The two-year EUR 35 million agreement with the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) will involve the design and construction of masts in Arboga, central Sweden, where Eltel has well-established operations. The contract has an optional extension for an additional five years.
“The agreement means that Eltel will become a national supplier of masts and towers to the Swedish Armed Forces,” says Lars Nilsson, CEO Eltel Sweden. “We thereby also increase our commitment to the Swedish Armed Forces and strengthen our position as a leading player in critical infrastructure.”
Building on long-term expertise in masts and towers
“Winning this contract will help us retain our expertise in the design, strength calculation and delivery of masts and towers, and it will increase our competitiveness in the market in this segment,” says Kalle Tholin, Head of Department at Eltel in Arboga. “We will thus have a stable platform with government customers who think long-term.”
Eltel is a long-term partner of FMV. Initially, Eltel was contracted to provide maintenance services for masts and towers, but this has since been expanded to include installation and contracting services for FMV’s air wings and garrisons.
