What NCC does
NCC is a Nordic construction and infrastructure group whose operating roots trace to 1875 and whose formal corporate entity was created through a 1988 merger of multiple companies. Headquartered in Sweden (Solna) with Danish operations centred in Søborg, NCC is publicly listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange (ticker: NCC) under the parent NCC AB. The group employs approximately 11,800 people across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland, of which around 2,000 are based in Denmark, and it operates through five business areas: NCC Building, NCC Infrastructure, NCC Industry, NCC Property Development, and Green Industry Transformation (established in 2024). NCC is described as one of the leading construction companies in the Nordics and runs landmark projects including major hospitals, corporate headquarters, roads, bridges, and climate adaptation infrastructure.
The service portfolio spans the full construction value chain. NCC Building covers residential, commercial, healthcare, education, sports, timber, and concrete renovation work. NCC Infrastructure delivers civil engineering, energy and utilities, foundation and marine construction (via Hercules Fundering), waterworks, district heating, cable/pipelaying, and climate adaptation. NCC Industry extracts raw materials (sand, stone, gravel) from its own quarries and pits and runs vertically integrated asphalt factories and laying crews, supported by an accredited asphalt laboratory in Fredericia. NCC Property Development develops commercial office buildings under the Company House multi-tenant concept, with all buildings certified to DGNB Gold. Specialised sub-brands include Dantonit (the only Scandinavian manufacturer of bentonite sealing products) and Jakobsen & Blindkilde (construction and nature restoration). Proprietary technical capabilities include Dantonit's mechanically flexible bentonite sealing solutions, innovative parking-house designs using steel skeleton with concrete decks and stretched-aluminium transparent facades, and timber construction know-how.
Revenue is generated through project-based contracts, public procurement tenders, direct enterprise commissions, raw-material and asphalt sales, and property development sale or lease. Customers span the public sector (municipalities and government bodies for hospitals, schools, infrastructure, and climate adaptation), private enterprise (corporate headquarters and industrial facilities such as Bosch's Ballerup HQ and Energinet's Erritsø office), the construction industry (raw materials and asphalt), and property investors/tenants. The group maintains a direct enterprise field-sales motion with account management and bids on competitive tenders, and it markets through LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and the company blog while recruiting through career fairs at Danish and Swedish universities. NCC AB is the listed parent and operates investor relations at ncc.com/investor-relations/.

Revenue model
- Construction and Building Services: NCC generates revenue through construction contracts — building, renovating, and transforming residential, commercial, and public buildings such as schools, hospitals, offices, and housing. Revenue is project-based, derived from tenders and direct commissions with public and private clients.
- Infrastructure and Civil Engineering: Revenue from infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, tunnels, waterworks, sewage treatment plants, district heating, cable and pipe laying, and climate adaptation projects. These are typically large-scale public and private contracts.
- Asphalt Production and Laying: NCC Industry produces asphalt in its own factories and lays it for roads, highways, and other surfaces. This is a vertically integrated operation spanning raw material supply through to finished surface. Revenue is derived from public procurement contracts and private clients.
- Raw Materials (Gravel, Stone, Sand): NCC extracts and sells raw materials — gravel, stone, and sand — from its own quarries and pits. Materials are sold to the concrete and asphalt industries and used in NCC's own construction projects. Private sales of sand, stone, and gravel are also offered.
- Property Development: NCC Property Development develops commercial properties and business premises for sale or lease. Activities include land acquisition, development, construction, and sale or leasing of completed properties. The Company House concept offers shared office facilities to multiple tenants.
