About us
History
VALA Group Oy was founded in Helsinki in 2008. From the beginning, VALA has been a quality house. First we naturally did what paid the bills, but very soon we focused on software testing and test automation and gradually towards all encompassing software quality. In 2025, VALA offers all software quality services. We work according to DevOps principles and using AI where appropriate.
In the spring of 2026 there’s over 150 of us but we still feel that culture wise we are a small company. VALA is a self directed organization with no supervisors. We make important decisions together and everyone can affect them if they want to.
Happiness
We began our happiness journey already back in 2015 and there’s no sign of slowing down. However, nowadays we know that seeking for absolute happiness can not be the end goal. Instead, we want to provide the means for VALA people to create their own happiness, if they want to.

Customers
Our customers range from small companies to publicly listed companies, however, recently the focus has shifted more and more towards the latter. In terms of industries, we don’t have any strict preferences because quality is needed everywhere where software is built and nowadays that means almost all industries. During the years we’ve accumulated most experience in the fields of telecommunication, electronics, finance, manufacturing and medical.
Siili Solutions
Siili Solutions owns over 90% of VALA while the rest of the shares are owned by VALA employees. VALA operates as an autonomous portfolio company of Siili, making its own business decisions. Concurrently, VALA and Siili have tight collaboration in many areas like sales, marketing and internationalisation. This combined with many mutual customers, ensures that our partnership will bring great benefits to all parties, in the future too.
