The Bernese energy group BKW has taken over Elektroanlagen Dresden-Mitte GmbH (EAD). The company intends to expand its position as a service provider in high voltage systems technology in Germany.
With the acquisition, BKW strengthens the network of its subsidiary BKW Infra Services in north-central Germany, the Bernese energy supplier announced on Friday. Furthermore, the company thus strengthens its position in a growing market, because Germany wants to invest 60 billion euros in high and very high voltage grids by 2030 alone.
According to the announcement, EAD emerged in 1999 from a management buy-out by employees of ABB Schaltanlagenbau. The company has 30 employees. The core business ranges from the construction of high voltage systems to electrical installation.
