The integration of Juust into Sweco is set to take place immediately.

"With the team of professionals from Juust we can create even more value for our clients. We also recognise a strong cultural fit that is about people and the motto of Juust (‘because tomorrow can be more beautiful’) fits in seamlessly with the Sweco’s purpose of transforming society together.”
