Sweco acquires industrial consultant PROWS
Sweco has acquired PROWS AB, Industriell Process och VVS, with 25 employees. The company is a provider of consulting engineering services for clients primarily in the industrial and health care sectors. The company has offices in Örebro, Karlskoga and Uppsala.
"The acquisition will strengthen Sweco’s offering to industrial clients in central Sweden. Like Sweco, PROWS is also advanced in the use of efficient 3D tools for visualisation and design," says Lars-Göran Sporre, President of Sweco’s industrial consultants in Sweden.
PROWS was established in 1992 and works with technical advisory services. The majority of the company’s clients are found in Swedish industrial companies. PROWS will complement Sweco's already strong expertise in industrial engineering, among other things in the areas of process engineering, piping design, electrical and instrumentation engineering, HVAC and plumbing and industrial ventilation.
"As part of Sweco we will be able to offer our clients a wider range of services. Sweco also has a strong brand and an attractive workplace that can give our employees new opportunities for development," says Kjell Andersson, Managing Director of PROWS.
PROWS is Sweco’s seventh acquisition since the start of the year. During the period, Sweco has acquired companies with a total of more than 400 employees in Russia, Poland, Norway and Sweden.
