with specialized facilities, such as production or laboratory spaces, increases the appeal of the Technopolis Hermia campus. This option is also important for Forcit, in case the need for such facilities arises in the future.
“Forcit has a significant number of employees and valuable expertise in Tampere, currently spread across several locations. It felt natural for us to look for a new and sufficiently large space where the whole team could work together and have room to grow. Hervanta is an excellent location for office space, as it’s easily accessible by public transport and car, offers a competitive price-quality ratio for larger premises, and provides opportunities for expansion and specialized facilities. Additionally, it’s a well-known business hub near the university,” Lagerstedt explains.
Forcit will move into its new premises at the Hermia campus in the fall.
“We are proud to have met Forcit’s needs within their desired schedule and are very happy they chose our Hermia campus. Growing companies like Forcit are vital to the attractiveness of the Hervanta area and are a great example of how the area supports companies across various sectors, such as security, healthcare services, and ICT,” says Mari Kultalaakso, Director of Technopolis’ Tampere Business Unit.
