GVV

What GVV does

GVV (Gatu och Väg Väst AB) is a Swedish specialist construction and concrete maintenance firm founded in 2004 by CEO Per Svensson and headquartered in Gunnilse, near Göteborg. The company performs repair, rehabilitation, and new construction of concrete infrastructure — primarily bridges, harbor and marine structures, hydroelectric power stations, parking decks, and courtyard slabs — using techniques including cement injection (cementinjektering), shotcrete (sprutbetong), and traditional formwork. Since 2004, GVV has completed more than 1,000 bridge repairs in Götaland and operates across Götaland, Svealand, and parts of Norrland, with regional offices in Halmstad and Nacka (Stockholm).

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting both public-sector clients (Trafikverket, Göteborgs Hamn, county administrations, and municipalities including Göteborg, Malmö, Laholm, and Ängelholm) and private-sector clients (Vattenfall Vattenkraft, Brf Linjalen, Lerums Fjärrvärme). Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts awarded via competitive bidding, with no public pricing disclosed. The firm holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, employs 140+ personnel, and operates as a regional subsidiary within Eleda Group, a Swedish infrastructure services conglomerate backed by Bain Capital and Altor that reported 20 billion SEK of 2024 revenue across approximately 3,500 employees.

Direct peers

• Bilfinger SE: European industrial services and infrastructure-maintenance specialist. Closely comparable business model to GVV in providing concrete repair, industrial maintenance, and asset-rehabilitation services to industrial and infrastructure clients across multiple European geographies.
• Implenia AG: Swiss-headquartered construction and civil-engineering contractor with Nordic operations and a similar profile in civil-infrastructure construction and rehabilitation. Comparable in service scope and project-based B2G/B2B contracting model.
• Peab AB: Major Swedish civil engineering and construction contractor with a substantial infrastructure-maintenance business. Competes with GVV for the same public infrastructure tenders (bridges, civil works) in Sweden under similar project-based contracting models.
• NCC AB: One of Sweden's largest construction and infrastructure contractors with active civil engineering and infrastructure-maintenance operations serving the same public-sector clients (Trafikverket, municipalities) as GVV. Directly comparable in target market and contracting model, though significantly larger and more diversified.

Broad incumbents

• Skanska AB: Global construction major headquartered in Sweden with a large domestic infrastructure and civil-engineering business. Overlaps with GVV in bridge and public-infrastructure work, but is many times larger and operates across building, residential, and commercial real estate as well.

Others

• AFRY AB: Swedish-headquartered engineering, design, and project-management consultancy active in infrastructure, energy, and industrial markets. Functions as an adjacent ecosystem participant — designs and project-manages the kinds of infrastructure assets GVV physically constructs and maintains, making it a complementary partner rather than direct competitor.

Regional players

• Veidekke ASA: Norwegian-based Scandinavian construction and civil-engineering group with infrastructure-maintenance and concrete-repair operations across the Nordics. Highly comparable business model, though primarily serving Norwegian and wider Nordic markets rather than Sweden specifically.
• Porr AG: Austrian-headquartered European construction group with civil-engineering and infrastructure-maintenance operations across the DACH and CEE regions. Comparable in heavy-civil infrastructure contracting, though active in Central European markets rather than Sweden.
• AF Gruppen ASA: Norwegian civil-engineering and construction contractor with strong infrastructure and renovation businesses. Comparable in civil-infrastructure service scope but operating primarily in Norway rather than Sweden.
• STRABAG SE: Large European construction and infrastructure group with significant civil-engineering and transportation-infrastructure operations. Comparable in heavy-civil contracting scope and public-sector client base, though active across multiple European geographies rather than Sweden-only.
