Forenede Service has until now been part of the Forenede Group, a family-owned company with roots in Denmark, which has built a strong presence in Sweden. With dedicated employees, the company delivers high-quality services to both private and public sector clients.

For Northclean, this acquisition provides an opportunity to complement and broaden its service offering within the industry, reach new geographic markets, and create synergies with existing companies in the group. The acquisition brings 1,500 employees and a strong customer base across both public and private sectors, making Northclean one of the leading players in the Swedish market.

Forenede Service has a unique position with its long history and strong presence across large parts of Sweden. We look forward to working together with the Forenede Service team to build on the company’s tradition, while identifying synergies with our other operations. The acquisition strengthens both our scope and our long-term market position.” – Eric Eriksson, Group CEO at Northclean.

It feels very positive that Forenede Service is now becoming part of Northclean. Our core values – responsibility, commitment, and care – align well with Northclean’s ambitions. Northclean is an excellent home for us as a company as well as for our employees, and I look forward to continuing the journey together.” – Marco von Peltzer, CEO at Forenede Service AB.

This is a milestone for Northclean – by welcoming Forenede Service to the family, we are strengthening our capacity and expertise while continuing to invest in business development, sustainability, quality, and our people.” – Jan-Olof Backman, Chairman at Northclean.

Forenede Service will continue to operate as an independent company within Northclean and, as part of the transaction, will undergo a rebranding and name change. In the short term, the focus will be on ensuring continuity for employees and customers during the transition phase, with a clear plan for separation from the previous owner that preserves Forenede Service’s strong service delivery, culture, and values.

The transaction is subject to approval by the competition authority and is expected to close during Q4 2025.
