Wavecon AB and Vibroakustik join XPartners
The technology consulting group XPartners Samhällsbyggnad AB (“XPartners”) is expanding the group with two new companies Wavecon AB (“Wavecon”) and Vibroakustik Sverige AB (“Vibroakustik”) on January 16, 2024, and with this expansion will have approximately 550 employees. With this deal, we are strengthening the XPartners group in terms of resources within environmental impact and expanding geographically so that after the deal we are present in all of Sweden. The group will have a turnover of approx. SEK 850m and these companies also work actively with sustainability, which will further strengthen XPartners as a group in the area.
Since spring 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 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 Wavecon and Vibroakustik 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. With Wavecon and Vibroakustik, together with our company KMP, we become a significant player in the field of environmental impact and have the conditions to further strengthen our customer offering. With these new companies 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 consulting player 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.”
Mikael Johansson, Wavecon’s CEO, says: “Our journey has been exciting and eventful in many ways. We want to move forward, we want to offer more genuine, passionate and driven people the opportunity to work with us. Our conviction is that XPartners is absolutely the right way forward. “
Tony Larsson, Vibroakustik’s CEO, says: “Becoming part of XPartners gives us a unique opportunity to expand and develop further.
