Sweco takes next step in Poland

- Acquires consulting company in Kraków with 155 employees

Sweco has acquired the Polish engineering consultancy Transprojekt
Kraków, one of the country's leading providers of consulting engineering
services in the infrastructure area. The acquisition is the second in
Poland in a short span of time, and Sweco now has around 190 consultants
in the country.

The acquisition represents another step in Sweco's strategic initiative
to grow in Central and Eastern Europe.

“Through Transprojekt Kraków we will strengthen our position in a
country with one of Europe's fastest-growing economies and strong
anticipated demand for our services in the infrastructure, energy and
environmental segments. The aim of the acquisition is to create a
competitive platform for continued expansion in Poland,” says Mats
Wäppling, CEO of Sweco.

Transprojekt Kraków, with offices in Kraków, Katowice and Jaroslaw,
offers consulting services mainly in the transport sector. Among other
things, the company is planning important parts of the new A1 and A4
motorways and related sub-sections. The A4 runs through southern Poland
and is one of the country's largest infrastructure investments.

“Sweco is already among the leading water and environmental
consultancies in Central and Eastern Europe. Now we are further
advancing our position in the infrastructure area where we see good
long-term demand for our services, among other things in connection with
modernisation of the road and railway network,” says Mats Wäppling.

Earlier this year Sweco acquired the Polish consulting company
Hydroprojekt Kraków, a provider of qualified consulting engineering
services for hydraulic engineering and water resource management.
