Finnish healthcare group Mehiläinen has acquired the occupational health services of Heltti Oy in a business transaction taking effect on 1 September 2026. The deal strengthens Mehiläinen’s position as one of Finland’s leading providers of occupational health services.
Around 60 of Heltti’s occupational health professionals will transfer to Mehiläinen as existing employees. Founded in 2013, Heltti has built a reputation for customized, fixed-price occupational health services for companies whose employees perform intellectual work. It currently serves more than 800 small and medium-sized companies across Finland, with its occupational health services used by approximately 9,000 employees.
The two companies have worked together since 2020, when Mehiläinen became Heltti’s partner clinic. “It is truly wonderful to take the next step together and welcome you to the Mehiläinen team,” said Antti Miettinen, Business Director of Working Life Services at Mehiläinen, adding that Heltti’s expertise, values and services complement Mehiläinen’s offering.
Heltti clients will gain access to Mehiläinen’s broad range of services and network, including its Digital Clinic and YritysMehiläinen corporate service, which provides real-time visibility into occupational health service usage and sick-leave monitoring.
Heltti will continue its therapy, mental health care and organizational development businesses under a new brand from 1 September 2026.
Timo Lappi, Chairman of Heltti’s Board, marked the milestone on LinkedIn, counting 4,867 days from the company’s founding to the sale of its occupational health business. He wrote that Heltti had helped tens of thousands of people across more than 1,000 client companies and said the company had built what he described as Finland’s best workplace in the health sector, based on research.
