Attendo operates its LSS operations under the Unika brand, which was launched in September 2024 after the merger with Team Olivia. With the acquisition of Främja, Unika's offering is complemented by serviced housing within LSS in, among other places, the growing metropolitan regions of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Uppsala in attractive, central locations. Främja also conducts daily operations within LSS in Stockholm.

"Through the acquisition of Främja, we are growing our LSS business with a well-functioning and purpose-driven operation that shares our values ​​of empowering every individual. The municipalities' need for help is increasing when it comes to increasingly complex care needs where there is often a lack of local niche expertise and resources. As our business grows, we have the opportunity to invest more in both expertise and method development, which creates value for both the person in need of care and our municipal customers," says Martin Tivéus, President and CEO, Attendo.

"I am proud that we have received this trust, which means that we are now facing the future together with Främja. We welcome our new colleagues, and look forward to building on our shared strengths and experiences to empower the individual to be the main character in their own lives," says Emelie Mossberg, Segment Manager for LSS in Attendo Scandinavia, and responsible for Unika.

The deal does not include Främja's Norwegian operations and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.
