Join us on the next chapter of our journey
Gofore has agreed to sell the Product Design & Technical Documentation business, acquired last autumn, to the Finnish energy and industry design and consulting company CoE Group. The business being sold is part of Huld Oy before the transaction is completed. Huld Oy is undergoing a partial demerger, after which this business will be incorporated as its own company. It covers the design and technical documentation of physical products and device assemblies for industry and the defense sector, employing about 120 experts.
The business acquisition agreement was signed today, 22 June 2026, and the transaction is expected to be completed around 1 September 2026, once the ongoing partial demerger of Huld Oy is finalised and the business being sold is incorporated. The entire share capital of the new company will be sold to CoE once the incorporation is complete. The business arrangement does not require approval from the competition authority.
The staff of the product design and technical documentation business will continue in Gofore’s organization for the time being and will transfer to CoE’s employment once the transaction is completed. In connection with the transaction, Gofore and CoE have also entered into a comprehensive cooperation agreement, allowing both companies to offer complementary services to their customers.
