Protect takes quality and safety services abroad

  Finnish company SK Protect Oy is expanding its operations to Estonia, where it has established a subsidiary called Protect Estonia Oü. Operations in Estonia will start during spring 2020. Protect Estonia Oü has been elected as CEO. Kristjan Puustusmaa, who has several years of experience in sales and marketing both in Estonia and on the international market. Puustusmaa has had a long career in the logistics industry, where he has spent the last 10 years as a director and shareholder of Bullet Express & Logistics, which has grown into an international logistics company.

Puustusmaa sees a clear demand for Protect's expertise and partnership in quality and safety matters in the Estonian market. Protect has been able to create service packages from its knowledge and expertise, from which companies and organisations of different sizes and types can easily derive maximum benefit. He relies on Protect's 18 years of strong industry experience and expertise and believes that combining the skills and expertise of Estonians and Finns will yield good results. "The interest in quality and safety issues comes from the management of a company that understands their function and added value to the overall business. International business requires compliance with quality and safety standards. In addition, Estonia values partnerships with top professionalism, which can be committed to and trusted in the longer term. Success is not about quick wins, but about long-term work," Puustusmaa says.  

Protect Estonia Oü will create operating models, processes and systems suitable for Estonia, which will be the cornerstone of the entire operation. At the same time, different models will be discussed that can be directly applied to the Estonian operating environment. Once the foundation is laid, local experts will step in. The aim is to work as a team, combining the best of Finnish and Estonian quality and safety expertise. The efficiency of Protecti's services is reinforced by PRO24, an ERP system developed by Protecti itself. PRO24 is a tool to keep quality and safety management controlled and systematic. Puustusmaa sees the system as an excellent tool for maintaining and developing quality and safety in companies.- PRO24 has been in use in various companies in Finland for years and its functions have been continuously improved. It serves as an excellent platform for providing companies with management tools and functions that make everyday life easier. Although there is some competition in this area, a thorough system like PRO24 is not available in Estonia, so I believe it will attract interest from many quarters. PRO24 is definitely a pioneer in its field," says Puustusmaa.  

The launch of a subsidiary in Estonia is only the first step in Protect's expansion plans. Protect aims to provide service solutions that guarantee the same quality and safety standards regardless of the destination country. -Expansion abroad has been part of our strategy for some time. In addition, our customers have expressed a desire to expand. Protect's services and operations have now grown to the size that makes it ready for the international market. When the right partners came along, we knew that now was the right time to make the first move," says Salo.
