HPK Liiga Oy and Armstrong Ammattiturva Oy have established Armstrong HML Oy, which offers personnel leasing and recruitment services in the Kanta-Häme region. Armstrong Ammattiturva Oy owns 60% of the new company, and HPK Liiga Oy owns 40%.

The chairman of the board of Armstrong HML Oy, Jukka-Pekka Annala, is a long-time expert in the personnel and recruitment industry. He wanted to offer a service to the Hämeenlinna area, and HPK was invited to join.

"Recruitment is always a local and grounded activity, tailored to the character of each community's people and businesses. Hämeenlinna is a fine and traditional place in Finland, and HPK is an essential part of its identity and culture. We bring our strong expertise in the personnel sector to HPK and Hämeenlinna, and in return, we gain a broad-shouldered partner in HPK, which, together with us, can help the region's businesses with these themes," says Annala.

Armstrong Hämeenlinna is the first of HPK's new business ventures aligned with its growth objectives that are not tied to the activities of HPK's ice hockey team. HPK Liiga Oy's CEO Kaj Källarsson represents HPK in the company as a board member.

"HPK's role in the company is to be an enabler. We open doors for companies needing local, first-class personnel services, and we believe our extensive partner network provides good growth potential for Armstrong HML Oy. We have talked about the change that needs to be achieved, and we are seeking growth beyond the ice arena. When Armstrong proposed a joint business venture, we felt that with a reasonable investment, we could enter into a promising business that develops local vitality. When the community we operate in thrives, HPK also thrives," says Källarsson.
