What Processus does
Processus AB is a Swedish engineering consultancy founded in 2015 in Stockholm by Nils Carlsson, Sofie Wirandi and Mattias Liss, operating across four Swedish offices (Stockholm headquarters, Uppsala, Malmö and Gothenburg). The firm delivers multi-discipline engineering services for the process industry, combining project management, process design, piping, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, automation (PLC, HMI, DCS, SCADA), quality assurance and validation under both specialist-consulting and full turnkey project engagements. Service delivery is grounded in industry-standard platforms (AutoCAD Plant 3D, Siemens TIA Portal / PCS7, ABB Control Builder / 800xA, Zenon SCADA, ISA88 batch) and a proprietary internal project model and quality management system, with certifications in ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 maintained with four consecutive years of zero audit deviations.
The company targets four verticals — pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, general industry, and energy — where regulated manufacturing environments (GMP, GxP, GAMP 5, FDA) demand documented, auditable project execution. Customer evidence spans enterprise and government accounts including Octapharma, Orkla, Bakels, Stockholm Exergi, OKQ8, Linde, Fuchs, Swedish Match, Trafikverket and Skruf, with project structures ranging from pre-studies to multi-year turnkey deliveries. Processus generates revenue on a project basis using both cost-plus and fixed-price contracts, grew from 850 KSEK in 2015 to 180 MSEK in 2021 (EBITA between 9% and 23%), and has been recognized as an Årets Gazelle three consecutive years (2020-2022) and Superföretag by Dun & Bradstreet for seven consecutive years.
In March 2023 Processus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Instalco, a Nordic installation group of roughly 150 subsidiaries and over 6,000 employees, providing cross-sell potential and shared procurement while preserving Processus's specialist positioning. The leadership has been professionalized post-acquisition: Johan Teodorsson was appointed CEO in 2021, Christina Höjer and Mattias Ekeroth joined as COOs in 2023, Gunnar Lundgren joined as CFO in 2022 (with Elsa Colbing succeeding in February 2026), and Nicklas Dambrinken was recruited as CEO in 2025. Headcount sits in the 51-100 range, up from 60 in 2021, and the company holds an EcoVadis Silver Medal for sustainability performance.
