Our history spans more than 130 years and it is best told through our projects and the way we have been transforming society together with our clients. Today, this heritage underpins Sweco’s role as Europe’s leading architecture and engineering consultancy.

Our expertise and offer have constantly evolved to meet the demands of the present and the future. By combining different skills and perspectives, we can achieve the most innovative and sustainable solutions together with our clients. This long‑standing way of working continues today through the Sweco Model, combining decentralised entrepreneurship with collaboration across disciplines.

Sweco’s strength is grounded in the collaboration between experts – thousands of professionals with different skills and backgrounds who are connected across disciplines, client projects and borders. From the big picture to the smallest details, we combine our skills and perspectives to learn from each other and grow as one team.

Strategy for long-range growth

The business is operated in eight geographical business areas covering around 15 markets in Europe as well as project exports to many countries throughout the world. The strategy is to grow through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth. Over the past 20 years, Sweco has completed close to 170 acquisitions, which have broadened its offering and strengthened its market position. The company has posted an annual growth rate of 11.8 per cent (CAGR) over the same period, reflecting stable demand for Sweco’s services.

Client focus in a decentralised organisation

Sweco’s decentralised organisation is the cornerstone of the company’s operating model. Around 1,700 local teams are responsible for their own client relationships, projects and employees. This is a client-focused, efficient working method that has been crucial to Sweco’s success over the years
