Financial targets and strategy to get there

Predicted continued growth

Financial targets and dividend policy

This is Nordisk Bergteknik

Was there a better way of building modern, sustainable societies? We believed so. We also considered that a more consolidated market for rock and foundation solutions was part of the answer. So, in 2016, Nordisk Bergteknik was born.

Today, we lead the market in Northern Europe for those services, with 23 operative subsidiaries and over one thousand employees. But our history began in the 1960s, when one of our founders Wolgan Karlsson, provided services such as drilling, blasting, and tunnelling. That experience constitutes the core of our business model, enabling us to apply traditional knowledge to find new ways forward.

  • Positive trend in Rock Sweden with improved margins compared to last quarter.
  • Continued low activity in housing construction and tough weather conditions had a negative impact.
  • Completed and initiated activities to restructure and streamline Rock Norway and Foundation Sweden have resulted in a positive outcome.
  • Our previous assessment that there is a significant underlying need for infrastructure investments, as well as an increasing demand for operation and maintenance services in existing transportation networks and other infrastructure, remains unchanged. Additionally, there is a pronounced demand for several of our services as the green transition continues to be realized.
