Kanonaden Entreprenad Mälardalen AB is a subsidiary of Kanonaden Entreprenad AB, a fast-growing civil engineering contractor in Sweden founded in 1983 and established in the Mälardalen region near Stockholm in 2017. The company is part of AF Gruppen, a major Nordic industry and construction group, which became a principal shareholder in 2017. Kanonaden Entreprenad AB employs over 370 people and generates more than SEK 2 billion in annual revenue.
The Mälardalen business focuses on groundwork, foundation, and infrastructure projects. Notable recent work includes the construction of the Vega School and Activity Centre in Haninge, south of Stockholm, where Kanonaden offered total contracting services from foundation to playground landscaping and collaborated with acclaimed architects for thoughtful urban integration. Another current large project is a new wastewater treatment plant in Gävle, involving groundwork and pipe installations valued at about SEK 500 million.

For example, the company is collaborating with Hitachi Energy on the installation of two advanced 400 kV series compensation systems for Svenska kraftnät, intended to upgrade Sweden’s national grid capacity and improve voltage stability.
With strategic offices in the region and a technical focus on complex civil engineering, the organisation combines local engagement with the resources of a larger enterprise. It manages contracts across the private and public sector, taking on schools, utility systems, energy infrastructure, and large groundwork assignments throughout eastern and central Sweden.
