Eltel Networks was founded on June 29, 2011 when Fortum sold IVO Transmission Engineering to a Finland based private equity investor. In 10 years the business environment of electricity and telecommunications has changed dramatically. Deregulation, privatizations and outsourcings have been a big booster for the success of our societies and Eltel has been an important contributor in this development.
Our customers are the leading network owners and operators, and technology providers, in all the countries where we operate. We would like to present our warmest thanks to all our customers with whom we have had the pleasure to do business in all these years. Our cooperation has extended from EUR 190 million to 900 million just in 10 years of existence.
Eltel would not be the leader of Infranet industry without its highly competent partners. These come from various sectors in technology, materials, IT, financial and business services just to name a few. What is common to our partners is that together we have always set the bar very high, to be world class and to be an innovative pioneer. Thanks to our partners.
Finally a service company like Eltel is all about people. When we started we were 1,500 persons. Now we are 8,000 people. Operating with permanent establishments in nine countries and delivering projects all around the world we also represent a great variety of cultures and habits. Our drivers are specialization, empowerment and proactivity. The Eltel Way is built around these values regardless where we are. -Our people, both who work at Eltel today, but also those who worked here before, we have to thank for what we are today.
With these words on this beautiful summer morning we look confidently into the future. The Infranet society is not yet complete. However, there is a growing interest globally to continue the work. Together with our stakeholders we have been able to build a better world, building lines across lakes, forests and fjords, bring electricity to villages in Africa. While these challenges will continue we are adding new ones. The future society is more smart, more intelligence will be introduced to the systems and gadgets in our daily life. Together we will do it again – together we will build the smart society of the 21st century.
