Alltime Finland has been awarded two notable green services contracts in the Tampere region. The company launched its expanded green services offering in 2025 through a pilot project with Ideapark Lempäälä, which won the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre’s sustainability competition. The new contracts represent a continuation of increasing market demand.
In Tampere, Alltime was awarded a contract by Tampereen Infra for the control of harmful invasive species for the period 2026–2028. The contract is valued at approximately EUR 100,000 per year and includes, among others, the environmental management of invasive plant species. The work will be carried out mechanically, without the use of pesticides, across multiple sites throughout the city.
The Municipality of Pirkkala has, in turn, selected Alltime as its partner for green space maintenance of public properties. The agreement covers grounds maintenance at municipal facilities such as day-care centres, schools, a health centre and a residential care facility.
“The importance of biodiversity considerations in property services continues to increase. This is clearly reflected in growing interest and awareness across both the public and private sectors. For example, the Tampere Infra service package will significantly contribute to the control of invasive species and thereby improve the living conditions of native species at a local level,” says Noora Raitanen, Supervisor, Green Space Maintenance at Alltime Finland.

Alltime’s Swedish subsidiary Alltime Sverige AB has acquired Fastighetsmästaren Supply AB, a facility management services provider in Northern Sweden, to support its growth in the region. The acquisition strengthens Alltime Sweden’s existing operations with over 30 employees.
Fastighetsmästaren Supply, founded in 2017, is a well-established service provider in the Kiruna and Gällivare area. It is a full-service facility management partner, with a wide service portfolio consisting of for example facility maintenance, technical services and HVAC, financial management services, cleaning and various support services. In 2024, its net sales were approximately SEK 50 million (about EUR 4.5 million).
“Expanding our operations in a fast-growing and changing region, as well as gaining highly skilled new colleagues through the acquisition is fantastic. We will do our utmost to continue delivering at least the same level of quality to Fastighetsmästaren Supply’s existing customers. Growing our business in Sweden through both acquisitions and organic development is an important step in Alltime’s continued growth journey,” says Carl Wiktorsson, CEO, Alltime Sweden.
“Fastighetsmästaren Supply AB began as a service organisation for my other business interests, but over the years it has developed and grown, not only internally but above all together with external customers. Against this background, I see a sale to an established partner as a natural next step in the company’s development. Alltime and Fastighetsmästaren Supply share both a long-term perspective and high quality standards, which made Alltime a natural future owner. It will be exciting to see the journey ahead,” says Magnus Bäcktorp, Chairman of the Board, Fastighetsmästaren Supply.
“Following the acquisition, we have a uniquely strong offering in the northern parts of both Sweden and Finland, where Alltime’s history is also deeply rooted. Accelerating our inorganic growth in Sweden has been one of our key priorities, which also supports our organic growth,” remarks Juha Murtopuro, CEO, Alltime Group.

