Katko Oy and Solar Group have formed a strategic partnership to strengthen their market presence across Northern Europe and expand the availability of high-quality electrical solutions.

Katko Oy has entered into a new strategic group-level partnership with Solar Group, a leading European sourcing and services company headquartered in Denmark, further strengthening its position across Northern Europe. The collaboration brings together Katko’s long-standing technical expertise and Solar Group’s strong and extensive market reach, enabling broader product availability and a strengthened market presence across Northern Europe.

Combining Strengths to Drive Nordic Growth

The partnership is founded on shared values and complementary strengths. By combining Solar’s extensive market reach with Katko’s high-quality product portfolio, both companies aim to unlock new growth opportunities across the Nordic region.

“We see great potential in this partnership,” says Peter Pedersen, CCO, Solar Group. “Katko’s reputation for Nordic quality, durability and user focused design aligns perfectly with Solar’s strategy of delivering high quality products combined with strong customer value. By leveraging our extensive market reach across our core markets, we can scale Katko’s solutions to a much wider installer and industry customer base. This collaboration unlocks strong growth opportunities for both businesses, and we look forward to developing new value together.”
