We assisted the Swedish-based company Storskogen in acquiring a majority of the shares in Scandia Steel – a leading Scandinavian supplier of steel pipe piles in foundation and foundation reinforcements.
Manufacturing takes place in Kretinga, Lithuania
Scandia Steel has 94 employees and a turnover of almost EUR 40 million. The company’s product development and sales are managed from the head office in Stockholm, while manufacturing and product testing take place in Kretinga, Lithuania.
