ÅF, PÖYRY FORM AFRY
ÅF was founded in 1895 and Pöyry in 1958 and the two companies merged early in 2019. The merger brought together 17,000 employees with offices in 50 countries and projects in 100 countries, with an annual revenue of about SEK 20 billion.
“Our focus on sustainability is strengthened and our position as a global company is consolidated with the launch of AFRY,” says Jonas Gustavsson, President and CEO at AFRY. “Given the exponential technological development we are facing, our services and solutions are more relevant than ever.”
The legal name of the company will remain ÅF Pöyry AB. The new brand AFRY is a combination of the letters in ÅF and Pöyry.
