President and CEO Tero Kiviniemi believes in teamwork, with every Destia employee contributing to the creation of increasingly high-quality infrastructure for customers.

“Destia’s success is built on people and our corporate culture. A job worth doing is a job worth doing well. We never compromise on technical competence and professional pride.”

“Destia is a significant player in the field of infrastructure construction, with a history that stretches back more than 200 years. As the years have gone by, we have established a strong foundation of technical competence. Today, Destia employs more than 1,500 professionals who are highly competent. We have a strong spirit of getting things done through teamwork.”

“Destia aims to have a development-oriented approach to its business. We can develop our day-to-day operations in a way that enables us to create new customer-driven solutions and services.”

“The development of operating methods and the quality of our work is not something that is done by some small isolated team. It needs to be closely incorporated into the daily life of every Destia employee. In our day-to-day work, we can all think of ways to do things just a little bit better. Collaboration is also essential. To win the game, you need to have the best team.”

“We are a comprehensive infrastructure service provider that genuinely aims to achieve the best outcome for the customer. Recently, we began to further improve our customer relationship management. We need to listen to our customers and understand their needs and problems, and we need to be proactive in coming up with new innovative solutions to those needs and problems.”

“Destia is a leader in quality construction. We do things right the first time. Our organisation has a great deal of technical competence, professional pride and quality-driven thinking. High-quality work must never be taken for granted. It’s something you have to always work on.”

“The infrastructure industry can lead the construction sector in quality-driven thinking. The strict regulations that govern the industry ensure that the measurement and recognition of quality, reporting of nonconformities and proactive repairs are given due attention at every level, down to each individual bridge pile and metre of road.”
