The company also does business in Norway, the Baltic countries and Poland.

Byggnadstekniska

Sitowise will become an excellent new owner and strong partner for continued growth and further development of our service offering. We share the same view on growth opportunities and the importance of a local presence, high level of competence and quality in our business.

Erik Löb, CEO, Byggnadstekniska Byrån
Byggnadstekniska

Byggnadstekniska Byrån is a strong brand with knowledgeable employees and a long history of strong customer relationships, which makes the company a perfect partner for Sitowise’s strategic expansion in the Nordics. The acquisition offers new and significant possibilities for both companies to grow and expand the service offering in Sweden.

Pekka Eloholma, CEO, Sitowise

BTB is an expanding company with top-level expertise which has resulted in a market leading position in Sweden. There’s been widespread consolidation in the sector, and as one of only a few large independent companies in its niche, the case generated broad interest in the market. With Sitowise as new owners, the company will retain its strong identity at the same time as a new owner will continue the company's expansion.
