## Ted Söderholm appointed new CEO of Teqt Group


After five years as CEO of Teqt Group, Stefan Lind has decided to retire and step down from his operational role. He will be succeeded by Ted Söderholm.

During Stefan Lind’s five years as CEO, Teqt Group has grown from two companies in Sweden to 50 companies across Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany. This growth has been driven both by acquisitions and by the continued development of the companies within the Group. At the same time, Teqt has continued to develop its decentralised model, in which the companies retain their local entrepreneurship, brands and leadership.

Ted Söderholm has extensive experience in leading and developing companies under different ownership structures. Most recently, he served as Group CEO of Recover Group, which was owned by EQT when he joined in 2023. Prior to that, he was CEO of Green Cargo for just over four years and CEO of DHL Express Sweden for more than eight years.


> “I am joining Teqt that is in a strong position, with 50 companies, extensive expertise and a decentralised model built around local entrepreneurship. I look forward to getting to know the businesses and the people behind them, and to building together on what is already working well. From there, we will jointly define the goals for Teqt’s continued development and create the conditions for continued profitable growth and international expansion,” says Ted Söderholm.


Today, Teqt Group is one of the Nordic region’s largest groups within roofing contracting. Looking ahead, the ambition is to continue its international expansion and attract well-managed companies that want to develop as part of the Group.


> “I am very proud of what we have built together. Above all, I am proud of all the entrepreneurs and employees who have chosen to become part of Teqt and who continue to develop their companies every day. For me, this feels like the right time to hand over. Teqt is in a strong position and is now entering its next phase of development, with continued international expansion and growth. Ted has a very exciting task ahead of him, working together with the companies to set the goals for the coming years and drive Teqt forward,” says Stefan Lind.

## Bernd Laufenberg appointed new Country Manager for Teqt Group in Germany 

 
Teqt Group welcomes Bernd Laufenberg as its new Country Manager in Germany. With more than 25 years of experience in the roofing, waterproofing and solar industry, international business development and M&A, he will play a central role in building Teqt’s German platform and team. 

Bernd has spent most of his career with one of Germany’s leading industrial roofing contractors, where he had full P&L responsibility and worked with international business development across several European markets.  

More recently, Bernd has worked within renewable energy with M&A, primarily identifying, evaluating and integrating companies in the roofing and construction sector. 


> – For me, this is a natural next step. It gives me the opportunity to use my industry experience, M&A background and network to build Teqt’s business in Germany, while also doing something new and continuing to develop, says Bernd Laufenberg. 


A model built on local entrepreneurship 
An important reason why Bernd chose Teqt Group is the Group’s model, where local entrepreneurship is combined with the strength of being part of something bigger. By sharing experience, expertise and resources across the companies, new opportunities are created to develop and grow together. He also highlights Teqt’s open, trust-based and down-to-earth way of working as an important part of his decision. 


> – I see a clear opportunity to combine local entrepreneurship with the structure, capital and long-term perspective that a larger group can offer. 


Focus on profitable long-term growth in Germany 
As Country Manager, an important part of Bernd’s role will be to find the right entrepreneurs and companies to continue building the German business together with. 


> – For me, it is important that business owners who become part of Teqt gain a strong partner, while retaining the identity, people and entrepreneurial spirit that made their company successful.  


We at Teqt Group warmly welcome Bernd and look forward to continuing to build and develop Teqt in Germany together.

**Teqt Group's First Country Meeting in Germany**

Last week, Teqt Group held its first country meeting in Germany, bringing together the leaders of our German companies to get to know each other, exchange experiences, and discuss future opportunities.

For us, meetings like these are an important platform for strengthening the business. It is through dialogue between entrepreneurs that ideas develop into concrete initiatives that create value, both locally and across the group. During the meeting, several opportunities were identified where the companies can complement one another and create new business opportunities together.

At this early stage, the most important objective was to lay the foundation for Teqt Germany by creating engagement, building relationships, and establishing the trust needed to take joint initiatives and drive future development together.

