Property management company Ovenia Oy sharpens its strategy and seeks growth by focusing on client-driven operative property portfolio management and profound expertise in its line of business.

Mika Valtonen, M.Sc.(Tech.), eMBA, was appointed Managing Director of Ovenia on 23 May, 2007. It is with his management that the leading property management company in Finland intends to realise significant growth in the coming years.

- Our organisation is now more compact. Also, we have moved over to customership way of thinking. We will focus on operative portfolio management as it is where our strengths lie. Already available among our services, Mika Valtonen adds, are several service models to suit customer needs in a variety of businesses.

Operative portfolio management services will release the property owner’s resources to its own core business.

- Feedback from our clients tells us we are doing the right things, and, furthermore, we are doing them well and reliably. We operate in close interaction with our clients which means we are able to learn and grow with them. We are a genuine partner to our client, a partner carrying out their property strategy. We buy the services required by our client from the market and manage the network according to changing needs, Valtonen continues.

Ovenia is independent of the property service providers it contracts which is why Ovenia’s service concept is able to guarantee its clients the best available solutions in the market.

Ovenia’s services have been encapsulated in three areas of expertise: property management (i.e. maintenance management), financial management, and leasing services. The company has developed several tools and processes of its own to serve each of these sectors. Ovenia services offer property occupants as well as property investors, whether Finnish or foreign, extensive and tailor-made service solutions.
- Our clients choose themselves which of our services best serve their strategies. Our independence of the service providers we contract guarantees operational transparency. Everything starts with the client’s aims and business needs, Mika Valtonen emphasises.

The new strategy and way of business have already proven successful. The market has, in fact, expected focusing and specialisation. The rate at which Ovenia’s new way of business yielded results, was a surprise. Many client relationships have expanded and deepened. New clients are found, new contacts are made. Clients know better how to make good use of property management services, and they regard property and premises as significant commodities in their operation.

Ovenia aims at profitable growth. The company has recruited many new employees in the past few months and the future looks bright. Also, Ovenia has set its sights on expanding its business in the Baltic countries’ markets.
