Life Cycle Partners – your lifecycle partner for industrial piping
.png){kind=logo}
This family-owned company specializing in industrial piping got off to a strong start when it received its first order from Woikoski Oy for piping and equipment installations at a carbon dioxide plant.
LC Partners stands for Life Cycle Partners. True to our name, our relationship with customers doesn’t end when a project is completed—we aim to be a long-term partner throughout the entire lifecycle of industrial piping.
From startup to a multi-million business
For Markus Sorvoja from Kokkola, entrepreneurship was a long-term goal. Before founding the company, he gained years of experience as a project engineer and built strong industry networks.
The opportunity came in late 2005, when he learned about Woikoski’s CO₂ plant project in Kokkola. He reached out—and negotiations moved quickly. He had just one weekend to prepare the offer, and the execution timeline was equally tight.
“The plant needed to be operational within the same year. With precise planning and tracking, we achieved it—on New Year’s Eve at 16:15, the plant was producing CO₂ as scheduled.”
Initially, there were no permanent employees—the project was delivered with subcontractors. Today, the company employs around 50 professionals.
Growth has been steady:
“We’ve grown into a strong, local family business built on trust and long-term customer relationships.”

Our values in practice
From the beginning, honesty and transparency have been core principles. As a local partner, trust is built through actions—and reputation spreads quickly.
We communicate openly, keep our promises, and inform customers of changes early. This is reflected in project transparency: if scope changes, it is discussed immediately. Any additional work is clearly justified and agreed upon together.
Ultimately, success comes down to people:
“Our employees enjoy their work, and the atmosphere is good. We’ve always wanted to build a workplace where people take pride in what they do—and that shows directly in the quality our customers receive.”
