In 2023, turnover amounted to SEK 765mn, with good profitability. With positive market conditions driven by increased outsourcing, digitization, and accelerated energy transition, Vinnergi is in a favorable position for future growth.

Pierre and his team at Vinnergi have done an amazing job in establishing Vinnergi as an innovative new player in the market for engineering solutions, serving customers within telecoms, energy and real estate who are facing both challenges and opportunities driven by trends such as digitalization, sustainability, and security. We are convinced that the new partnership with Polaris will enable Vinnergi to capitalize on a multitude of opportunities as the company continues to grow and further expand its capabilities.”
