We are now Europe's largest company that performs inspections, rebuilding and renovation of chimneys for industry and energy companies. With the acquisition of Jysk Skorstens Service, the business is expanded to also include the production of steel chimneys. We love heights and work with all types of chimneys: concrete, brick and steel chimneys. We inspect, service, demolish chimneys and also work with water forming and concrete spraying of concrete structures.
ERAB's CEO and owner, Daniel Bosäter, said: "I am delighted that our companies can now join forces to continue to be the professional first choice for our customers. Two companies with a long history are moving into the future together. Now we can also offer production of steel chimneys from 10 meters up to 150 meters, which broadens our business and is unique in the industry."
Jysk Skorstens Services CEO and one of three partners, Henrik Boddum, said: "This solution will be the absolute best for both our companies. Two of the best companies in the industry are joining forces and strengthening their position in our markets. Jysk is currently present in around 20 countries and together with ERAB we will invest in several new countries."
ERAB's Chairman, Mikael Andersson, said: "It is fantastic to be able to develop two fine companies with a long history into a common future. This strengthens both companies. With great customer focus, fantastic employees, great safety thinking and with all the certificates needed at high altitudes, the future will be very exciting."
