Veidekke and subsidiary secure $105m Swedish defence facility project
Scandinavian contractor Veidekke and its subsidiary Veitech have received a contract to undertake construction and installation work for one of the Swedish Fortifications Agency's facilities in eastern Sweden. The Skr1bn ($105.2m) contract is to be registered in the company's order book for the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025). This project will begin production in Q2, with completion due by the first quarter of 2028. Veitech focuses on installation and related technology for buildings and civil engineering structures. The Swedish Fortifications Agency is responsible for the ownership, development, and management of properties that are integral to the national defence system. Veidekke operates in the construction sector while also engaging in road maintenance and the production of asphalt and aggregates. The company has an annual turnover of around Nkr41bn ($4.1bn) and a workforce of 8,000, half of whom are shareholders. Veidekke was awarded another contract last month by Statsbygg for the establishment of the new Institute of Materials Science and Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. Spanning 13,200m² over ten floors, the facility will become a hub for over 200 NTNU employees, SINTEF Industri, external partners, and more than 300 students. Earlier this year, Veidekke secured a contract from the Swedish Transport Administration for the reconstruction of the Muggebo-Tjos section of the E20 road past Mariestad. This project entails rebuilding a 12km stretch of the E20 and adding a new bypass around Mariestad, with an expected completion date in late 2028.

Germany's DMK dairy giant clears first hurdle in Arla merger plan
Germany's DMK Group and the Danish-Swedish giant Arla Foods have cleared the first hurdle on their way to becoming Europe's largest dairy co-operative. Farmers from both organizations agreed to a planned merger with large majorities at separate meetings, the companies announced on Wednesday. At DMK, more than 200 dairy farmers met in the northern German city of Hanover to vote on the merger plans, which were announced in April. The EU's competition authority must now give its approval, a process that could take until next March, DMK said. Until then, the two organizations will continue to operate separately. According to a DMK spokeswoman, the merger would bring together more than 12,000 farmers in a joint co-operative, to be named Arla. This would include around 4,600 farmers from DMK in Germany and the Netherlands, and some 7,600 from Arla in Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. DMK has its headquarters in Zeven in the northern German state of Lower Saxony, while its administration is based in Bremen. Arla is based in the Danish town of Viby, which is also set to be the future headquarters of the merged company. Together, the two co-operatives have an annual turnover of almost €19 billion ($22 billion) and around 28,700 employees.

ISG to Study Providers of Strategic Insurance Services
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched four research studies examining providers of services that address the complex needs of insurance enterprises. Insurance enterprises are navigating digital transformation, embracing advancements in AI and digital engineering. Providers foster these capabilities, ensuring that companies are equipped to thrive in a rapidly changing environment. Share The study results will be published in four ISG Provider Lens™ reports: Insurance Global Capability Centers (GCCs) by Service Providers, Insurance GenAI and Agentic AI Services, Insurance Services Specialists and Insurance Digital Engineering Services. The reports are scheduled to be released in November 2025. Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm's buy-side clients. The insurance services ecosystem is evolving to address demands for streamlined processes, enhanced customer interactions and greater adaptability. Insurance companies increasingly use GCCs as essential hubs to boost operational efficiency. The integration of advanced AI technologies, such as generative AI and agentic AI, has become crucial for enhancing customer experience and operational resilience. Enterprises are seeking insurance services specialists to address skills gaps through tailored solutions. At the same time, digital engineering is transforming the industry by streamlining design-to-execution processes. 'Insurance enterprises are navigating a steep landscape of digital transformation, embracing advancements in AI and digital engineering,' said Iain Fisher, director at ISG. 'Providers play a crucial role in fostering these capabilities, ensuring that companies are equipped to thrive in a rapidly changing environment.' ISG has distributed surveys to more than 100 providers for the four studies. Working in collaboration with ISG's global advisors, the research team will produce four reports, each with one or more quadrants representing the strategic services insurance enterprises are buying, based on ISG's experience working with its clients.
