Combitech, a subsidiary of defence and security company Saab, is growing with
the acquisition of consulting firm Sörman Information AB. The acquisition

company's existing and prospective customers.

Saab Group, has signed an agreement to acquire Sörman Intressenter AB, parent
company of Sörman Information AB (Sörman) – a consulting firm that provides
services and solutions within qualified technical information management.

The acquisition is part of Combitech's strategy to expand its range of services
and grow in the Nordic consultancy market. Following the acquisition of Sörman,
Combitech will have an annual turnover of approx. SEK 1.1 billion and 1,100
employees.

increasingly important for many companies and public enterprises. With Sörman's

of customers, market segments and local presence, which will provide economies
of scale with regard to commitments and more complete deliveries," says
