We have advised Savon Kuljetus, the owner of SGM Consulting, a leading provider of measurement and geotechnical investigation services, on the sale of the company to Rejlers, a Stockholm-listed engineering group. 

SGM Consulting delivers base data surveys, geotechnical and environmental investigations, quality assurance and laboratory analyses for infrastructure and construction projects. Serving both public and private sector clients, the company employs approximately 50 specialists and generates annual sales of around €7m with good profitability. 

Rejlers is a leading engineering consultancy with operations in Sweden, Finland, Norway and the UAE. The group employs 3,400 experts across energy, industry, buildings, infrastructure and defence.  

The acquisition of SGM Consulting strengthens Rejlers’ infrastructure operations. By bringing SGM into the group, Rejlers expands its service offering into the early stages of project development and strengthens its position across the full project lifecycle. The acquisition supports Rejlers’ growth strategy and strengthens its ability to create long-term value in the built environment, while contributing to the transition towards a more sustainable society. Together, the companies can deliver more comprehensive and complex projects for clients.

Through the transaction, SGM Consulting gets a new owner who is better positioned to provide wider services to clients. Savon Kuljetus will continue to receive SGM’s high quality services as a client. In the sale process led by Clearwater, we had the opportunity to explore several transaction alternatives and select the best option for both SGM and the seller. The entire transaction process was very well and swiftly executed, and the outcome exceeded our expectations.”

Pekka Kilpimaa, CEO of Savon Kuljetus

We are delighted that, together with our client, we were able to explore alternative transaction routes and execute a transaction with a new owner who can support SGM’s business to flourish even further. We look forward to seeing the company benefit from the ability to offer wider life cycle services.
