The technology consulting group XPartners Samhällsbyggnad AB (“XPartners”) is expanding the group with a new company B& B Bro & Betong Projektledning AB (“Bro & Betong”) on November 14, 2023, and with this expansion will have approximately 440 employees. With this deal, we strengthen the XPartners group both in terms of competence and resources, and our range of services is broadened within infrastructure and urban development. The group will have a turnover of approx. SEK 670m and all companies work actively with sustainability, which will further strengthen XPartners as a group in the area.

Since spring 2021, the XPartners group has been working to create a nationwide multidisciplinary community building platform where different companies, skills, people and cultures collaborate for higher exchange in their work with the transition to a more sustainable society. The business model is based on value creation through collaboration and entrepreneurship, where each company preserves its own identity, but benefits from the advantages that group affiliation provides. The owners of the companies that join become part-owners of XPartners together with the largest owner, which is the Nordic private equity company Axcel, and they continue the ongoing operational work of their own company under their own brand. Through our domain knowledge, digital understanding and commitment to sustainability, we will help make Sweden a leading country in the environment, social construction and infrastructure.

Olle Bertfelt, XPartners CEO, says: “It is with pleasure that we welcome Bro & Betong to the XPartners family. I feel proud of the collaboration platform we built in a short time, and all the talented entrepreneurs who have since joined us. It has been especially fun to see the interaction between the companies spontaneously develop and lead to more and better business. With this new company in the group, we continue our growth journey, which is completely in line with the XPartners group’s long-term strategy to become a significant consultancy with a strong focus on sustainability.

Together, we can accelerate and develop what both customers, industry and society need, and also contribute to long-term development for our employees.”

The technology consulting group XPartners Samhällsbyggnad AB (“XPartners”) expanded the group with three new companies on April 27, 2023, and with this expansion will be represented throughout Sweden, from north to south, with approximately 400 employees. With this deal, we strengthen the XPartners group both in terms of competence and resources, and our range of services is broadened within infrastructure and electrical planning. The group will have a turnover of approx. SEK 600m and all companies work actively with sustainability, which will further strengthen XPartners as a group in the area.

Since the spring of 2021, the XPartners group has worked to create a nationwide multidisciplinary community building platform where different companies, skills, people and cultures collaborate for higher exchange in their work with the transition to a more sustainable society. The business model is based on value creation through collaboration and entrepreneurship, where each company preserves its own identity, but benefits from the advantages that group affiliation provides. The owners of the joining companies become part-owners in XPartners together with the Nordic private equity company Axcel (which takes over as a new main owner in XPartners in connection with the transactions, together with former main owner Evolver), and continue the ongoing operational work in their own companies during their own brands.

Together, we can accelerate and develop what both customers, industry and society need, and also contribute to long-term development for our employees.”

Peter Lindstrom, Partner at Evolver, says: “Evolver’s vision is that every company we get involved in should reach its true potential. When XPartners is now structurally and volume-wise entering a new phase of its growth journey, the time is right to also adapt the ownership structure and give the company optimal conditions for the future. We are therefore very happy to switch over the main ownership to Axcel and continue our involvement from a minority position.”
