The technology consulting group XPartners grows further with Aqvila and M& E Engineering (M& E) joining the group. The number of employees thus increases to over 970 and the total turnover is expected to reach approximately SEK 1.7 billion. Through the acquisitions, XPartners takes the step into the Danish market and broadens its presence in the Nordic region.

"Together with Aqvila and M& E, we can continue to accelerate and develop the solutions that our customers and society need. Through our services, we create the conditions to drive the transition forward and maximize the effect of sustainable initiatives", say Olle Bertfelt, XPartners CEO.

Since the spring of 2021, XPartners has worked to create a nationwide multidisciplinary community building platform where different companies, skills and people collaborate for higher exchange in their work with the transition to a more sustainable society. The business model is based on value creation through collaboration and entrepreneurship, where each company continues to conduct its business under the same brand as it did before, but benefits from the advantages that group membership provides.

"We are very pleased to welcome Aqvila and M& E to the XPartners family. Through these acquisitions, we broaden our offer while at the same time taking the step into the Danish market. The acquisitions are fully in line with our long-term strategy to become a leading consultancy throughout the Nordics." say Olle Bertfelt.

We will continue to focus on delivering outstanding results to our customers and look forward to working with our employees and partners to explore new opportunities and create an even stronger and more successful organization.”, says Morten Johansen, CEO Aqvila.

M& E Engineering was founded in 1998 and has a comprehensive range of expert services in electric power. The company operates in several major projects, including bridge and tunnel construction as well as house building projects.

"We are pleased to continue our success story with a new owner. Together with our new colleagues, we will continue to develop our business and create added value for both our customers and employees. We see great opportunities to grow and strengthen our position in the market together with XPartners, and I am convinced that we are facing an exciting growth journey", says Jan Moller Hansen, CEO M& E Engineering.
