Gofore’s Well-Received Acquisition of Huld Completed
Gofore’s acquisition of Huld has been completed today, 1 September 2025. Huld significantly enhances Gofore’s Intelligent Industry and Security business and introduces new expertise, including space technology.
Huld’s capabilities double the headcount of Gofore’s Intelligent Industry business. Welcomed enthusiastically by both employees and customers, the merger brings new expertise and expands Gofore’s customer base.
– Huld joining Gofore brings our customers access to broader expertise and stronger capabilities. Together we can – and want to – take on larger responsibilities and support our customers in ever more ambitious projects. A closer collaboration between Huld’s and Gofore’s experts will bring new perspectives and solutions that strengthen our customers’ competitiveness now and, in the future, says Juha Virtanen, CEO of Huld.
Huld Brings New Expertise from New Industries to Gofore
Through the acquisition, Huld enhances Gofore’s offering in areas such as the development of embedded systems, the cybersecurity of machines, devices, and production, as well as functional safety. Additionally, Huld introduces entirely new capabilities in mechanical design, technical documentation, defense technology, and space expertise.
– This significant acquisition is a well-timed and apt investment in Gofore’s growth. It has received an extremely positive reception from our own crew, customers, and investors alike, as our strategic fit is evident. I am very excited about our prospects in both the Intelligent Industry business and the expanding Security business, not to mention the fascinating and new space, which is becoming increasingly essential in defence and climate change mitigation, says Gofore’s CEO Mikael Nylund.
Collaboration Underway Immediately for Customers
Huld’s integration into the Gofore Group brings synergy benefits, which will be utilised right away for the benefit of customers, especially within the Intelligent Industry business. Both existing and new customers will gain access to broader expertise, as Gofore can, for example, take on increasingly comprehensive digital lifecycles of machines and devices, along with software-driven production.
The business transaction was announced on 4 July 2025 and received approval from the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority on 14 August 2025. Today, the entire share capital of the Huld Group (RDV Holding Oy) has been transferred to Gofore, and all Huld’s previous owners became shareholders in Gofore. Huld’s financial figures will be reported as part of the Gofore Group starting 1 September 2025.
