<strong>Årsrapport</strong> <strong>2009</strong> / <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2009</strong><br />

Kort om Grontmij | Carl Bro A/S<br />

Aktivitet, struktur og historie<br />

Det rådgivende ingeniørfirma Grontmij I Carl Bro<br />

A/S udgør den danske del af Grontmij koncernen,<br />

der er noteret på børsen i Amsterdam.<br />

Koncernen, der består af rådgivende ingeniørfirmaer<br />

med base i henholdsvis Belgien, Danmark,<br />

Holland, Sverige, UK/Irland, Tyskland og<br />

Polen, er et af de største rådgivende ingeniørfirmaer<br />

i Europa.<br />

Det danske selskab blev grundlagt som en enkeltmandsvirksomhed<br />

i 1959 af ingeniøren Carl<br />

Bro og er siden vokset til Danmarks tredje største<br />

rådgivende ingeniørfirma, hvor mere end<br />

1.100 medarbejdere i dag samarbejder om at<br />

levere bæredygtige løsninger inden for ekspertiseområderne<br />

projektledelse, byggeri, infrastruktur,<br />

miljø, vand og energi, IT-løsninger herunder<br />

geografiske informationssystemer samt industrielle<br />

løsninger og design.<br />

Den nuværende struktur i Grontmij koncernen er<br />

et resultat af, at den tidligere Carl Bro Gruppe i<br />

sommeren 2006 blev købt af det hollandske<br />

børsnoterede rådgivende ingeniørfirma Grontmij,<br />

og selskaberne i Carl Bro Gruppen – herunder<br />

datterselskaberne i Sverige og UK/Irland –<br />

blev en del af Grontmij koncernen.<br />

I Danmark medførte det, at selskabet i begyndelsen<br />

af 2007 skiftede navn fra Carl Bro as til<br />

Grontmij | Carl Bro A/S. Derved blev den unikke<br />

adgang til viden og erfaring, som medlemskabet<br />

af en international koncern giver, afspejlet i navnet.<br />

Selskaberne i Danmark, Sverige og UK/Irland er<br />

dermed på lige fod med Grontmij-selskaberne i<br />

Holland, Belgien, Tyskland og Polen en del af<br />

den samme koncern med udgangspunkt i det<br />

hollandske moderselskab. Som konsekvens<br />

heraf overgik ejerskabet til de tidligere Carl Broselskaber<br />

i Sverige og UK/Irland i 2007 til<br />

Grontmij i Holland. Det danske selskab er fortsat<br />

moderselskab for enkelte datterselskaber i både<br />

Danmark og udlandet, der drives som en del af<br />

den danske forretning.<br />

Grontmij | Carl Bro A/S in brief<br />

Activity, structure and history<br />

The engineering consultancy Grontmij | Carl Bro<br />

A/S makes up the Danish arm of the Grontmij<br />

Group, which is listed on the stock exchange of<br />

Amsterdam. Comprising a broad range of engineering<br />

consultancies based in Belgium, Denmark,<br />

the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK/Ireland,<br />

Germany and Poland, the Grontmij Group is<br />

among the largest engineering consultancies in<br />

Europe.<br />

The Danish company was founded as a sole<br />

proprietorship in 1959 by Carl Bro, who held a<br />

degree in engineering, and has since then<br />

grown into Denmark’s third-largest consulting<br />

engineering company, where more than 1,100<br />

employees today work as a team to supply sustainable<br />

solutions within the fields of project<br />

management, building, infrastructure, environment,<br />

water and energy, IT solutions, including<br />

geographic information systems, as well as industrial<br />

solutions and design.<br />

The present structure of the Grontmij Group is a<br />

result of events in the summer of 2006, when<br />

the Dutch listed engineering consultancy Grontmij<br />

acquired the former Carl Bro Group, and the<br />

consolidated enterprises of the Carl Bro Group –<br />

including its subsidiaries in Sweden and the<br />

UK/Ireland – became part of the Grontmij Group.<br />

In Denmark, Carl Bro a|s therefore changed its<br />

name to Grontmij | Carl Bro A/S at the beginning<br />

of 2007 to ensure that the unique access to<br />

knowledge and experience offered by membership<br />

of an international group would be reflected<br />

in the company’s name.<br />

The enterprises in Denmark, Sweden and the<br />

UK/Ireland – just like the Grontmij enterprises in<br />

the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Poland<br />

– thus form part of the same group under the<br />

umbrella of the Dutch parent. Consequently,<br />

ownership of the former Carl Bro enterprises in<br />

Sweden and the UK/Ireland was transferred to<br />

Grontmij in the Netherlands in 2007. The Danish<br />

company is still the parent of various subsidiaries<br />

in both Denmark and abroad, which operate<br />

as an integral part of the Danish business unit.<br />
