The founder of Onninen, Mr. Alfred Onninen, started out as a plumbing contractor in Turku in 1913. In the 1920s the business diversified into heating and plumbing wholesale, gradually extending into different parts of Finland. The company went into ventilation and electrical contracting as well as wholesale of ventilation and electrical products more than 30 years ago.

Internationalization, which began in the 1970s in the form of project exports, has continued for more than a decade through organic growth and through acquisitions. As a result of a reorganization at the end of the 1990s, Onninen gave rise to the Onvest Group.

Today, Onninen is a company with 3,100 employees and operating in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Russia and the Baltic Countries.

Their aim is to continuously improve their strategies, operations and operational efficiency. They do this to ensure that their business operations run smoothly, that they always meet market needs and provide customers and suppliers with the best possible service.

Their quality thinking covers the following aspects:

• Leading and supervising target-setting
• Planning and developing action plans
• Prioritizing and deploying chosen action plans
• Organizing and implementing needed changes
• Assessing and reviewing improvement

They recognize that there is a need to constantly develop their corporate responsibility. Onninen’s success is monitored with employee and customer satisfaction indexes, quality certification and other feedback from their employees and the surrounding society.
