Delete Group, a leading Finnish environmental services company, will expand to Sweden through a merger with Sanvac Miljö Ab, an Umeå-based industrial cleaning company. Over the past years, Sanvac’s owner Leif Danielsson has made Sanvac a well-known, trusted operator in Northern Sweden. Following the merger with Delete Group, Mr. Danielsson will become a head of Delete Group’s Swedish operations. He will also continue in his current management role with Sanvac Miljö.
– Delete Group has grown impressively in Finland. I believe that joining Delete opens up an opportunity to grow in Sweden, says Mr. Danielsson.
– The merger with Sanvac Miljö supports the growth strategy of Delete and complements our service offering, comments Jussi Niemelä, CEO of Delete Group.
– Sanvac Miljö is a professionally-run company that serves its customers with modern equipment and excellent know-how. The merger opens up opportunities for cross-border co-operation in industrial cleaning and other environmental services. This co-operation will help us to respond to growing needs of our clients, Niemelä says.
Following the merger, Delete Group’s turnover will approach 80 million euros. The combined entity employs close to 650 environmental services professionals.
