The acquired operations in Finnish FMC Group are showing favourable development and contributing to improved performance for Sweco in terms of both growth and profitability. Sweco's Finnish units are increasingly working in joint assignments.
Demand for Sweco's services was good during the quarter. However, the financial turbulence in the Eurozone is also starting to affect market forecasts for the Nordic region and there is greater likelihood of a downturn in certain segments.
There are powerful drivers that are boosting long-term demand for consulting engineering services. These are related to urbanisation and rising living standards, which are among other things contributing to a need for infrastructure, industrial production, energy production and construction. At the same time, there are increasingly stringent requirements for sustainable development of society and adaptation to climate change. This is stimulating demand for services in areas like energy efficiency, environmental impact assessments, renewable energy solutions, effective traffic planning, water supply, wastewater treatment and soil/site remediation.
