As of February 20, 2019, Broviken Gruppen AB has acquired 60% of the IT consultancy firm Data Ductus Holding AB. The company's management and other operational co-owners retain a 40% ownership stake.
Data Ductus currently has more than 240 employees active within software development, automation, and systems integration for clients primarily in telecoms, the public sector, and manufacturing. The company, founded in 1989, is headquartered in Skellefteå and has regional offices in Kiruna, Luleå, Uppsala, Stockholm, and Malmö. The company also has subsidiaries and personnel in the US and Asia. Operations will continue under the same strategic focus as before and under the same brand.
"Data Ductus has an impressive track record of profitable growth, and we look forward to supporting the company in further strengthening its offerings and continuing its steady development of expertise and operations," says Per Granath, CEO of Broviken. "Data Ductus is a company with a strong core values base and long-standing client relationships, which we consider key success factors for sustainable growth and profitability."
Stefan Lundström, CEO of Data Ductus, comments: "Bringing in a long-term and financially strong owner provides us with a solid foundation to continue expanding and strengthening our offerings for both the Swedish and global markets. At the same time, the existing active co-owners remain in place and continue to be engaged in the business. The best of both worlds."
