Munters and TryggHansa sign agreement on water damage restoration in Sweden

Munters subsidiary, Munters Torkteknik AB, has recently signed an exclusive agreement with the insurance company TryggHansa. The agreement covers the handling of all of TryggHansas water damage claims in Sweden.

Munters Torkteknik AB (MTT) is a market leader in Sweden within water- and fire damage restoration, with services also for construction drying, leak detection and moisture surveys. Quickly drying instead of tearing down and rebuilding after water damages result in substantial savings for the insurance companies. TryggHansa has chosen MTT as its sole supplier in Sweden for water damage restoration services.

“It is the first time a Swedish insurance company takes such a clear step in making management of water damages more efficient. It is in line with the trend we have seen in many countries in Europe, where the insurance industry is streamlining and simplifying the purchase and management of water damages”, says Lars Kåredal Managing Director of MTT.

“We have been working for a long time with developing and coordinating the methods and the documentation used in our property damage restoration. It enables us to keep a consistent quality of the work we do all over the country. We are available round the clock every day of the year in 30 places in Sweden. That results in fast action in case of emergency, which is key when it comes to limiting damages caused by water”, Lars concludes.
