Opteno will be Install

Install acquires fibre installation company

Northern installation company Install is acquiring fibre specialists Opteno in Östersund as part of its plan to offer local fibre and electrical installers across northern Sweden.

- "With the acquisition of Opteno, we can offer local fibre installation services in a geographically larger market. Their team of experienced project managers and fibre installers will be a welcome reinforcement of our joint offering and we will be properly positioned for today's and tomorrow's needs," says Jan Fransson, CEO of Install.

For Opteno, the deal means new opportunities where the company's experience and expertise are utilised through new exciting business opportunities.

Stig Ove Norrman, CEO of Opteno: "Becoming part of Install feels good. They are a strong and long-term player with a clear local focus.

The timing of the deal is also particularly appropriate for Install as it recently won the contract to build a local interconnection network in Jämtland for the broadband provider IP-Only. A project that amounts to a value of just over SEK 40 million.

Sebastian Hellström, Operations Manager for Install Fibre: "We welcome our new colleagues from Opteno to Install. They will be an important piece of the puzzle for our fibre offering in this region.
