As part of the integration program, overlaps within the companies’ administrative functions were identified, and plans to streamline and enhance administrative efficiency were included in the negotiations. As a result of the negotiations, Gofore will take measures that will lead to the termination of up to 14 employment contracts within the administrative functions of Gofore Plc and Huld Ltd in Finland. Discontinuing overlapping roles, reducing other administrative redundancies, and improving administrative efficiency are expected to generate annual savings of approximately EUR 1.3 million.
The organisations will be operationally integrated in early 2026, which is also when the first cost synergies are expected to materialise.
“The first three months with Huld have shown that together we form a highly relevant combination for our customers in merging the tangible and digital dimensions of the industrial and defence sectors. Collaboration in customer work and sales is already running surprisingly smoothly. We are eagerly looking forward to early next year, when our business operations and support functions will be integrated. Rapid realisation of cost synergies is also important for supporting profitability,” says Mikael Nylund, CEO of Gofore.

Teollisuusjohtajat myöntävät Goforen teettämässä tutkimuksessa, että riskien välttely ja yritysten keskittyminen osingonjakoon tuhoavat Suomen kilpailukykyä.

Industry leaders acknowledge in a study commissioned by Gofore that risk avoidance and companies focusing on dividend yield are undermining Finland's competitiveness.

Gofore ja Huld alkavat suunnitella alkusyksystä ostetun Huldin liiketoimintojen yhdistämistä Goforen organisaatioon. Yhdistämisellä ei haeta liiketoimintaorganisaatioissa henkilöstövähennyksiä, eikä suunnitelmissa ole tehdä merkittäviä rakenteellisia muutoksia tammikuussa 2025 voimaan tulleeseen liiketoiminnalliseen organisoitumiseen. Yhdistämisen mahdollistamiseksi käydään lain edellyttämät muutosneuvottelut.
