1962 Hämeen Lämpöeriste Oy (later. HL Eriste Oy) is founded

Hämeen Lämpöeriste Oy, HL Eriste Oy was entered into the Trade Register in 1962, with its place of business in Tampere. In the early years, the company's customers were water supply companies, whose work focused on activities other than industry.

Later, HL Eriste Oy worked for the paper and pulp industry and moved exclusively to industrial isolation in the early 1970s. At that time, international customers also arrived, as well as subsidiaries established in several countries and several acquisitions.

HL Eriste Oy's largest customer group was the paper industry and Neste. The large number of customers ensured the sufficiency of work and the company's growth. There were between 130 and 150 employees. In addition to projects, HL Eriste Oy acted as a trainer for insulators, especially sheet metal coating. HL Eriste Oy was a pioneer in the field, e.g. in the prefabrication of insulation parts and as a developer of a tender calculation program.

Kymppi-Eristys Oy was founded in the autumn of 1982 with its domicile in Kiiminki. The first customers were Stora Enso, Kemira, and Rautaruukki.

Kymppi-Eristys Oy became Kymppi Group Oy in 2013 and Kymsol Oy in 2018.

Saimaan Eristys Oy

Saimaan Eristys Oy was founded in the spring of 1982 with its domicile in Lappeenranta. Initially, the customers were wood processing industry factories in Southeast Finland. Work was also carried out at thermal power plants and chemical and food industry plants in Southeast and Eastern Finland. The good position achieved in the industrial market enabled the sufficiency of work in Southeast Finland, where the wood processing concentration was located. The first international works were carried out in Sweden in the early 2000s.

Larger changes took place in the early 2000s. Until then, scaffolding work had been carried out in connection with insulation work, but from then on, Saimaan Eristys Oy invested heavily in the development of quality, occupational safety, and scaffolding expertise.
