Divisions’ competitive strategies

Divisions’ competitive strategies 

 

L&T’s business is divided into three divisions: Environmental Services, Property and Office Support Services and Industrial Services, each with its own division strategy.

Environmental Services is the sector’s market leader in Finland. It also aims to be a major player abroad in selected business activities in environmental management.

Environmental Services seeks to operate as comprehensively as possible in all sections of the logistics chain and to endeavour to achieve nationwide market leadership in an increasing number of materials in Finland. Its operations are based mainly on the division’s own product range, the aim being the assurance of large volumes for its own processing plants. Besides this, the Company has strategic partners with whom it will be possible to expand operations into tangential markets.

Over the last few years, major investments have been made in plants in terms of their recycling operations, in order to raise the degree of waste recovery and continue to strengthen L&T’s position in the final section of the logistics chain. These investments will continue. A comprehensive plant network will bring a competitive edge to the Company.

Environmental Services is endeavouring to exploit its expertise, especially in the Baltic States and selected areas in Russia, where market development lags considerably behind Finland. The aim is to extend the business to the entire logistics chain, although investments will be focused on recycling plants.

Property and Office Support Services is the second-biggest operator in its field in Finland. In the future, Property and Office Support Services will seek a significant position in Sweden, the Baltic States and selected areas in Russia. L&T will endeavour to distinguish itself from its competitors through the quality of its work and the high standard of its production management systems. An important tool for achieving this aim lies in its system of service concepts for specific customer segments. L&T provides office support services, e.g. mailing, reception and catering, either on its own or in cooperation with other companies in the field.

Industrial Services. L&T offers the broadest selection of industrial services in Finland, and in terms of product lines it is the nation’s largest or second-largest operator. In Industrial Services, Lassila & Tikanoja is a customer-oriented supplier of comprehensive solutions. Its focus is on constructing operating models that can optimise capacity allocation to correspond to fluctuations in demand.
