Family-owned SOL ranks among Finland’s 200 largest companies 

SOL (parent company SOLEMO) is the 195th-largest company in Finland. In the Talouselämä 500* ranking, we received an excellent overall rating of 9.7. In 2025, our revenue was €389.7 million, representing 4% growth. Our equity ratio was 56%, and the Group employed more than 12,400 people. 

“As family-owned companies, we make decisions with a perspective that spans decades. We are long-term owners, and this long-term approach is also reflected in our pursuit of growth. Companies can grow even in challenging times. Growth does not necessarily have to be an end in itself; it can also be a way of building expertise and developing a service network where our customers need it,” says Juhapekka Joronen, Chair of the Board of SOLEMO Oy, the parent company of the SOL Group, describing the Group’s growth ambitions. 

In 2024, SOL was Finland’s 17th-largest employer. In last year’s Talouselämä 500* ranking, we received a rating of 9.1, which has risen significantly to 9.7 this year. 

The role of family-owned businesses in the Finnish economy has been widely discussed this year. A study published by Aalto University in February, Anatomy of Family Firms in Finland, shows that family-owned businesses play a significant role in the Finnish economy. The study also found that larger family-owned companies are able to grow faster than other companies of a similar size, even in an uncertain operating environment.

SOL provides services in Finland as well as in Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Denmark.
