Hidex Expands Headquarters to Support Continued Growth
May 28, 2025
Hidex is growing, an exciting new extension to its facilities is on track for completion in 2026.
Over the past five years, Hidex has experienced strong and sustained growth, driven by increasing global demand for its high-tech measurement solutions.
"For Hidex, we’re proud to share that the growth is taking tangible steps through the construction of a new building adjacent to its current premises.” Says Managing Director Ville Haaslahti.
A Changing Landscape on Lemminkäisenkatu
The expansion marks the company’s third major milestone in its physical footprint, following the opening of its current headquarters in 2017 and a previous extension completed in 2020.
Construction officially began on May 15th, and the project is already off to a fast start with groundwork well underway. The build is being led by Rakennustoimisto Lunden, our long term partner. Once completed, the new space will house other innovative companies like Pietiko and Servikal, further enriching the collaborative ecosystem within the building.
Details of the Expansion
Over the past eight years, the company’s operations have steadily expanded. The building project, scheduled for completion in June 2026, will add over 3,500 square meters of new space. The new Hidex facilities will include a laboratory, an auditorium, and additional office areas.
One of the primary drivers behind the expansion is the steady growth in Hidex personnel and its evolving space requirements. As a pioneer in the analytical detection industry, Hidex serves customers worldwide. The new extension will enhance our capacity to grow by providing dedicated laboratory facilities for research and development, as well as training areas for customers and distributors.
Early Progress on Site
In the first weeks of construction, professionals have already completed significant groundwork. This includes stripping surface materials, preparing the courtyard foundation, and carrying out pipeline excavation for the geothermal heating system. “This expansion is more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a commitment to Hidex’s deep roots in Turku and its belief in the region’s future. With a thriving life sciences industry and a strong technology infrastructure, the Turku area continues to be an ideal environment for high-tech companies to grow and innovate.” Haaslahti emphasises.
