Per Aarsleff A/S has entered into an agreement on acquisition of an existing
concrete element factory in Gothenburg in Sweden effective 1 April 2008.
The purpose is to establish pile production with a view to supplying piles to
Aarsleff's own activities as well as to other piling contractors. In the area
there is already a long tradition of using prefabricated reinforced concrete
piles for foundation.
The first supplies have already taken place, and in the coming period the plant
will be extended with a view to increasing the capacity. At the same time,
production equipment will be installed, corresponding to the Aarsleff Group
standard used in existing pile plants in Denmark, Poland and England.
The investments have been included in the already announced expectations for
the investments of the financial year. The earnings impact of the establishment
will not be seen until coming financial years.