Over the past year, Teqt Group has grown through the addition of several new companies in Germany. What unites them is a strong local presence, deep professional pride, and an entrepreneurial mindset. These are qualities we value highly and want to continue building upon.

When independent entrepreneurs unite around a shared direction, they create a strength that no one can build alone. That strength began to take shape during our days in Germany, and now it's time to turn it into action.

Our ambition is to continue growing in Germany by attracting companies with strong businesses, deep local roots, and a desire to continue developing independently while becoming part of a larger group that creates opportunities to grow together.



Here is a group photo of the leaders from our companies in Germany.

**Sedum Roofs – A Sustainable Solution for the Properties of the Future**
As our cities continue to grow and climate change leads to increasingly intense rainfall, the demand for sustainable stormwater management solutions is increasing.

A sedum roof is a solution that not only enhances the appearance of a property but also provides a range of environmental and economic benefits.

**Contributes to Effective Stormwater Management**
One of the biggest challenges in densely populated urban areas is that large volumes of rainwater are rapidly directed into stormwater systems. During heavy rainfall, this can lead to overloaded systems, flooding, and increased costs for society.

Sedum roofs act as a natural buffer by absorbing and retaining a significant amount of rainfall. The water then gradually evaporates or is released slowly, reducing the load on stormwater systems and contributing to more sustainable water management.

**Promotes Biodiversity**
Sedum roofs create valuable habitats for pollinating insects such as bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In urban environments, where natural green spaces are often limited, green roofs can play an important role in strengthening biodiversity and creating ecological corridors between different natural areas.

**Improves the Environmental Performance of Buildings**
In addition to their ecological benefits, sedum roofs help improve a building’s energy performance. The vegetation acts as an additional insulating layer that helps keep the building cooler during the summer and can reduce the need for cooling.

At the same time, the roof structure protects the waterproofing membrane from UV radiation and major temperature fluctuations, which can help extend the lifespan of the roof.

**Creates Comfort and Added Value**
Green roofs provide an attractive and vibrant appearance that is appreciated by both residents and visitors. For property owners, this not only represents an aesthetic improvement but also an opportunity to strengthen the property's sustainability profile and contribute to a more pleasant and sustainable local environment.

**Part of the Future of Sustainable Construction**
For property owners who take a long-term approach to environmental responsibility, sustainability, and social well-being, sedum roofs are a natural choice. By combining functionality, aesthetics, and environmental benefits, green roofs help create more resilient and attractive properties for future generations.

**At Upsala Plåt, we build for the long term – including when it comes to leadership.**

Eric Johansson is now stepping into the role of CEO, succeeding Manne Bouveng, who has led the company through an important phase of development. At the same time, Manne will continue as Deputy CEO, supporting Eric and providing continuity as the company takes its next step forward.

Manne has a long history with Upsala Plåt. In the spring of 2007, Upsala Plåt was acquired by Manne and his father, Kjell Pettersson. They were already behind Ulf Petterssons Plåtslageri AB, and through the merger, Upsala Plåtslageri became the largest sheet metal roofing contractor in Uppsala.

For Upsala Plåt and Teqt Group, a change of Managing Director is about more than appointing someone to a new position. It is about developing people over time, creating stability within the organisation and building leadership close to the business. The recruitment was conducted through an external process, where Eric proved to be the strongest candidate for the role.

Eric joined Upsala Plåt in 2012 as a sheet metal worker. Since then, he has continued to grow within the company through roles with increasing responsibility, most recently as Project Manager. Over the years, he has helped develop the business alongside his colleagues and gained a deep understanding of the company’s culture, craftsmanship and customers.

Eric is currently participating in Teqt Group’s two-year Management Training Program for current and future leaders across the group, which is another example of how we develop and promote talent from within.

With Eric and Manne working side by side, Upsala Plåt gains both stability and a clear focus on the future, with the ambition to continue developing the business with quality, craftsmanship and long-term commitment at the core.

Best of luck in your new role, Eric!

**Nelly from Västplåt Competed in the Swedish Championship for Young Sheet Metal Workers**
 
Between May 4 and 6, the Swedish Championship for Young Sheet Metal Workers took place at Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö. The championship is part of Yrkes-SM, whose main purpose is to increase interest in Sweden’s various vocational education programmes.
 
