Protek

What Protek does

Protek Projektstyrning AB is a Sweden-based professional services firm headquartered in Gothenburg that specializes in project management for urban development and real estate. Founded in 1999 and operating as a private Aktiebolag, the company delivers "Projektstyrning" — combining project management and control with analysis, advisory, and stakeholder dialogue — to ensure client projects have appropriate teams, competencies, and decision-making foundations. Its customer base is concentrated in Sweden and spans three primary segments: Swedish municipalities and city development organizations (e.g., Nya Kasernen, Torslandaskolan), real estate developers and property companies (e.g., The Parkside, Masthuggskajen, Platinan), and private organizations undertaking commercial or facility construction (e.g., SKF New HQ, Hotel Riverton). The firm maintains a portfolio of 23+ named projects across diverse asset types, from mixed-use urban regeneration to commercial headquarters and academic facilities.

The underlying technology is essentially human-delivered professional services; there is no proprietary software platform, API, app, or disclosed integration stack. Service delivery is project-based and time-and-materials-style, with pricing not publicly disclosed — consistent with negotiated enterprise contracts typical of municipal and real estate engagements. Go-to-market is exclusively direct sales within Sweden, supported by a company website (protekgroup.se) and a LinkedIn presence for corporate communications; no channel partners, resellers, or app-store distribution are indicated. The firm has no disclosed funding events, M&A activity, subsidiaries, or parent company, suggesting organic growth funded by operating cash flow. Protek has been recognized as one of Sweden's best workplaces in 2024 and again in 2026, an employer-brand investment that supports talent attraction in its people-intensive delivery model. Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees, and no named C-suite or management team roles beyond four team members (Charlie Fredholm, Oscar Larsson, Alexander Bondeby, Johan Carlsson) appear in the source material.
