The construction group SSEA Group has secured four new contracts in its important geographic regions of Stockholm and Gothenburg in Sweden, of which the largest is worth SEK 800 million and was signed with the municipality of Kungälv in the Gothenburg area. The contract pertains to the development and construction of a new arena area with a swimming facility, two indoor ice rinks, two sports halls and an ice stadium. The total value of all four new contracts is approximately SEK 1.1 billion.
All four projects will be carried out as partnering projects, with SSEA Group involved in the early stages and thus in the development phase.
“SSEA Group has added four excellent projects to its backlog of orders that are entirely in line with our business model and our strategic focus on conducting partnering projects together with our customers. We’re pleased that our customers have entrusted us with these assignments and look forward to many years of rewarding collaboration,” says Christian Johansson Gebauer, Chairman of the Board of SSEA Group and President, Business Area Construction & Services, Ratos.
“I’m very proud that we have secured these four projects. SSEA Group’s employees have put in a lot of work, both ahead of and during the tendering period. Now we’re looking forward to getting started with all four projects and helping our customers to realise the most important priorities of the projects,” says Christian Wieland, CEO, SSEA Group.