This year, we at Teqt Group were especially proud, as Nelly Løvås Johansson from Halmstad and Västplåt took part in the competition. Nelly completed her internship at Västplåt while attending sheet metal school and will begin working full-time at the company as soon as she graduates.
 
The team at Västplåt first connected with Nelly during her first year at Kattegattgymnasiet in Halmstad, where she quickly chose to specialise in sheet metal work. Nelly showed both talent and strong professional skills from an early stage, something that became even more evident when she successfully qualified for the final in Stockholm as one of only six competitors. Nelly was also the only female finalist, which is truly inspiring!
 
Earlier this February, SVT Halland highlighted Nelly’s achievement in a feature report, which you can [watch here.](https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/halland/nelly-18-fran-halmstad-ar-en-av-sveriges-basta-unga-platslagare-tavlar-i-sm)
 
Congratulations on a strong performance at the Swedish Championship, Nelly!

The company holds a strong position in its region, with first-class quality, a solid reputation and a long entrepreneurial heritage. With an additional partner in the Frankfurt/Hesse region, we further strengthen our ability to grow in the German market, says Fredrik Karlsson, Head of M&A at Teqt Group.



> – We have built the company over three generations, and for us it was important to find a partner that shares our long-term perspective, focus on quality and entrepreneurial mindset. In Teqt Group, we gain the opportunity to continue developing the business with maintained independence, while at the same time becoming part of a larger group with strong resources and high ambitions, says Kathrin Breivogel, CEO of Flachdach BREIVOGEL.

**Teqt Group surpasses 1,000 employees**

We have now surpassed 1,000 employees in Teqt – skilled craftsmen and entrepreneurs across several countries, united by a shared focus on quality in every project. By bringing expertise together in one group, we strengthen knowledge sharing and create greater value for our customers.

**Meet Marcus Åvall – M&A Manager at Teqt Group**

Marcus Åvall has extensive experience in corporate transactions, with a particular focus on M&A. Before joining Teqt Group, he spent more than seven years working with transactions, most recently at Grant Thornton where he primarily focused on entrepreneur-led companies.

His background has given him a strong understanding of both owner-managed businesses and the processes required to execute successful transactions.


> “What attracted me to Teqt was the clear ambition to build Northern Europe’s leading roofing contractor group, combined with a decentralised model where local entrepreneurship remains at the core. The combination of entrepreneurial drive and structured M&A expertise felt like the right fit,” says Marcus about his role.


Marcus is driven by working closely with entrepreneurs and building long-term relationships. What he values most in his role is the combination of business, analysis and people – identifying strong companies, building trust and creating something greater together over time.

He sees the roofing and contracting industry as particularly interesting, not least because it consists of many strong local players. At the same time, demand remains stable, especially within renovation and service, creating strong opportunities to build a leading group through the right partnerships.

Outside of work, Marcus enjoys staying active outdoors and adapts his activities to the season – from wing foiling in the summer to skiing and Nordic ice skating in the winter. The recent skating season in Stockholm was so good that in February he was able to commute to and from the office across the ice.

**Teqt brings its model to Germany – strengthening its position in Northern Europe**

Teqt is now taking the next step in its European expansion by strengthening its presence in Germany. With a market-leading position in the Nordics and operations across four countries, Teqt continues to grow by bringing together strong locally rooted companies in Germany. The German headquarters has been established in Frankfurt, and three market-leading companies in the Hesse region are already part of the group.

Teqt is a specialist within roofing, sheet metal, waterproofing and solar energy, developing companies together with some of the industry’s most experienced roofing entrepreneurs. The establishment in Germany is a strategic step in building a long-term sustainable European specialist group. The model is based on decentralised entrepreneurship, where companies retain their name, leadership and culture, while benefiting from shared expertise, training and purchasing collaborations.

