The Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) sold its Vakola Measurement and Standardisation function located in Vihti to VTT Expert Services Ltd. The acquisition contract was signed 31 May. The business will be transferred to VTT Expert Services Ltd on 1 June 2016.

VTT Expert Services Ltd will continue the provision and development of acquired services, focussing on customers’ needs. Until further notice, the official granting of ATP certificates will remain with Luke. Technological research conducted by Luke is not included in the acquisition. A total of 11 employees will transfer from Luke to VTT Expert Services Ltd on their current terms of employment. VTT Expert Services will continue to provide services in the Vakola facilities in Vihti.
