9Solutions con­tin­ues strong growth as part of ASSA ABLOY

9Solutions Oy, the lead­ing provider of real time locat­ing based health­care safe­ty and com­mu­ni­ca­tion solu­tions, has been acquired by the ASSA ABLOY Group. The acqui­si­tion fur­ther strength­ens 9Solutions Oy’s posi­tion and opens up new oppor­tu­ni­ties for growth.

9Solutions has grown sig­nif­i­cant­ly in recent years, and its inno­v­a­tive solu­tions are already used by near­ly 2,000 health­care orga­ni­za­tions in the Nordic coun­tries. By com­bin­ing health­care per­son­al safe­ty, loca­tion, and com­mu­ni­ca­tion sys­tems into a sin­gle solu­tion, 9Solutions has accel­er­at­ed the dig­i­tal­iza­tion of health­care and the devel­op­ment of smart hos­pi­tals.

“We are very pleased to join the ASSA ABLOY fam­i­ly,” says Sami Her­rala, founder of 9Solutions Oy. “ASSA ABLOY is a strong and trust­ed part­ner that offers us excel­lent oppor­tu­ni­ties to con­tin­ue our growth and devel­op inno­v­a­tive solu­tions for health­care needs. I believe this acqui­si­tion will ben­e­fit our cus­tomers, part­ners, and employ­ees.”

9Solutions’ head­quar­ters and all its oper­a­tions will remain in Oulu. With the acqui­si­tion, the company’s cus­tomers will have access to an even wider range of prod­ucts and ser­vices, as well as the sup­port of the ASSA ABLOY Group’s glob­al net­work.

“We are excit­ed to lever­age the syn­er­gies brought by ASSA ABLOY’s exten­sive exper­tise and resources,” says Juk­ka Ket­tunen, CEO of 9Solutions Oy. “Togeth­er, we can offer our cus­tomers an even broad­er and more inno­v­a­tive prod­uct port­fo­lio that meets the evolv­ing needs of health­care. “

Ket­tunen con­tin­ues: “I strong­ly believe that togeth­er with ASSA ABLOY, we can grow and devel­op faster than we could have alone. By join­ing forces, we can offer our cus­tomers the best solu­tions on the mar­ket while accel­er­at­ing the dig­i­tal­iza­tion of health­care.”