In the Nordics, this approach has created stable profitability and high customer satisfaction over time. The model is now being established in Germany as well. Germany is Europe’s largest economy, with many strong locally rooted companies. The strategy is to bring together market-leading roofing companies within geographic clusters to enable collaboration in areas such as customer relationships, projects and recruitment – without losing the local entrepreneurial spirit.


> “Germany is a strategically important market for us and represents the next clear milestone in our European growth journey. We are building our presence step by step with the right companies. The companies in Germany share the same values as those in the Nordics, where quality, customer satisfaction and a strong family-like culture are at the core. Over the coming months, we will continue to grow and welcome more companies to the group,” says Stefan Lind, CEO of Teqt Group.

**Teqt Group strengthens its position for the next phase of growth**

Teqt Group has entered into a new credit facility agreement with two leading Nordic banks. The agreement replaces the previous facility and strengthens the financial capacity for continued growth.

Since its founding in 2021, Teqt has built a Nordic specialist group within roofing and solar installations, with the ambition to become a leading player in Northern Europe. Our model is clear: strong locally rooted companies with high customer satisfaction and proven profitability, developing together through local independence and shared strength.

The new agreement provides Teqt with conditions to continue growing, both organically and by welcoming more entrepreneurs who want to take the next step in their journey without losing their identity. We are building a group of like-minded companies that share the ambition to grow long term and sustainably.

Teqt Group was established together with Aspira Partners and leading entrepreneurs within the roofing industry. Together, we have created a structure that combines expertise with professional pride and local entrepreneurship. We continue to see strong demand for quality, sustainability and professionalism across the industry. With strengthened financial capacity, we continue building the roofing specialist group of the future.

**Teqt Group welcomes Peltimylly Oy and continues the expansion in Finland**

Teqt Group has acquired Peltimylly Oy, a well-established sheet metal roofing company based just outside Oulu. The acquisition is part of Teqt Group’s continued expansion in Finland and creates strong conditions for continued development in the region.

Peltimylly holds a strong position in the Oulu region and works with several construction companies. Its customer base also includes smaller property owners, housing associations and private individuals. The business mainly consists of standing seam roofing and sheet metal work, but also includes profiled metal roofs, product sales, rainwater systems and roof safety.

The company has built a well-functioning organisation with strong local roots, stable demand and solid profitability.

Peltimylly is owned and operated by Pauli Penttilä, CEO with a background in sheet metal work, and Esa-Pekka Vauhkonen, CFO with broad experience from leading roles across various businesses. The owners acquired the company at the end of 2022 and have a clear ambition to continue developing the business.


> “We are pleased to become part of Teqt Group and see clear business advantages in developing together with like-minded companies. Sharing experience and collaborating gives us even better opportunities to continue strengthening the business,” say Pauli Penttilä and Esa-Pekka Vauhkonen of Peltimylly Oy.

Through the acquisition, Peltimylly becomes part of Teqt Group while continuing to operate with strong local roots and under its own brand.


> “Peltimylly is a well-managed and profitable company with a strong local presence. Through this acquisition, we further strengthen our position in Finland, fully in line with Teqt’s long-term strategy,” says Fredrik Karlsson, Head of M&A at Teqt Group.

**Teqt Group continues to grow in Germany – Schneider Dach becomes part of Teqt Group.**

We continue to grow in Germany and are pleased to announce that Schneider Dach GmbH is now part of the Group, an important step in strengthening our presence in the German market.

Schneider is a 155-year-old family-owned roofing company based in Kassel (Northern Hesse), founded in 1870. The company holds a strong regional position and offers a comprehensive range of roofing services. The family-owned business will now become a cornerstone of Teqt Group’s German platform, while continuing to operate under its own brand with the family remaining in the management.

Schneider currently provides design and maintenance services within waterproofing, tile/slate roofing, sheet metal, solar panels and green (sedum) roofs. A significant part of the business is linked to renovation projects, where Schneider has extensive experience.


> “We are very pleased to continue our growth journey in Germany with the acquisition of Schneider. It is a stable and reputable family business which, with its strong regional position and attractive service offering, is a perfect addition to our continued expansion in Germany,” says Fredrik Karlsson, Head of M&A, Teqt Group.

