Boctok
Bocktok Oy was founded in 1992. Janne Ralli has been running Boctok since 2007, when he took over the company from his father. Today they have a broad service portfolio with electrical, ventilation, piping and building automation. But also a healthy mix of industrial projects, public real estate clients and long-term service contracts in various sectors. Boctok is Currentum’s major platform acquisition in Finland, and it is here with Boctok and Janne Ralli that the future of Currentum in Finland begins.
The future begins here
You can tell by the atmosphere in the Boctok offices that they are in the thick of things. They are in the middle of a €15 million project, and they have just signed the contract for another project worth more than €10 million that will start soon. What makes Boctok interesting on the Finnish market is that they can deliver a complete solution for large projects. With electrical, ventilation, piping and building automation, they are asked for the really exciting assignments – often with associated long-term service agreements. Since 2022, they are part of Currentum. Boctok is a platform investment for Currentum and the choice of Boctok was based on the same criteria that are successful in Sweden and Norway – the company is a leader in its geography, they share the same values as the rest of the group and they have a well-established brand and strong reputation that can be developed. Here’s how Janne talks about the company and the future with Currentum:
- We chose Currentum because we share the same values. And the Group understands that we have found a recipe for success and we now have the opportunity to build on it. Maintaining our culture and identity was crucial for us.
- We believe strongly in Currentum in Finland and we are already sharing our experience as the group looks for new companies to grow with here.
- And even though Currentum is not yet big in Finland, as CEO I already have a lot of talented colleagues to turn to in order to work on the big issues, those that concern our development and growth.
