Modern office building in Sweden for Hitachi

Nordec Group Oy press release 16.07.2026 10.00

Nordec is responsible for the structural scope in an expansion at Hitachi Energy’s site in Ludvika, Sweden, under contract with Tommy Allström Byggproduktion AB (TAB). The project is carried out alongside ongoing operations and supports the Ludvika site’s role as one of Hitachi Energy’s key hubs for power transmission technology.  

The project continues the established cooperation between Nordec and TAB across logistics and commercial developments in Sweden. The delivery is based on prefabricated elements and a phased installation plan to ensure progress on an operating site. 

“The project takes place next to ongoing operations, which requires careful coordination. Together with Nordec, we have aligned the structural solutions and installation sequence to maintain site operations while ensuring a high level of safety. Cooperation and trust have guided the work from the start,” says Tommy Allström, CEO, T.A.B.

Nordec’s delivery covers the structural design, production and installation of the main frame. Façade elements are included for the server hall, and roof structures for both the server hall and the office building. 

“This project combines office, visitor and technical buildings within an active industrial environment. Careful sequencing between the different structures and installation phases is important to keep the project progressing safely and according to schedule,” says Minna Kuusela-Opas, SVP, Multi-storey, Nordec.

Structural design work began in late 2025 and installation started in March 2026. Nordec’s scope is scheduled for completion by the end of August 2026, while the main project phases are expected to be completed by mid-2027.  

The office and visitor buildings are designed to meet the requirements for LEED Gold certification.

Nordec to deliver steel structures for the redevelopment of Modo Hockey’s training centre in Sweden

Nordec Group Oy press release 16.12.2025 09.30 UTC+3

Modo Hockey’s training home and Örnsköldsvik’s sports infrastructure are being upgraded with a new Multisporthall and a modernised Modo Hall. Nordec will design, manufacture and install the steel frame for the new Multisporthall, while also renewing the roof structure of the adjacent Modo Hall training arena. The project is commissioned by the Municipality of Örnsköldsvik with REKAB as the main contractor. 

The new Multisporthall will provide nearly 6,500 m² of indoor space, seating for around 400 spectators, and a height of 12 metres. Built next to Modo Hall, it will form a combined complex of over 160 metres in length for year-round training, matches and competitions. Together, the facilities will strengthen training and competition opportunities in the region and continue to serve as the training home of Modo Hockey, one of Sweden’s long-standing top-league clubs. 

A central design element is the use of roof trusses spanning up to 45 metres, creating open indoor areas suitable for versatile sports use. Modo Hall will also be upgraded with a renewed roof structure, extending the lifespan of the existing arena and improving its functionality alongside the new Multisporthall. 

“This project brings together a new multi-purpose arena and the modernisation of an existing facility in a single delivery,” says Minna Kuusela-Opas, Senior Vice President, Multi-Storey, Nordec. “By working with REKAB and the Municipality of Örnsköldsvik, we are strengthening sports infrastructure that will serve both the local community and Modo Hockey for many years ahead.” 

Nordec’s scope covers structural design, production and installation. For the Multisporthall, this includes the complete steel frame, load-bearing roof sheets, hollow-core slabs and sandwich panels. For Modo Hall, Nordec will deliver new roof trusses and roof sheeting as part of the modernisation. 

Production is carried out at Nordec’s units in Finland and Poland. Work on Modo Hall began earlier this autumn, followed by the Multisporthall. Completion is scheduled for spring 2026.

Chocolate factory exterior

Nordec Group Oy press release 11.11.2025 09.10 UTC+3

Nordec will deliver the roof steel structures and additional steel elements for Fazer’s new chocolate factory in Lahti. The project is managed by Skanska, and the contract covers workshop drawings, production and installation.

The scope includes the roof trusses, beams and bracing, as well as approximately 32,000 square metres of load-bearing sheets and 2,000 square metres of steel decking. Production will start in late 2025, installation is scheduled for the first half of 2026, and the factory is scheduled to be operational in 2028. 

Nordec’s delivery focuses on the roof structures, where precise tolerances and connection interfaces with the concrete frame are essential for smooth execution. 

“For an industrial project of this scale, the interfaces between the steel roof structures and the concrete frame set the standard for the whole programme. With design, production and installation in one package, we can control quality from start to finish,” says Vesa Keltikangas, Project Manager, Nordec.

Traindepot in Hagalund, Sweden

Nordec to deliver frame and envelope for new train depot in Hagalund, Stockholm

Nordec Group Oy press release 13.3.2025 at 08.45

Nordec has been awarded a contract by NCC to design and build the frame and envelope structures for a new train depot in Hagalund, Stockholm. The depot, developed by Jernhusen as the property owner and investor, aims to enhance Sweden’s rail infrastructure and strengthen the region’s public transportation network.

This project represents a key milestone in modernizing Sweden’s rail infrastructure, and Nordec’s contribution includes the construction of a steel frame, prefabricated concrete slabs, walls, stairs, sandwich panel wall elements, and roof sheeting. NCC, responsible for the overall construction, will build a state-of-the-art train hall with vehicle lifts. Throughout the process, the existing depot and track area will remain operational, minimizing disruption for commuters and rail operators. 

In line with Nordec’s and NCC’s commitment to responsible construction practices, the project targets a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ certification. Special focus will be placed on material efficiency and minimizing environmental impact during construction. 

The modernized depot will boost rail efficiency and capacity in Stockholm while supporting Sweden’s goals for sustainable transport and reduced road traffic. Jernhusen’s long-term vision for the site is to create a modern, efficient depot that meets future transportation needs.  

Construction planning took place throughout autumn 2024, and assembly began just before Christmas. The project is set to be completed by December 2025.
