The availability of qualified personnel and students in our field is the best in Finland, and the international connections from Helsinki are the best possible, both by train and by plane, says Mr. Markku Varis, CEO at FMC Group.
For Sweco, the investment represents an important step towards an ever-stronger position in the Nordic market. Together with FMC Group, Sweco holds a very strong position also in Finland. The companies are complementary in several areas, including structural design and industrial engineering. The merger will also provide excellent opportunities for growth within environmental technology, energy and infrastructure as well as building services.
