Thanks to long-term customer relationships, the industry's best customer satisfaction, a strong culture with fantastic employees and the rapid digitalisation, Advania has grown more than 20% annually for the past 5 years. The company is now continuing its growth journey by acquiring Norrland-based Hi5. The investment in Norrland creates new opportunities to provide service to customers with a geographically dispersed business.

"The combination of Hi5 and Advania gives our customers access to more innovative solutions and more expertise, regardless of whether they have operations throughout Sweden or locally here in Umeå or Luleå. In addition, we can offer our employees far more opportunities for development in the future."

The Hi5 business will be kept together as an organizational unit also in the future, under the continued leadership of Niklas Tiger.
