The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority has on 18 November 2025 approved the completion of the acquisition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The acquisition will increase Sweco&#8217;s organisation by around 400 employees and strengthen Sweco&#8217;s position as an expert in consulting, engineering as well as project and construction management, especially in energy and industrial sectors. For Fimpec, the acquisition enables the further development and growth of its business and key areas of expertise as part of a multidisciplinary and stable company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is great to be able to welcome Fimpec&#8217;s experts to Sweco. Together, we can offer our clients first-class project execution and design expertise as well as comprehensive services for the implementation of even the most demanding projects,&#8221; says <strong>Thomas Hietto<\/strong>, CEO of Sweco Finland.<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition will be completed at the beginning of December, when the Fimpec companies will be transferred to Sweco&#8217;s ownership in their current form. Contracts and projects will continue as before, and the acquisition will not cause any action to clients. According to current estimates, the merger of Fimpec companies with Sweco will take place during spring 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"buttons-wrapper buttons-wrapper--left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweco.fi\/en\/insight\/press-releases\/sweco-has-signed-an-agreement-to-acquire-fimpec-group\/\"  class=\"btn btn__primary \">Press release Oct 7, 2025: Sweco has signed an agreement to acquire Fimpec Group<\/a><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block__inner cb__inner cb__inner--one\">\n\t<div class=\"col--12 col--center col--wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col col--6 editor-content\">\n\t\t\t<p><strong>For additional information, please contact:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Thomas Hietto, CEO, Sweco Finland, tel. +358 40 047 4093, thomas.hietto@sweco.fi<br \/>\nSanna Huopio, Communications Director, Sweco Finland, tel. +358 50 302 8898, sanna.huopio@sweco.fi<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n    <section class=\"block block--white related-content\" >\n        <div class=\"block__inner related-content__inner\">\n            <div class=\"col--11 col--wrapper col--start col--stretch col--bottom no-img\">\n                \n                                    <div class=\"col col--3 item \">\n\n                        \n                                                    <a class=\"item__content item__link editor-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweco.fi\/en\/insight\/press-releases\/sweco-has-signed-an-agreement-to-acquire-fimpec-group\/\"  aria-label=\"Sweco has signed an agreement to acquire Fimpec Group\">\n                                                                <div class=\"item__content--wrapper\">\n                                    <h4 class=\"h5 hyphenate\">Sweco has signed an agreement to acquire Fimpec Group<\/h4>                                    <span class=\"btn btn__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                        <i class=\"icon icon-arrow-right\"><\/i>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"col col--3 item \">\n\n                        \n                                                    <a class=\"item__content item__link editor-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweco.fi\/en\/services\/industry\/\"  aria-label=\"Industry and energy transition services at Sweco\">\n                                                                <div class=\"item__content--wrapper\">\n                                    <h4 class=\"h5 hyphenate\">Industry and energy transition services at Sweco<\/h4>                                    <span class=\"btn btn__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                        <i class=\"icon icon-arrow-right\"><\/i>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"col col--3 item \">\n\n                        \n                                                    <a class=\"item__content item__link editor-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweco.fi\/en\/project-management-and-construction-services\/\"  aria-label=\"Project management services at Sweco\">\n                                                                <div class=\"item__content--wrapper\">\n                                    <h4 class=\"h5 hyphenate\">Project management services at Sweco<\/h4>                                    <span class=\"btn btn__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                        <i class=\"icon icon-arrow-right\"><\/i>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"col col--3 item \">\n\n                        \n                                                    <a class=\"item__content item__link editor-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweco.fi\/en\/insight\/\"  aria-label=\"Topical at Sweco\">\n                                                                <div class=\"item__content--wrapper\">\n                                    <h4 class=\"h5 hyphenate\">Topical at Sweco<\/h4>                                    <span class=\"btn btn__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                        <i class=\"icon icon-arrow-right\"><\/i>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n                \n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the beginning of October, Sweco signed an agreement to acquire Fimpec Group.
