Wästbygg AB is an established Swedish construction and project development company with its origins in Borås, founded in 1981. The company maintains a significant presence across Sweden, including an office in Stockholm, and is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. In recent years, Wästbygg has also expanded through its subsidiary Logistic Contractor into Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
Historically, Wästbygg began as a local builder but quickly broadened its geographical scope and capabilities. Notable milestones include the partnership with McDonald's, resulting in the construction of over 170 restaurants around Sweden in the 1990s. Ownership shifted in 2013 when M2 Holding became the main shareholder, and the group's structure now includes Wästbygg AB, Rekab Entreprenad AB, and Logistic Contractor AB.
The company operates within three main segments: residential, commercial (including properties for public services), and logistics/industrial buildings. Recent projects include Lagerkransen, a multi-family residential building certified to the Miljöbyggnad Guld standard, and Pro Stop Borås, a 15,000 square meter retail center. Wästbygg has also constructed community-oriented structures, such as Nakterhusskolan in Haninge, which accommodates 400 students.
As of 2025, Wästbygg has around 400-500 employees, with revenues from Swedish activities exceeding three billion SEK annually. In response to sector challenges, the company has restructured in recent years, prioritizing profitability, efficiency, and sustainability. Wästbygg is ISO-certified in quality, environment, and workplace safety, and regularly develops buildings to Nordic Ecolabel standards.
