Bravida and DEOS – Passion for building automation with ambitious plans for the future

In the dynamic and demanding world of professional building automation (GA) of non-residential buildings in Finland, there is intense competition – especially in the field of energy optimization. Numerous manufacturers are fighting for the favor of customers. In this environment, system integrators are establishing themselves who have many years of experience and in-depth expertise in the energy-efficient optimisation of buildings – and who rely on strong and proven manufacturer solutions for this purpose. One of these companies has not only held its own in this challenging market environment but has also distinguished itself through its particular professionalism and visionary thinking: Bravida (www.bravida.fi).

The path to a successful partnership

The Finnish company Arealtec was founded in 1994 by Kari Kumpulainen and Jarkko Turunen as a specialist and system integrator for BMS i.e. building automation systems in the areas of heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology. The previous automation system that Arelatec used for a decade started to lack on competitiveness and the features couldn’t be further developed to serve the needs of the growing markets.

The founders of Arealtec started with Deos in year 2012 when the successful co-operation between the two companies started. Later Arelatec was taken over by Assemblin and in 2021 the company was bought by Bravida Finland Oy. Today Bravida Finland manages the DEOS parters network in the Finnish market.

Bravida – Technical partner for buildings and facilities

Bravida is one of the Nordic region‘s leading provider of end-to-end solutions for service and installation of electricity, plumbing, ventilation and other technical functions in buildings and facilities.

Bravida originates from former BPA, a Swedish building and installation company with roots from the 1920‘s. The company was formed in 2000 through a merger of BPS and the installation sector of Telenor. In the autumn of 2015, Bravida was listed at Nasdaq Stockholm and at the same time the company started its operations in Finland when Bravida Finland Oy was established.

Today Bravida has more than 84 000 customers, 14 000 employees and the company operates in 192 locations within the Nordic region. Bravida has invested heavily on developing its building automation operations in the whole Group and in Finland Bravida has 100 professionals working solely on building automation.

Innovative energy-saving solutions: Bravida with DEOS technology

Based on the high-performance DEOS systems, Bravida has carried out its own product developments and expansions – precisely tailored to the requirements of the Scandinavian market. This resulted in tailor-made solutions for energy monitoring and management, among other things. The common goal: to further intensify market development and create sustainable added value for customers.

A springboard for the future

With great passion and commitment, Bravida continues to rely on DEOS solutions today. At the same time, the company continuously mentors and trains new Finnish system integrators. This forward-looking initiative has led to numerous successful reference projects – as proof of quality, reliability and innovation.

This is how Bravida developed into one of the most important technical general contractors for building automation in Finland. The heart of the project: the implementation of sophisticated project solutions in the field of building automation.

In combination with a dedicated service and maintenance team, Bravida ensures that buildings save energy in the long term and noticeably through automation – based on the reliable and efficient DEOS system as a central part of daily work.

In addition, Bravida offers comprehensive expertise in the fields of electrical engineering, plumbing and HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning). This broad positioning makes it possible to offer customers holistic and tailormade solutions from a single source – a decisive advantage in complex construction projects.

Bravida‘s future-oriented partnership with DEOS

Bravida‘s plans for the future are clearly geared towards growth and further development – supported by a cooperative and trusting partnership with DEOS, the German solution provider and system manufacturer. This close connection between Bravida and DEOS is much more than a classic cooperation: it is a common path, characterized by innovative strength and the aspiration to implement outstanding solutions for building automation. The aim is to jointly set new standards, develop cost-effective and at the same time sustainable technologies and inspire the Scandinavian market with well-thought-out solutions.