How do you manage the maintenance of dozens of schools and daycare centres in a way that keeps users satisfied and technical systems running smoothly? According to Atso Selkälä, Quality Manager at Espoo City’s Facilities Services, a property caretaker is often like an ice hockey referee – if you don’t see or hear from them, everything is going well.
Expertise and the right people are key
The City of Espoo began partially outsourcing its propertyand facility maintenance in 2014. Today, Alltime is responsible for two of the city’s six outsourced areas.
“Outsourcing was a significant change for users, and there were inevitably some challenges. People were used to their familiar ‘Matti’—someone who wasn’t just doing a job but was part of the community. When an external service provider came in, I, as the area manager, had to attend many meetings to explain the changes. Now that people have adjusted and the initial fuss has passed, everything works exceptionally well,” says Selkälä.
Selkälä began his career at the City of Espoo as a property caretaker in 1986 and has since moved through various roles to become a quality manager. His responsibilities include managing outsourced property service contracts, overseeing quality control, conducting tender processes, and providing expert insight. The work is highly diverse and engaging. His extensive field experience in property maintenance gives him a unique perspective when evaluating services.
“Facility maintenance is easy to understand when you’ve done it yourself on a grassroots level. I’ve walked every step of this path, and it helps me understand the needs of all parties involved,” says Selkälä.
Atso Selkälä oversees Espoo’s properties with almost 40 years of experience.
He points to industry-wide challenges such as staff availability, motivation, the increasing importance of language skills, automation, and the need to maintain professional competence. Effective communication with users is also vital.
With nearly 40 years of experience in Espoo’s properties, Selkälä adds: “Everything starts with the caretaker. When the right people are in the right roles, everything else falls into place. Alltime has succeeded in providing us with the right professionals.”
Advanced quality control ensures successful service experience
Espoo aims to be a forerunner in quality assurance. The value of facility maintenance is measured through an advanced audit system developed by Espoo Facilities Services—something Selkälä hasn’t seen elsewhere.
“We’ve been developing our quality control system since 2014. It now operates through a customised audit section in our maintenance logbook, which we fine-tuned to our needs over an intense two-year development period,” Selkälä explains.
There are approximately 400 audited sites. The city conducts audits twice a year, while external service providers, like Alltime, audit their areas four times annually as per contract. Each season has its own audit template and results are reviewed in monthly monitoring meetings.
“We receive reports categorised by service provider, building, individual caretaker, auditor, and area. We use precise numerical indicators. The target score is four on a scale of one to five, and Alltime has achieved excellent results,” Selkälä says.
Quick response and proactive customer service
Service quality is also measured by how promptly and effectively deviations identified in audits are addressed. According to Selkälä, Alltime has excelled in this area.
“Alltime has responded to issues exactly as required. Our contact person is assertive and efficient, always taking ownership of matters and delivering results,” Selkälä says.
He also highlights the importance of user experience: “A property caretaker is like a hockey referee—if you don’t notice them, all is well. But if something goes wrong, you’ll definitely hear about it. Ideally, the caretaker feels like a member of the community.”
Beyond responsiveness, Selkälä commends Alltime for its initiative:
“Last year, at the Kivenlahti community park, there was an event where Alltime brought along equipment for residents to explore. It was especially popular with children and families. The idea came from a proactive site supervisor at Alltime. Absolutely brilliant—this is exactly the kind of thing we value.”
The future of facility services: A combination of people and technology
Facility maintenance is undergoing a transformation. Increasing automation and digitalisation are calling for new skillsets, while finding skilled workers remains a significant challenge.
“In future, more IT skills and system management knowledge will be needed. Customer service skills are also becoming even more important,” Selkälä notes. “That’s why we provide ongoing specialist training for caretakers. We’ve run courses in customer service, problem-solving, geothermal heating, and plumbing.”
Drones are already used for tasks such as gutter inspections, and robotic lawnmowers are becoming more common in some locations. Still, Selkälä believes property maintenance will remain a people-centred industry.
“Our work is very much about people. It’s hard to imagine caretakers being completely replaced by robots. Technology will support the work, but people aren’t going anywhere. I’ve worked with many service providers, and it’s easy to say that Alltime strikes an impressive balance between forward-thinking and day-to-day excellence,” Selkälä concludes.

In 2024, a community event was held at the park, where Alltime brought along equipment and machinery for residents to explore. The event was especially well-received among children and families, gaining remarkable popularity.
Alltime Finland has signed a significant agreement with the City of Turku’s Facilities Services to provide property maintenance services in the Hirvensalo area. With this contract, Alltime further extends its service offering in one of Turku’s key districts.
The agreement covers outdoor area maintenance and technical property management for schools and daycare centres in the area. It also includes the maintenance of Hirvensalo fire station and community centre, as well as service coordinator duties for the community centre. The estimated annual turnover of the contract is approximately 250,000 euros.
Service production will begin on 1 May 2025. The contract is valid for three years, with the option to extend for a further two years. The City of Turku’s Facilities Services is a long-time customer for Alltime, and this new contract marks a regional expansion of the collaboration.
“We have strong experience of both the customer and the Hirvensalo area. This is due to also working as a service provider for the city in this district in the past, which provides a solid foundation for the cooperation,” says Tero Jurmu, Property Services Specialist at Alltime Finland.
The development of property maintenance services in Hirvensalo further strengthens Alltime’s position as a leading provider of property services in the Turku region.
