Eltel’s Swedish Aviation and Security business will be merged into the new business unit Sweden

Eltel has decided to retain the Swedish Aviation and Security business (Aviation and Security), which previously was planned to be divested. The operations will instead be integrated with business unit Sweden.

In 2016 net sales in Aviation & Security amounted to approximately EUR 32 million. The business continues to show strong performance, while the indicative offers that have been received don't fully reflect the high and consistent profitability. The decision is furthermore supported by the introduction of the country and market driven organization effective February 15th 2018, which creates clear governance, management attention and support to Aviation and Security from the Swedish organization.
