SWECO ACQUIRES WATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANCY IN POLAND

Sweco has acquired the Polish consultancy Hydroprojekt Kraków with 35 employees.
The acquisition is a first step in Sweco's establishment in Poland.

Hydroprojekt Kraków has more than 50 years of experience in providing qualified
consulting engineering services for hydraulic engineering and water resource
management. Sweco has previously collaborated with Hydroprojekt Kraków, which
has an excellent reputation on the Polish consultancy market.

”Poland is perhaps one of the most interesting countries in Eastern Europe, with
a healthy macroeconomy and strong anticipated growth in the environmental,
infrastructure and energy segments. The acquisition of Hydroprojekt Kraków is a
strategically important step and the start of a more large-scale establishment
in the country,” says Mats Wäppling, President and CEO of Sweco.

Hydroprojekt Kraków will be part of Sweco's Central and Eastern Europe business
unit.
