We are currently in a position with several interesting growth opportunities and an active owner such as Procuritas with clear ambitions, resources to support the growth and experience from assisting companies in similar situations makes the partnership an ideal fit for us.” Says Mikael Nordman, CEO of Netcontrol.

“We have been tracking the energy automation space for a long time and are impressed by the achievements of Netcontrol and the management team. The company’s solutions are increasing in importance for network operators as demand for smart-grid capabilities and high up-time are increasing. Furthermore, the company is well appreciated as an agile, high-quality partner with a wide customer base both in the Nordics and in other regions.
