Veidekke ASA: Takes over Swedish contractor
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke has come to an agreement with REKAB Entreprenad AB and their owners
Lemminkäinen to take over REKABs contracting operations in Uppsala effective
from 1 July. The business comprises 17 officials and 30 skilled workers and has
an annual turnover of approx. SEK 150 million.
Uppsala, which is 70 kilometres north of Stockholm, is a very interesting market
for Veidekke, and the takeover entails a desired development of building
operations for Veidekke Bygg Stockholm. At the same time Veidekke Bostad now has
the opportunity to take over an attractive and planned housing property 13,000
m(2) in size with sales beginning in the autumn.
"Through the takeover of REKAB's operations we will strengthen our presence and
expertise in the Uppsala area. The takeover is consistent with Veidekke's
strategy for growth in Sweden, and we warmly welcome the employees to Veidekke,"
says Anders Arfvén, who heads Veidekkes building operations in Sweden.
"With Veidekke as owner, REKAB's operations in Uppsala will get a strong owner
with the capacity to contribute to further growth and development." "We are
excited and enthusiastic at the prospect of joining Veidekke," says Anthony
Norén, REKAB's manager in Uppsala.
