Efficiency and cost savings through nearshoring cooperation

Founded in Finland in 1979, Evac Group is the world’s leading supplier of integrated water, waste and wastewater systems, spare parts and services for the marine industry. Evac’s solutions are used on thousands of vessels and offshore installations worldwide, and the company is known as a pioneer in sustainable maritime solutions. Evac has made use of Comatec’s services for a number of years, and cooperation with the Romanian unit, for example, began as early as twenty years ago.

At Evac, the development of design activities is guided by a strong ambition to utilise modern ways of working and digital tools in an international environment where solutions have a direct impact on the energy efficiency and environmental footprint of maritime transport.

Starting points and objectives:

  • With a growing project portfolio, the objective is to strengthen design capacity in cooperation with a reliable partner who understands established ways of working and delivers value.
  • It is important to the customer that the partner is able to provide high-quality design services at competitive prices.
  • Design projects must be completed within deadlines and meet the client’s technical and operational specifications.
  • Effective and transparent communication is a key component of effective collaboration.
  • Most of the design work can be done remotely, which allows us to focus not on the physical location of our experts, but on their expertise, commitment, and ability to work as part of the client’s teams.

Results and benefits:

  • This integrated solution enables us to provide scalable, high-quality design services at competitive prices—more cost-effectively than the client organisation could achieve using only its own personnel in Finland.
  • Comatec’s nearshore cooperation offers Evac a high‑quality, flexible and scalable design partnership.
  • Our international nearshore service organisation enables cost‑efficient and high‑quality delivery of design work.
  • Jointly developed operating models and long-term collaboration promote reliable and manageable project execution. As a long-term design partner, we understand the client company’s processes, quality requirements, and corporate culture.
  • Our collaboration is based on shared ground rules and effective, open communication.
  • The Comatec Group’s extensive network of more than 500 experts, combined with strong internal training and background support, ensures the quality, continuity and reliability of design delivery.

We have very good communication with Comatec, and they have a positive attitude towards our development needs. Quality is not compromised, and cooperation is smooth overall. – Product and Project Design Manager Jaakko Ruotoistenmäki, Evac Group.
