Loihde in Brief

Loihde is a service company specialising in digital services and security solutions. Loihde builds digital solutions for customers and protects them from cyber security risks and other security risks. The company helps its customers utilise data and digitalisation and ensure continuity of business.

Loihde operates on the IT and security markets which are central to the development of society. The markets in which Loihde operates are growing, and the company is focusing particularly on growth segments within these markets.

Loihde has two business areas:

The Digital Development business area offers customers business intelligence and data utilisation services, as well as development of digital services. In addition, the business area focuses heavily on developing artificial intelligence solutions and creating data governance services. Loihde delivers its services in a technology neutral way, including, for example, all the leading cloud technologies.

The Security Solutions business area offers customers services in both physical security and cyber security. Physical security services mainly consist of locking, video surveillance and other security technology services. The company’s cyber security services offer customers, for example, network protection, protection of terminal equipment, identity and access management, information security consulting and secure IT infrastructure.

Capabilities that bridge the two businesses – such as systems integration competencies and making use of the data generated by security systems – provide the opportunity to create more comprehensive service solutions for customers and thereby promote Loihde’s competitiveness. The businesses have many customers in common as well as the potential for cross-selling.

In 2020, Loihde Group’s revenue amounted to EUR 106.8 million (2019: EUR 103.1 million), and the Group’s adjusted EBITDA was EUR 6.2 million (2019: EUR 5.5 million).