**Record snowfall requires rapid response**

Recent snowfall has led to large amounts of snow accumulating on roofs across the country, particularly along the northern coast. When heavy snowfall combines with strong winds, large snow drifts quickly form, significantly increasing the load on roofs. This requires swift actions.

Roof snow removal is a critical part of winter property maintenance. It reduces the risk of roof damage, leaks and structural collapse, protecting both people and buildings. To ensure the work is carried out safely and efficiently, it requires trained personnel, proper equipment and an organisation capable of mobilising immediately when weather conditions change.

At present, several of our companies along the northern coast are operating under demanding conditions. One day we have 50 snow removal workers deployed, the next day 100. In Söderhamn and Bollnäs, Takteknik i Hälsingland AB is active on the roofs. In Sundsvall, Takringen i Norr AB has been reinforced by colleagues from Solenergispecialisten AB. Snow depths exceeding 1.5 meters, combined with strong winds and drifting snow, place high demands on execution.

This is where we demonstrate our strength: strong local engagement, the right expertise, and the ability to scale up quickly when needed. Together, we ensure roofs continue to perform year after year.

**An investment in the future – and in Teqt Group’s next generation of leaders**

Last week was a meaningful moment for us at Teqt Group, as the first cohort of Teqt Management Training gathered in Stockholm for their diploma ceremony and networking. Above all, it was an opportunity to celebrate their own development – and those of us who led the program are truly impressed by the effort they have put in.

The program has deepened participants’ knowledge in leadership, business acumen, economics, sales and working methods. They have learned to set goals, lead people and understand the numbers – but perhaps most importantly, to be part of something bigger.

The graduation marked a milestone for everyone involved – but also a clear step in our strategy to build a sustainable company with people at the center. The pride in the room was tangible – among participants, colleagues, and not least friends and family who were there to celebrate.

We don’t just build companies – we build leaders.
Investing in a new generation of leaders is about shaping the next wave of key individuals within Teqt Group. People with drive, curiosity and ambition to step forward – and who want to take responsibility and make an impact. This is where stability, loyalty and team spirit are created, but above all, a culture where responsibility and development are encouraged. That is how we build companies that stand the test of time.

At Teqt Group, we are convinced that tomorrow’s industry leaders are shaped today. That is why we invest in the people who want to grow – and who want to help drive the industry forward.

An investment in the future – and in Teqt Group’s next generation of leaders

**Meet Thea Wivallius – One of our skilled sheet metal roofers at Arena Tak AB!**

Today, we extend our warm congratulations to Thea at Arena Tak, one of the many talented sheet metal roofers in our group. Thea has been with Arena Tak since January 2022 and has now, during the autumn, taken the step from apprentice to certified sheet metal roofer.

Thea has always been driven by challenging herself and was introduced to the sheet metal trade through an acquaintance. What she enjoys most about the profession is continuously finding her own solutions and being involved throughout the entire process. A desk job was never an option – the hands-on work and the challenge of taking on something entirely new made the sheet metal trade a perfect match for her.

We are especially proud to see Thea lead the way and now achieve her long-awaited trade certificate. We need more professionals like her – skilled sheet metal roofers remain in short supply within the construction industry, and more are required for our companies to meet future demand.

Congratulations on your trade certificate, Thea – we look forward to seeing you out on the rooftops this autumn!

**HB Blikk + Nico Blikk = Collaboration that strengthens the business**

Before summer, HB Blikk and Nico Blikk carried out a joint roofing project in Kristiansand. Together with carpenters, new roof boarding and roof windows were installed. HB Blikk was responsible for the standing seam metal roofing and flashing around the roof windows on this private residence — a project where Nico needed to strengthen the team during an intensive period. HB Blikk was able to quickly support with several skilled sheet metal workers, and thanks to close collaboration and clear planning, the project was completed quickly and safely.

This is a good example of how organic and profitable growth is created within Teqt Group: by building on what already works, with locally rooted companies collaborating when it creates tangible business value.

Credit to HB Blikk and Nico Blikk for a well-executed project — and for demonstrating how the Teqt model works in practice: independent companies that grow stronger together.

