Sweco has signed an agreement to acquire engineering consultancy STEIN Ingenieure  with approximately 60 experts spread across several locations in Germany. The acquisition will expand Sweco’s presence in the water sector and thus enable Sweco to capture more business opportunities in a growing segment.

STEIN Ingenieure’s specialist areas include sewer rehabilitation, wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, structural engineering, pipe jacking and inspections of engineering structures. The experts from the company will join the more than 1,800 experts in Sweco Germany’s organisation as soon as possible.

“I am excited to welcome the experts from STEIN Ingenieure to Sweco. Germany’s water sector is entering a period of major transition, with modernisation, climate resilience, ageing infrastructure and stricter EU requirements driving urgent action. Together with our new colleagues from STEIN Ingenieure, Sweco will continue to support German water utilities, municipalities and other clients with the delivery of secure, efficient and future-proof water and wastewater solutions,” says Julia Zantke, Business Area President for Sweco in Germany.

STEIN Ingenieure reported turnover of approximately EUR 6.5 million for 2025. Sweco’s Business Area of Germany & Central Europe reported turnover of approximately EUR 271 million for 2025.

“The acquisition of STEIN Ingenieure marks a clear next step for Sweco in Germany. Going forward, we will focus on expansion in selected areas. This includes the water market, where needed modernisation is driving good demand,” says Julia Zantke.
