For over a decade, CoE Group has been delivering electrical engineering, automation engineering and project management services to ABB Energy Industry in Finland. Based primarily in Vaasa, Energy Industries focuses on providing solutions and services that digitalize, automate and electrify industries on both domestic and international scales. Sales Manager Jouko Esko emphasizes that the key to successful project business is that each project is executed with expertise tailored to its specific requirements.
“Acquiring specific expertise for a certain project can be complex and time-consuming, and can require quite a lot of company resources. During our years of collaboration, we have discovered that CoE Group is capable of providing us with the kind of engineering services that meet the requirements of our projects.”
A Skilled and Flexible Engineering Firm
Energy Industry carries out projects for the energy sector, such as power plants, and solutions for the needs of energy transition. ABB utilizes CoE Group’s services at every stage of a project, from design to implementation and testing. The scope and sectors of the projects vary, and they often require a very high level of expertise.
“The engineering firms we work with are required to have a certain level of knowledge and the ability to assume responsibility over their work, especially when projects involve more demanding tasks such as commissioning. We also value flexibility – during growth stages, we have successfully acquired engineering resources from CoE Group within tight schedules. Flexibility, along with their expertise, is one of CoE Group’s strongest qualities.”
CoE Group and ABB have mainly engaged in regular and long-term collaboration in the projects. According to Esko, effective communication is the key to a successful partnership: the communication between ABB and CoE Group is close-knit, and the work communities of the companies work seamlessly together.
ABB’s Business Thrives on the Right Talent
According to Esko, the success of the long-term collaboration between ABB and CoE Group lies in the fact that CoE Group understands the requirements of ABB’s business and customer base. Drawing on its deep understanding of its partners’ operations, CoE Group assigns to each project individuals whose background, interests, and values support the success of the project.
“CoE Group values their employees and considers them fundamental for the company’s success. Once, a CoE Group professional was seeking new opportunities within the company. Based on knowledge of our company and of the person’s attributes, CoE Group directly assigned the person to our projects, even though we had no immediate need for services at the time. The assignment led to fruitful, long-term cooperation, which a testament to CoE Group’s professionalism. Our business thrives on the right kind of talent and on ensuring the right professional is working in the right project – and that is CoE Group’s field of expertise.”
