Securitas Technology: More than 20 years of smooth cooperation in Oulu

"From the Peltola campus, we take care of our key operations, such as product design, installation, maintenance and sales. We moved to the campus in 2013, and a few years ago, our security services business also moved here. Thanks to Technopolis, we were able to find a solution where both companies have their own spaces, but we also have shared break rooms and a few meeting rooms," says Janne Lahtinen, Service Manager at Securitas Technology.

For Securitas, the central location and good transport links are everything: the company has customers all over Northern Finland, so it must be quick and easy to head out from the office. The Peltola campus is located right next to the motorway, which makes both customer service and the day-to-day work of maintenance personnel easier.

"Technopolis provides us with functional and tidy facilities. We particularly appreciate the quick access to the motorway from the campus, as some of our customers are located further away from the city. The location makes the day-to-day work of our maintenance personnel smooth, as they can quickly pick up the required parts from the storage space during the working day. Sustainability is also important to us, and because we generate a lot of electronic waste, it's a big advantage for us that we can recycle everything appropriately right on the campus," Lahtinen says.

Securitas needs versatile spaces that adapt to the changing needs of its various businesses. Technopolis' designers have helped implement solutions that serve the needs of both the technology company and the security services business.

"When we moved to the campus, we needed a lot of flexibility from our spaces, as we needed assembly areas, storage spaces and traditional office space. In addition, mobile work requires sufficient parking space for vehicles. Furthermore, the security company had its own special requirements. Technopolis' designers and architects came up with tailored solutions for the needs of both companies," Lahtinen says.

The long-term cooperation between Technopolis and Securitas Technology is based, above all, on reliable service and a people-oriented approach. According to Lahtinen, daily work life runs smoothly on the campus, which gives the company the opportunity to focus fully on its business.

"The best thing about working with Technopolis is the people. The service is first-class, promises are always kept and help is available quickly whenever needed. We particularly appreciate the fact that we can focus on our own business when the property-related matters run reliably in the background. The campus has all the services we need under one roof, which makes our day-to-day work smooth. I can recommend Technopolis particularly to companies that value ease, flexibility and excellent service," Lahtinen says.
