Magnus Meyer, Managing Director of WSP in the Nordic countries, commented:

"We are pleased to welcome Faveo as a business partner. This transaction, which fits perfectly with our growth strategy, will provide a strong entry-point in the Norwegian market, while strengthening our position in Sweden. It will also position us as a project management leader in Sweden, with more than 1,200 employees specialized in project management services and qualified advisory services."

Knut Jonny Johansen, Managing Director of Faveo, stated:

"Faveo has continuously grown with a focus on employees, clients and high-performance achievements. Becoming a part of WSP will provide us with increased organizational and international strength, thus offering our employees and clients further opportunities."

Earlier this month, WSP had also acquired FLK Sverige AB, a 50-employee Swedish firm specialized in mechanical engineering, and Vicicom AB, a 35-employee firm specialized in the development of broadband and telecommunications networks for municipalities and operators, also based in Sweden. Including the acquisitions of Faveo, FLK and Vicicom, WSP's total workforce in the Nordic countries is now 3,800 people.
