ÅF is acquiring Vatten & Miljöbyrån, who provides consultancy services to
Sweden's municipal water and sewerage industry. For ÅF the acquisition will mean
the establishment of a comprehensive Environment and Water offering.
Urbanisation, climate change, stricter quality requirements and access to clean
water are factors behind the increasing level of demand for engineering services
in the field of water and sewerage. The acquisition of Vatten & Miljöbyrån gives
ÅF a platform to develop and strengthen a comprehensive offering, since it
complements ÅF's existing skills and services in this area.
"We're delighted to welcome Vatten & Miljöbyrån to ÅF. Water supply is an
essential service and sustainable solutions that satisfy today's high standards
for availability, quality and environmental consideration are in high demand
among our clients," said ÅF's President and CEO, Jonas Wiström.
Vatten & Miljöbyrån's core expertise includes drinking water supply and safety,
water treatment and distribution and waste management, along with practical and
theoretical work at all stages in the field of water and sewerage. Through the
acquisition, ÅF will gain 24 new colleagues based in northern Sweden, bringing
the total number of employees in the Environment business area to around 110.
"We're looking forward to being part of ÅF. ÅF's wide-ranging capabilities will
enable us to take on assignments that span several areas of engineering, develop
by learning from each other and offer our clients multiple services from a
single supplier," said Robert Jönsson, owner and CEO of Vatten & Miljöbyrån.
Vatten & Miljöbyrån has annual sales of SEK 30 million and the company will be
consolidated as of 1 February 2017.
