From pencils and papers to the office's preferred provider

Now that Praecom Group holds the majority share, Konttorikolmio is able to offer customers ICT and remote communication services.

Konttorikolmio became Kainuu's and Ylä-Savo's leading provider of presentation technology and printing solutions, where you can also find furniture and even coffee supplies, for both companies and public administration.

"A strong nine out of ten" for Suomen Yritysmyynti

"There always needs to be room for improvement," Aki Leinonen comments on the score he gave Suomen Yritysmyynti. According to him, things were done as agreed and on schedule. First the company's strengths for potential customers were evaluated together. The valuation and other practical matters were handled professionally. Leinonen warmly recommends turning to outside help for brokering an acquisition: "There are so many things to consider, and you still need to run the company in the meantime."
