Through an established position in the growing market in Upper Norrland, we now have a springboard into this interesting market for all offering  wthin the group, which feels fantastic. AC will be part of the Technology Division in the Group, adding additional strength in the high-security and critical infrastructure segment, an important area to the Group, as well as adding a local presence and good customer contacts in one of Sweden's most important growth regions. ” says Thomas Lundin, President and CEO.
