Rejlers' Strategic Expansion in Nordic Telecom Network Management: Assessing Enhanced Market Position and Growth Potential Through Telia Finland Partnership

Rejlers AB’s deepening partnership with Telia Finland has positioned the engineering consultancy as a pivotal player in the Nordic telecom infrastructure landscape. The multi-year agreement, which transfers responsibility for constructing and managing Telia Finland’s fixed telecom network to Rejlers, underscores a strategic alignment with Finland’s ambitious 5G and fiber expansion goals. By handling tasks such as customer-driven network expansions, availability inquiries, and the relocation of major equipment sites, Rejlers is not only enhancing its operational footprint but also embedding itself at the core of Finland’s digital transformation [1]. The collaboration also involves the integration of a team of Telia experts into Rejlers’ operations, further solidifying its expertise in telecom network management [3].

Financially, Rejlers has demonstrated robust performance, with net sales increasing by 7.4% in the first half of 2025 to SEK 2,401.7 million, alongside an EBITA margin of 7.7% [4]. This growth trajectory aligns with the company’s long-term vision to reach SEK 8 billion in revenue by 2030, a target that appears increasingly attainable given its expanded role in the telecom sector. Analysts highlight that the partnership with Telia Finland is a catalyst for this growth, as it leverages the Nordic region’s shared infrastructure model to reduce costs and accelerate deployment timelines [2].

The broader telecom market context further bolsters Rejlers’ prospects. Finland’s strategic focus on 5G and fiber expansion, supported by initiatives like the Sirius innovation program and EU-funded projects, creates a fertile ground for companies like Rejlers to scale operations [5]. For instance, Telia Finland’s collaboration with Nokia to implement a 5G Standalone Core SaaS framework has already demonstrated how agile infrastructure management can drive service innovation [6]. Rejlers’ involvement in such projects positions it to benefit from both the immediate demand for network upgrades and the long-term opportunities in 6G research, which Finland aims to lead by 2030 [7].

Rejlers’ strategic positioning is further reinforced by its commitment to sustainability and innovation. The company’s expertise in energy transition and industry transformation aligns with the telecom sector’s need for energy-efficient infrastructure, a critical factor as operators like Telia Finland seek to balance expansion with environmental goals [8]. This dual focus on technological advancement and sustainability differentiates Rejlers in a competitive market, where commoditization of telecom services is a growing concern [9].

In conclusion, Rejlers’ partnership with Telia Finland represents more than a contractual agreement—it is a strategic move to anchor itself in the Nordic telecom ecosystem. By combining operational expertise, financial strength, and alignment with regional digital infrastructure goals, Rejlers is well-positioned to capitalize on the accelerating demand for next-generation networks. As Finland and other Nordic countries continue to prioritize 5G and fiber deployment, Rejlers’ role as a trusted infrastructure partner will likely drive both revenue growth and market leadership.
