Indutrade acquires Geotech – Swedish specialist in geotechnical field equipment
Geotech develop, manufacture and sell equipment for geotechnical investigations. The offering consists of specialised drilling rigs, i.e., crawler penetrometers, as well as geotechnical instruments and field equipment, complemented by aftermarket services where the company offers repair and maintenance, spare parts and calibration services. The end customers for the drilling rigs are primarily engineering consulting companies active mainly in the Nordics. For geotechnical instruments and field equipment the market is international.
Geotech was founded in 1970, has 44 employees, and is located in Mölndal, Sweden. The acquisition complements the Indutrade company Geomek, who offers solutions, products and services in geotechnical surveying and the foundation drilling industry.
The closing takes place today and Geotech will be included in Indutrade's Business Area Industrial Components. The acquisition is Indutrade's 14th in 2022 and is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Indutrade's earnings per share.