**Teqt Norway delivers at a high level**

The Teqt Norway Gazelle Award was this time presented to Tønsberg Blikk og Montasje after achieving an impressive 140% profit growth. A strong performance that demonstrates what can be achieved when drive, quality and teamwork are combined with the right conditions.

The award is given to the company in Norway that has achieved the strongest earnings growth, both in absolute NOK and in percentage terms.

The conference was held at the historic Kongsvinger fortress, where 33 participants from 12 companies across Teqt Norway gathered for two days of experience sharing, networking and fellowship.

Congratulations to Tønsberg Blikk og Montasje — and thank you to everyone who contributed to making this autumn’s leadership conference something truly special.

Teqt Norway delivers at a high level

**Higher customer satisfaction – from an already high level, we continue to raise the bar.**

Our customers say: “we enjoy working with you.” We believe our craftsmanship, strong local presence and constant ambition to improve are key to our success.

**We don’t just talk about quality – we demonstrate it. And the results from this year’s customer survey confirm what we are most proud of:**


- 9.3 / 10 in customer satisfaction – reflecting the overall customer experience

- 8.9 / 10 in loyalty – indicating how many would choose to work with the same company again

- NPS of 73 – a clear sign that our companies are actively recommended

These are more than strong numbers. They are proof of what our companies deliver every single day.

So what do our customers value most in our performance?

**Here is some of the feedback:**
-  High quality workmanship, skilled and knowledgeable professionals

- Reliable; deliver on what they promise

- Professional, friendly and easy to work with

Thank you to all companies within Teqt Group for demonstrating what true craftsmanship, customer focus and collaboration look like in practice.

Higher customer satisfaction – from an already high level, we continue to raise the bar.

**When entrepreneurs meet to grow together**

When Teqt’s Swedish CEOs meet, the focus is on strengthening the business. We recharge with energy and turn ideas into business opportunities – together. This is where collaborations are built that create organic, profitable growth, generate advantages through joint purchasing and contribute to the development of both employees and leadership in everyday work. That is exactly why our CEO meetings exist: a platform where the right people connect and scale what works in practice.

During last week’s CEO meeting, several examples were highlighted of the added value created by the companies within Teqt Group. Insights were shared on how smart collaborations have helped win new projects, how service and maintenance setups secure recurring revenue, and how shared expertise enables more assignments to be delivered with high quality. We were also joined by an external speaker discussing performance culture – and the work with motivation and learning – because we know that sustainable results start with people who thrive and develop.

This is the Teqt model in practice: local autonomy combined with shared strength – strong individually, stronger together. A platform under one roof where companies remain themselves while benefiting from support, systems and colleagues who make a real difference in everyday operations. When the best work together, both pride and results grow.

Thank you to all our entrepreneurs who contributed. This is how we build the future of the industry – deal by deal, person by person.

**The sun brings energy – to both you and your roof!**

Summer is here, bringing light, warmth and new opportunities. The sun does not only recharge us mentally – it can also provide your property with renewable energy for many years to come.

At Teqt Group, we see the roof as more than just protection from the elements – we see it as an opportunity to generate sustainable energy.

Our local companies across the Nordics are experts in roofing and waterproofing, and offer high-quality solar panel installations carried out with great care. They ensure everything is integrated safely and efficiently – for a smarter and more sustainable future.


- Sustainable energy production – Solar panels are one of the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy sources.

- Lower electricity costs – An investment that delivers savings for many years ahead.

- Increased property value – A roof with solar panels can enhance both the attractiveness and value of your property.

The sun is shining – why not make the most of it?


The sun brings energy – to both you and your roof!

**Congratulations Tobias Eriksson Ek – new CEO of Bro & Tak!**

Bro & Tak, founded in 1993, works with roofing, waterproofing, additional insulation and concrete repairs. The company is headquartered in Umeå, with offices in Örnsköldsvik and Lycksele. Tobias joined as a Project Manager in 2019 and is now stepping into the role of CEO, where he will continue to build on the strong local culture that has made Bro & Tak successful.

