Sweco acquires Axro Consult and strengthens position in healthcare
sector

Sweco has acquired the consulting engineering firm of Axro Consult AB
with 35 employees. Axro has cutting-edge expertise in building service
systems for the healthcare sector and a customer list that includes some
20 different hospitals. Axro has offices in Gothenburg, Jönköping and
Skövde, and the acquisition will establish Sweco with a new office in
Skövde.

“Sweco's healthcare assignments have increased continuously. At the
moment we are working on projects such as the New Karolinska University
Hospital in Solna and Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg.
Axro's healthcare expertise will further enhance Sweco's competitiveness
and will also expand our geographical presence with a new office in
Skövde,” says Eva Nygren, President of Sweco Sweden.

“By becoming part of Sweco we can offer both our customers and employees
a wider range of competencies and the capacity to take on larger
assignments. It feels like a step in the right direction,” says Anders
Walter, President of Axro Consult.

Sweco has collaborated with Axro for many years. As early as 1958 the
two companies started a joint project at Volvo's new automobile factory
in Torslanda, a partnership that lasted until 1989.

Following the acquisition, Sweco will have offices at 50 locations in
Sweden.
