Eurocon’s head office is located on classic industrial land in Alfredshem outside Örnsköldsvik. As the business has grown, we have taken over more floors and now fully occupy the classic Nut (whose name derives from its nutlike shape), a ten-storey nut shaped building that has been a famous landmark ever since the MoDo Chemetics era.
In 2020, Eurocon celebrated its 30-year anniversary and ever since its inception has held a proven track record in terms of year-on-year growth in size and profitability. The business has grown from the seven employees who founded Eurocon to today’s approximately 285 staff, and we currently have operations both nationally and internationally.
The company’s growth has been both organic and through acquisitions, of which Automation West (2013), KLT Konsult (2017) and Pidab (2018) are among the largest. The acquisitions, together with a strategy to open new offices, have meant that today we are represented throughout Sweden.
As we have grown, we have also added new industries and new specialist expertise to our organisation. What started with consulting to the forest industry has expanded to new industries in the processing and manufacturing industry, infrastructure, and information systems in several industries.