Tobias seized the opportunity. After applying and completing a selection process, he was admitted to our Management Training programme at Teqt Business School – the centre of our initiative to develop talent and secure the next generation of leaders. The programme brings together engaged and driven individuals from across the group, providing them with tools in leadership, business development and strategy, while supporting our companies in developing leaders for future challenges.


> “The programme has given me an invaluable network and practical methods for everyday challenges. Knowledge is a light burden to carry – and it has prepared me for the next step in Bro & Tak’s development.” — Tobias Eriksson Ek


Teqt Group brings together the best entrepreneurs – strong individually, stronger together. Each company keeps its local identity while benefiting from the group’s shared knowledge and tools. Bro & Tak will continue to be led from Northern Sweden – now with Tobias at the rudder and the full strength of the Teqt Group behind him.

Best of luck in your new role Tobias! And thank you for showing how knowledge sharing and the courage to grow create value for both people and companies. 

Congratulations Tobias Eriksson Ek – new CEO of Bro & Tak!

**Teqt Cup 2025 – a great success in Karlstad!**

On April 26, this year’s edition of the Teqt Cup took place, this time hosted by Grums Husplåt AB following their victory last year. It turned into a fantastic day filled with community, team spirit and great engagement!

The Teqt Cup is more than just a floorball tournament - it is an initiative that has grown organically from the ideas and enthusiasm of our own employees. At Teqt Group, this kind of engagement is incredibly valuable as it strengthens our company culture, builds connections and creates new synergies between our businesses. Above all, it highlights the people in our companies and their remarkable initiative.

A big thank you to Johanna and the entire team at Grums Husplåt for organising such a well-executed event. Your efforts, commitment and teamwork made this a day to remember. 

Johanna from Grums Husplåt shared her reflections:


> “During the weekend, we at Grums Husplåt invited our colleagues within Teqt to this year’s Teqt Floorball Cup. Karlstad showed its best side with beautiful sunshine, plenty of laughter and fantastic engagement from all participating companies.

**Green roofs – a smart solution for both the climate and your property**

Green roofs are not only visually appealing - they also serve several important functions for more sustainable urban development. By combining aesthetics with climate benefits, they help meet both current and future demands for energy efficiency, stormwater management and biodiversity.

With increasing climate challenges and new regulations, from the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive to local building requirements, solutions such as green and blue roofs are becoming increasingly important. In several European cities they are already a natural part of new developments.

At Teqt Group, we provide green roof solutions tailored to each property’s specific conditions - whether for new construction or renovation. This can include sedum roofs, biotopes, water-retention systems or air-purifying surface solutions.


- Reduces pressure on stormwater systems

- Contributes to lower energy consumption

- Promotes biodiversity

- Strengthens the environmental profile of the property


Our expertise and technical solutions ensure that roofs perform reliably and deliver long-term value. Together with our customers, we contribute to more sustainable urban environments.

Green roofs are also an important part of our sustainability program. For us, it is about taking responsibility and contributing to a more sustainable society, one roof at a time.

Green roofs – a smart solution for both the climate and your property

**How do we create roofs that are sustainable – both for the environment and for future generations?**

Eidsvoll Taktekking AS, part of Teqt Group, has delivered a robust and sustainable roof for Vilberg kindergarten. 

**Green roofs – a roof for future generations**
More and more buildings are being fitted with green roofs, an important part of our sustainability efforts. The sedum roof at Vilberg kindergarten contributes to biodiversity, reduces heat radiation, binds CO₂ and helps improve air quality. It also absorbs rainwater, reducing pressure on the stormwater system and supporting more sustainable water management.

In this project, protecting the building from weather and wind throughout the construction process was essential, which required temporary covering before the final roofing system could be installed. Today, the roof consists of a durable two-layer waterproofing system combined with a green roof, contributing to water retention and a better environment.

**The key to success?**
Careful planning, close collaboration and a solution-oriented approach.

Well done to Eidsvoll Taktekking AS and everyone involved!

At Teqt Group, we deliver roofs built to stand the test of time – a sustainable choice for generations to come. 

How do we create roofs that are sustainable – both for the environment and for future generations?

