PrintNIRAS is growing expansively in Sweden
On Wednesday, 10 June, NIRAS signed an agreement on the acquisition of TP
Group, a Swedish company with more than 100 employees. TP Group has offices
in four Swedish towns, in Finland and in Estonia. TP Group specialises in
project and construction management and consultancy for builders, developers
and professional leaseholders. TP Group will be organised into an
independent division within NIRAS.
With effect from 1 July 2008, TP Group will become a part of NIRAS Group AS
and it is our vision to work together to create a new and exciting
consultancy firm in the Baltic region. This extra strength in Sweden,
Finland and Estonia will provide us with a powerful base in the countries
bordering the Baltic Sea and means that we will become the market leader in
a number of our areas of competence.
Both parties will be strengthened
When NIRAS welcomes a new member to its family, it is essential that the
new situation is of clear benefit to both parties. In this case,
NIRAS’ presence in Sweden, Finland and the Baltic countries will be
strengthened significantly and we will acquire several core competences and
experience in some of the business areas we wish to develop.
TP Group specialises in more commercial and strategic consultancy aimed at
the construction industry and, therefore, paves the way for us to supply
new customers with our existing competences. Further, it enables us to
raise the level of our consultancy on the value chain. TP Group will gain a
strong and reliable owner and, thus, the potential to develop and expand
their business and development plans.
NIRAS' core competences in the fields of, e.g., the environment, indoor
climate and fire safety engineering will provide TP Group with a broad
range of products that have been requested by their customers.
Together, we will be able to exploit completely new market opportunities in
Denmark and Poland.

Business as usual
The merger will not result in any organisational changes. TP Group will
continue to follow its current business plan, the management team will
remain in place and all employees will retain their current
positions.
As mentioned, TP Group will become an independent division within
NIRAS. Therefore, TP Group’s managing director, Jan Leife, will
become a member of NIRAS’ executive committee and the chairman of TP
Group’s board of directors, Bo Sundberg, will join NIRAS’ board of
directors.
