Rodoverken

What Rodoverken does

Rodoverken AB is a Swedish specialist engineering firm that designs, fabricates, and assembles site-built steel constructions, with a portfolio centered on three product categories: thermal energy storage tanks (värmeackumulatorer), pressure vessels (tryckkärl), and large-scale industrial storage tanks. The company is differentiated by three proprietary construction methods: the originally patented Spiral Method, which enables tank construction from ground level with fixed workstations to ensure weather-independent quality; the Hydraulic Jacking System, which builds the roof first and progressively lifts it while shell sections are welded; and the Electric Jacking System used for stainless steel tanks with rotational welding precision. These techniques reduce construction risk and weather dependency relative to conventional elevated tank-building approaches.

The company delivers fully integrated project services spanning design, prefabrication in workshop, on-site installation, and commissioning. GTM is exclusively enterprise project-based sales: three specialized sales managers cover project sales (Hans-Olof Larsson), Nordic sales (Mats Lundh), and maintenance sales (Henrik Hjelm), engaging directly with industrial buyers in energy, process, chemicals, district heating, and water supply segments across Scandinavia and northern Europe. Pricing is custom-quoted per project; no standardized pricing, marketplace, or channel distribution exists. Named enterprise customers include Tekniska Verken Linköping, Göteborg Energy, Luleå Energy, Brattås, and Hässleholm Mill, with 1,500+ completed projects over 80+ years demonstrating a long-cycle industrial track record.

Rodoverken operates a headquarters and main production facility in Ödsmål, Sweden, and a wholly-owned subsidiary with production workshop in Poland (Rodoverken Polen). The company employs over 100 skilled staff (engineers, project managers, welders, assemblers), of whom approximately 70 work in production. Since March 2025, Rodoverken has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bilfinger SE, a major European industrial services provider, gaining access to broader integrated services, technical expertise, and cross-sell opportunities across the Bilfinger portfolio. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 3834-2, EN 1090-1, Akilles JQS certifications, and has earned the EcoVadis Gold Medal through the parent group, supporting positioning with ESG-conscious Nordic utilities and industrial buyers.

Core offering

Rodoverken designs, manufactures, and assembles site-built steel constructions for industrial customers, with a portfolio centered on thermal energy storage tanks (heat accumulators), large-scale storage tanks, and pressure vessels. Each project is delivered as an end-to-end solution spanning engineering, prefabrication in workshop, on-site installation, and commissioning. The company also performs maintenance and modification of existing tanks and steel structures, and supports energy, process, chemical, district heating, and water supply clients across Scandinavia and northern Europe.

Product overview

Rodoverken is a specialized provider of site-built steel constructions for industrial storage and energy applications. The portfolio centers on three core product categories — thermal energy storage tanks (värmeackumulatorer), pressure vessels (tryckkärl), and large-scale storage tanks — supported by innovative proprietary construction methods including the patented spiral method, hydraulic jacking, and electric jacking systems. These mounting techniques differentiate Rodoverken from standard tank manufacturers by enabling safer, weather-independent construction from ground level. The company also provides comprehensive maintenance and modification services for existing tanks and steel structures. All offerings are delivered as integrated solutions encompassing design, prefabrication, on-site installation, and commissioning, serving industries including energy, process, chemicals, and district heating across Scandinavia and northern Europe.