**Teqt Business School launches in Norway – shaping the leaders of tomorrow**

We are proud to have launched our first Management Training programme in Norway. Eight participants have now begun their journey in Teqt Business School Norway, receiving a strong introduction to leadership, business understanding and strategic development. Through workshops and discussions, they have worked with goal setting, identifying their companies’ strengths and areas for improvement, and how they can grow as leaders to support Teqt Group’s continued development.

At the same time, Teqt Business School continues to grow in Sweden, where we now run three parallel programmes – cohorts 1 and 2 in Sweden, and our very first cohort in Norway. In total, 32 participants are currently part of the programme, where we equip the leaders of tomorrow with the tools they need to grow, both as individuals and in their professional roles.

**What is Teqt Business School?**
It is our platform for competence development, where we invest in our people through training in leadership, business understanding, legal frameworks and technical expertise.

**Teqt continues to build in Finland – together with the best local companies**

With a clear strategy and a long-term focus on sustainability and profitable growth, Teqt Group aims to bring together the best companies in the country and create value for both customers and partners.

Through the acquisitions of Solvikin Kattohuolto Oy, a leading roofing contractor in the Helsinki region, as well as Tammerbitumi and Suomen Huopakatto Oy, recognized specialists in roof renovations for industrial buildings, commercial properties and housing associations, Teqt has established a strong presence in the Finnish market. These strategic acquisitions mark an important step toward becoming a leading player in Finland, while also strengthening Teqt’s position as one of the Nordic region’s leading roofing renovation groups.

> “Just as in Sweden and Norway, our ambition is to bring together companies with the highest levels of expertise and customer satisfaction in the roofing industry, so that together we can become even stronger. By focusing on sustainability, efficiency and collaboration, the group can continue to create value for all companies within Teqt,” says Fredrik Karlsson, Head of M&A at Teqt Group.


Partnerships that drive development and sustainable growth in Finland
Teqt sees strong opportunities in Finland to partner with entrepreneur-led companies that share the group’s values and ambitions. Companies that not only have the drive to develop their own businesses, but also see the value in contributing to Teqt’s continued growth and expansion in Finland.

For long-term success, Teqt prioritises partnerships with companies that combine strong business performance with a deep commitment to important values such as quality, customer satisfaction and a safe working environment.

> “We are looking for companies with a strong safety culture that want to collaborate with others in the group to drive development forward. Safety for employees, safety on the roof and a secure working environment are fundamental to building sustainable and attractive workplaces,” says Fredrik.


Adapting to the Finnish market
Teqt emphasises the importance of adapting to the unique conditions of the Finnish market. Our growth strategy is built on a business model that combines decentralised leadership with collaboration and central support. Country managers with deep experience and strong local market knowledge play a key role in this model.

> “We strongly believe that the best decisions are made close to customers and the market. That is why our business model gives significant room for local entrepreneurship and independent decision-making,” Fredrik explains.

Country managers ensure that operations are adapted to local needs while building strong relationships with customers and partners. They also act as a vital link between the local companies and Teqt’s central support functions, enabling effective collaboration and long-term development.

The journey continues – Teqt keeps building in Finland.

**The initiative comes from within.
Teqt Group – A growing force in the roofing industry**

By bringing together leading entrepreneurs in the Nordic roofing industry, we have created a platform where strong local presence and deep industry expertise are key success factors.

Teqt Group’s ambition is to become Northern Europe’s leading company in customer satisfaction, quality and profitability within sustainable roofing solutions, with a focus on sheet metal roofing, solar installations and waterproofing.

Through their commitment we can deliver the highest quality, strong profitability and at the same time help move the industry towards a more sustainable future.

By creating synergies between our companies, we generate more business opportunities. Today, Teqt covers a large part of the Nordic region with strong local presence across many locations.

With this strategic step, we strengthen our position as a leading player in roofing renovations across the Nordics and take the next step toward building a strong presence in the Finnish market.

We continuously expand the Teqt family with new strong companies – and with that our geographic reach. One day, we aim to cover all of Northern Europe.
