Brødrene A & O Johansen A/S has entered into a purchase agreement with the Stockholm-based company "Svenska VA-Grossisten AB", marking a significant step forward in AO Sweden's geographic expansion. With this acquisition, AO achieves an important position in the Stockholm area, thereby enhancing its ability to serve nationwide customers in Sweden.

In its first fiscal year, the company achieved a revenue of 87 million Swedish kronor (equivalent to 57 million Danish kroner) and an EBITDA of 14 million Swedish kronor (equivalent to 9 million Danish kroner).
