SYSTRA has reached an agreement with Atkins, part of the SNC-Lavalin Group, to
acquire its Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian engineering businesses, which
specialise in infrastructure design and project management consultancy, as well
as its rail verification services in Denmark.

With 770 experts working in 12 offices, including 7 in Sweden, 4 in Denmark and
1 in Norway, these teams have established themselves as key players in the field
of infrastructure and consultancy. Once completed, these acquisitions will mark
a major step forward for SYSTRA’s development in Nordic countries, where the
Group already employs 300 staff.

This strategic reinforcement will enable SYSTRA to respond more effectively to
the major projects undertaken in these countries and to offer its clients a
wider range of services.

Johannes Erlandsson, Managing Director Atkins Sweden; Arnaud Jeudy, CFO of
SYSTRA, and Magnus Eriksson, Managing Director Atkins Norway.

Pierre Verzat, CEO of SYSTRA, said: “We are delighted to welcome these new
expert teams to SYSTRA. These acquisitions are in line with our growth strategy
in Europe and strongly confirm our presence in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, where
governments are investing massively in transport infrastructure, particularly
railways. Together, we will be able to contribute to major sustainable mobility
and resilient infrastructure projects in the region.”

The SYSTRA Group has been present in the Nordic countries for over 10 years, and
has been involved in numerous projects and emblematic ongoing projects such as :
in Denmark, the Copenhagen automatic metro since 2007, the electrification of
the entire Danish rail network since 2013, and the automation of the S-STOG
suburban trains since 2021; in Sweden, the Ostlänken high-speed line since 2015,
the Uppsala tramway since 2021 and the Kolmarden since 2023; and in Norway, the
Follo-Line high-speed line tunnel since 2018, the Vestfold Nykirke – Barkåker
line since 2019 and the Grenland bridge since 2021.

The acquisitions should be completed in Fall 2023, once administrative
authorisations have been obtained.
