Sakari Rahtu Appointed to Drive QMG’s National Service Growth and Strengthen GreenValue Offering

Technical installation services group QMG has appointed Sakari Rahtu as Sales Director, effective November 12, 2024. Rahtu will be responsible for the nationwide development of QMG’s service business sales and the management of key accounts. He will also act as a strategic partner for the group’s local service companies.

Sakari Rahtu has a diverse background in sales and customer relationship development and management across various industries. Most recently, he has been advancing the sales of Cervius, which joined QMG a year ago, and has actively collaborated with other local companies within the group to identify synergies.

The new role strengthens QMG’s position as a national provider of technical installation services

This appointment supports QMG’s strategy to expand its service business nationwide in collaboration with local entrepreneur-led companies.

“Customers are looking for more options for multi-location services. We are a nationally local operator capable of meeting this need—whether by covering all of Finland or serving specific regions. Sakari’s expertise in customer relationship development and his experience in working with our service companies support this model excellently,” says Pekka Pöykkö, who is responsible for QMG’s service business.

Rahtu will also strengthen the position of the GreenValue service concept, which promotes energy efficiency, within QMG’s service companies. This service combines the group’s expertise in automation and energy efficiency, the cloud-based GreenValvomo system, and flexible local implementers.

A Northern-born leader supporting local company collaboration

Originally from Ylitornio and now based in Ostrobothnia, Sakari Rahtu sees many advantages in his background that he can leverage in his new role. He first encountered the technical installation industry through his family’s HVAC company and has since gained extensive experience as an entrepreneur and in sales and managerial positions.

Rahtu will support both regional and national customers, while local companies will continue to operate independently.

“QMG is a unique community that combines an entrepreneurial spirit with teamwork. Our team includes great specialized expertise across Finland, and my goal is to find the best possible solutions for our customers,” Rahtu says.

Collaboration with QMG’s companies involves active presence across Finland. To balance his work, Rahtu enjoys spending time fishing or exploring nature through hunting.
