Sweco has acquired the Lithuanian consulting engineering company Energetikos Linijos with about 30 employees. The company is one of the largest energy consulting firms in Lithuania offering a wide range of services, including design of CHP plants, district heating and biogas plants. The acquisition will strengthen SWECO’s position in the energy sector in Lithuania.

The acquisition is the second in a short time in Central and Eastern Europe. Earlier in July Sweco signed an agreement to acquire the Slovakian water and environmental company Hydrocoop with 20 employees.

Sweco now has more than 6,000 employees, with more than 900 in Central and Eastern Europe.
