06.06.2007
Havator Group, the largest corporate group in the Nordic countries offering lifting services, special transports and harbour crane services launches a shareholding programme in the summer of 2007. The shareholding programme is aimed for the entire personnel of the group.
Motivating the personnel and engaging them in the company are the key elements for the success of Havator. The group wants to offer its employees a chance to invest in Havator and thereby profit from the successful business, explains Group President Erkki Hanhirova.
Havator Group, which was founded in 1956, was a family business for a long time. In December 2006 Havator Group expanded its ownership base as Varma, the largest private sector pension insurer in Finland, and Kaupthing Bank Oyj (Plc) bought in all 25 per cent of the group's shares. The main owner of the company is Erkki Hanhirova, the Group President of Havator, who owns a share of 75 per cent. The expansion of the ownership base, which is realised in the summer of 2007, is a part of the growth strategy of the group.
Through the shareholding programme, the board members and the employees of Havator will own 12 per cent of the company, Hanhirova continues.
