Ratos is divided into three different business areas: Construction & Services, Industry and Consumer.
Construction & Services

The service offering primarily comprises maintenance of critical infrastructure within railway, road and energy solutions (Critical Infrastructure), and the construction of new critical buildings such as hospitals, schools, police stations and governmental buildings in the Nordics (Construction).
President Business Area: Christian Johansson Gebauer
About the business area
The business area’s operations benefit from current social developments and trends such as urbanisation, growing populations, the need for renewable energy and efficient resource management. We want to grow the business area by acquiring businesses with complementary service offerings that provide hard and soft synergies to the existing operations. As in our other business areas, the focus is on leading margins and strong cash flows combined with a decentralised corporate culture focused on profitability and a business model built on long-term sustainability. The business area is divided into two segments in which the following companies are included: Critical Infrastructure (Aibel, Expin Group and Presis Infra) and Construction (airteam, HENT and SSEA Group). With the aim of creating uniform business areas, it was decided in conjunction with the interim report for Q2 2023 that the company Speed Group would be reported in the Industry business area instead of Construction & Services.
