The Nevel transaction between Vapo and Ardian, a world leading private investment house, has been completed today. Nevel’s ownership has been transferred to Ardian Infrastructure. Competition authorities in Finland and in Sweden granted their approval for the transaction in December 2020.
Nevel’s work to drive the development of utility infrastructure initiatives for industries and municipalities continues. Ardian’s ownership provides an opportunity to accelerate the efforts and explore new business opportunities in all the markets where Nevel operates with a strong focus on sustainability. For customers, the new ownership opens up an opportunity to widen their collaboration with Nevel.
“Ardian’s ownership provides us a solid support in our mission to take utility infrastructure to the next level. With this cooperation we bring value to our customers, the environment and society as a whole by creating local ecosystems and enabling efficient use of resources,” says Nevel’s CEO Markus Hassinen.
