What Frijo does
Frijo (AB Frijo) is a Swedish construction and civil engineering company founded in 1866, headquartered in Segeltorp near Stockholm, operating across the Stockholm, Uppsala, and Mälardalen regions. The company provides a comprehensive suite of ground and infrastructure services: concrete and foundation work (Konstbyggnad), ground and water/sewage work (Mark- och VA-arbeten), tunnel and rock work (Tunnel- och Bergarbeten), and broader infrastructure (Infrastruktur) covering road, railway, and pipeline construction. Frijo serves both public-sector clients — including Storstockholms Lokaltrafik, Statens Fastighetsverk, Stockholms Hem, Svenska Bostäder, and the City of Stockholm — and private-sector clients including Skanska, E.ON, Fortum, Vattenfall, Telia, Vasakronan, and Zengun. Disclosed project values range from approximately SEK 24M to SEK 87M, indicating mid-sized contract scope.
Frijo operates as a B2B enterprise field sales construction firm, with revenue generated through project-based, one-time construction contracts tendered by long-term recurring clients. The company is a subsidiary within Entreprenad & Anläggningsgruppen (EA Gruppen), which also encompasses Broby Spår/Westins Kraft and Bro & Väg. Frijo expanded its underground and sensitive-environment construction capability in 2015 by acquiring Bygg & Berglaget Stockholm AB, which remains a wholly-owned subsidiary. The firm holds BKMA/BF9K certification (aligned with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001), audited annually by DNV GL, supporting its eligibility for public-sector tenders. As of the last disclosed period, Frijo had approximately 146 employees and reported FY2020 net turnover of SEK 443.5M. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company is privately held with no listed equity.
