DUROC ACCELERATES ACQUISITION PACE – ACQUIRES FOUR COMPANIES
Duroc has today entered into agreements to acquire all shares in Polyproject Environment AB, Thors Trading AB, Hydrostandard Mätteknik Nordic AB and Optyma Security Solutions Limited.
The acquired companies’ combined net sales for the 2025 calendar year amounted to SEK 240 million and adjusted operating profit to SEK 25 million. The financial information is based on unaudited figures. The total number of employees amounts to 132, and the purchase price for the businesses amounts to SEK 121 million on a cash- and debt-free basis.
Through these acquisitions, Duroc is strengthened by four units that are expected to contribute stable profitability and strong earnings development going forward.
Polyproject Environment manufactures components for industry and municipalities for water and air purification. Operations are conducted with 41 employees in Kolmården and Klippan. Thors Trading manufactures and supplies products for equestrian and motorsport applications. The company operates in Västerås with 11 employees. Hydrostandard Mätteknik Nordic performs inspection, verification and replacement of meters for water, heating, electricity and gas. Operations are based in Borlänge with 49 employees. Optyma Security Solutions Limited provides complete security solutions for public environments and infrastructure. The company is based in Bexleyheath, United Kingdom, with 31 employees.
The acquisition is financed through a loan on market terms. The purchase price will be settled in cash at closing. Following completion of the acquisition, the Group’s net debt (excluding lease liabilities) is expected to remain at a low level.
“The divestment of Asota was the first major step in rebalancing the Group’s portfolio. These acquisitions mean that Duroc is now accelerating the transformation of the Group’s composition. Through financial independence and a patient approach, we have succeeded in realising significant value from the assets within the underperforming Polymer segment in order to invest in new, well-managed and profitable units. We will continue to work just as patiently to realise the remaining value from the Polymer companies while at the same time focusing on new acquisitions, and I look forward to the continued development as the new Duroc takes shape,” says John Häger, CEO of Duroc.
At a later stage, Duroc will provide further information on how the acquired companies will be followed up within the Group. Closing is expected to take place in March 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
