The number of employees now exceeds 1200 and the annual turnover increases to approximately SEK 2,3 billion. Through the acquisition, XPartners strengthens its overall offering with specialist services within infrastructure.

"We are extremely happy to welcome Centerpoint to XPartners. Their broad service offering and expertise strengthen the group's offering and market position. Centerpoint becoming the largest company in the group is not only an important milestone, but also an opportunity to offer even better and more comprehensive solutions to our customers throughout the Nordics." says Sonny Mirborn, CEO of XPartners.

Centerpoint is a well-known Norwegian consulting company that specializes in consulting services in energy, transport, infrastructure and construction. The company works with both national and international development projects and offers services in, among other things, project management, construction management, technical advice, system development and IT solutions.

"Becoming part of XPartners is a fantastic opportunity for Centerpoint. We look forward to contributing with our experience and expertise, while at the same time it gives us the conditions to develop and grow as a company. Our primary focus will continue to be delivering high quality and creating added value for our customers," says Jakob Grova, CEO at Centerpoint.

Since spring 2021, XPartners has worked to develop a platform for community development, where different companies and specialists collaborate to create greater synergies in the work towards a more sustainable society. The business model is based on value creation through collaboration and entrepreneurship, where each company continues to operate under its existing brand but benefits from the advantages of being part of a larger group.

"The partnership between Centerpoint and XPartners is in line with our long-term vision to become a leading consulting platform in the Nordics and Europe, with a focus on creating a more sustainable society. We look forward to achieving new successes together and are excited to take this significant step into the Norwegian market.” says Sonny Mirborn
