Uniwater acquires Water Engineering AB
Uniwater has entered into an agreement to acquire Water Engineering, a Swedish engineering consulting company with cutting-edge expertise in process design, planning and project management for drinking water and wastewater treatment plants. The acquisition strengthens Uniwater's offering in water infrastructure and water treatment and contributes to increased capacity and specialist expertise within the group.
Water Engineering AB is a well-established consulting company based in the Stockholm region (Mälardalen). The company is a specialist in water and wastewater and process technology and is currently working on several major projects in critical water infrastructure. The company has shown strong growth in recent years.
– Through the acquisition of Water Engineering, we strengthen our ability to carry out water and wastewater projects. The company brings deep technical expertise, strong project management capabilities and a strong network. They complement our existing companies very well, says Olof Nordin, Business Area Manager for Uniwater Treatment.
Water Engineering was founded in 2019 and offers technical consulting services in areas such as project planning, project management, technical investigations and contract inspections of water and wastewater facilities. The company currently has eight employees and has built up a strong reputation with both municipal and industrial customers. Water Engineering carries out projects throughout Sweden but has had a concentration of assignments in Mälardalen and northern Sweden.
– Uniwater is a strong partner and I look forward to taking the company forward with this group. We share the same view of quality, long-term thinking and the importance of building water infrastructure. Together, we become stronger, and can take on larger and more complex assignments, while at the same time we can continue to develop our specialist knowledge, says Petter Björkman, CEO and founder of Water Engineering.
