<strong>Midroc</strong> EuropeEXECUTIVE COMMITTEE COMMENTSGrowing strongertogether – in goodtimes and badEntering a new year, we still find ourselves in a harsh economy and a tough market.2012 has largely been characterized by fierce competition and shrinking margins. Inview of the situation, the <strong>Midroc</strong> companies have demonstrated incredible strength.The strategic investments we have made and the significant projects we are part ofgive us the confidence to say that the prospects for 2013 are good.The persistent economic downturn has hit many of ourcustomers, particularly in the automotive, steel and propertyindustries. Opportunities to offer electric installationsas well as construction and sales in the housing market decreasedsignificantly during the year. To counter the effects,our focus has been set on increased production efficiencyand improved quality assurance. Our markets will continueto be tough and we can’t simply wait for better times.We are determined to constantly adapt ourselves, ourproducts and our services to changing conditions in orderto be our clients’ first choice – in good times and bad.Still strong in a tough economyConsidering the economic situation, we have turned anacceptable pre-tax profit of SEK 136.7 million. Despitea tough economy, we have delivered many successfulprojects during the past year, and we are looking aheadwith realistic optimism. It has been satisfying to see Rodoverkenwin a major contract to build Sweden’s largestLNG-tank in Lysekil and also carry out a number of largestop projects in Norway.We are also pleased to see that our companies have demonstratedan impressive flexibility and ability to adaptto changing market conditions. By focusing on marketsless affected by the economic downturn, such as thepower and energy industry as well as the mining industry,several <strong>Midroc</strong> companies have managed to grow andincrease market shares.During 2012 we continued to make significantinvestments in many of our businesses. <strong>Midroc</strong> Electrostrengthened its geographical and technical positions byacquiring Swedish property automation and electric installationscompany Browik. BAC Corrosion Control hasextended its business by acquiring the British companyRose Corrosion Services Ltd. Rose specializes in chemicalinjection and corrosion monitoring, which will improveBAC’s positions in the oil, gas and refining industries.Our property company MPD continued to invest in thedevelopment of commercial properties and housing. InPoland, the expansion of our corrosion protection companyAlucrom continued with new paint shops establishedclose to our customers.04 | <strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012


Thomas Mårtensson, Christer Wikström and Roger Wikström.Together to get thereTo improve our own efficiency, much of our focus duringthe year has been directed towards perfecting internalprocesses. A new IT platform across the entire group willtake us several steps towards a fully digital workplaceand greatly improve our communication and work flow.It will help us establish the “<strong>Midroc</strong> way of working”.Further<strong>more</strong>, our employer branding survey revealedresults to be truly proud of – especially when it comesto leadership. Similarly, surveys show that our customersperceive us as being customer-oriented, professional andpassionate. These are valuable confirmations that workingwith our core values really does pay off.Working in an organization that always aims higher isinspiring for all of us. Looking ahead, we will put evengreater focus on efficient collaboration, both internallyand externally with our customers. We have launched avalue-based brand platform that communicates the coreexperiences of the <strong>Midroc</strong> brand. The short version of ourplatform is expressed in our brand promise “Together toget there”. When everyone is involved from the start wecan solve issues faster, thoroughly enjoy our work andcontribute to the best of our abilities. It is great to see repeatedlyhow our employees make efforts beyond what isexpected and take on every challenge. That is what makesus confident that we will continue to grow stronger andthat the best way to achieve it is by doing it together.Christer Wikström Roger Wikström Thomas Mårtensson<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012 |05


<strong>Midroc</strong> EuropeTogether TO GET THEREBest in class –independentlyand togetherWe truly believe that focusing on individual skills is not enough, it is always a matterof team efforts. The concept of ‘winning teams’, as well as a constant focus on creatingthem in all our businesses, is the basis of our success. This is what makes <strong>Midroc</strong>unique and why we are perceived as best in class.Our goal is to make our customers <strong>more</strong> competitive andto contribute to a better future through the implementationof sustainable solutions for industries and communities.Together with our customers, we increase eachother’s competitiveness. All our companies also contributeto and benefit from the strength of belonging to the<strong>Midroc</strong> group.Our success builds on our understanding of and abilityto deliver solutions for clients with many specializedneeds. We always offer each client their own individual<strong>Midroc</strong> – but much of our advantage lies in a number ofcommon strengths. In a group of 11 companies and <strong>more</strong>than 150 profit centers across different countries andindustries, the need for cohesion is particularly evident.Best in class with winning teamsEver since Mohammed H. Al-Amoudi founded the <strong>Midroc</strong>Europe group in 1996, the strategy has been to let eachcompany develop according to its own potential, with decentralizedresponsibility. All companies do however sharea common goal – to become best in class in their respectivedomains, both in terms of profitability and of beingthe first-hand choice for clients, employees and partners.The group’s strength comes from synergies created whenthe specific skills and expertise of each <strong>Midroc</strong> companyare combined in joint projects and collaborations.“We always strive to create winning teams, with theultimate goal of becoming best in class,” says JörgenPersson, Division Manager at <strong>Midroc</strong> Electro. “To us, itcomes down to the people we work with and our abilityto organize efficiently. We interact constantly and areclear in our communication of goals and direction. Wheneveryone is involved and understands the objective, motivationis high and we all enjoy our work. Ultimately,this leads to greater efficiency, <strong>more</strong> satisfied clients andhigher profitability.”Diversity that unites and makes all the differenceThe strategy has been successful. <strong>Midroc</strong> is now a leadingplayer with operations in eight countries on threecontinents and an annual turnover of SEK 4 billion. Wehave carefully and strategically assembled the right mixof disciplines that enables us to carry out coordinatedprojects in different industries. Today, many of ourcompanies share clients. Our complementary expertiseenables us to contribute with added value to each other’sdeliveries, which gives us a unique competitive advantage.To build on our success we keep striving and investing towork together without prestige with the same language,processes and culture.“Much of our success comes from our tightly knitteams, where we benefit from our multitude of backgrounds,experiences and skills,” says Lina Knutsson, ProjectManager at <strong>Midroc</strong> Property Development. “Whilewe are different in many ways, it is always apparent thatall of <strong>Midroc</strong>’s employees and companies are part of thesame family. We are all goal-driven, passionate, and hardworking to make every project the best it can be. Beinga part of <strong>Midroc</strong> also means having access to valuablecommon resources, such as <strong>Midroc</strong> Business School. Inaddition to a great variety of training programs, it is alsoa great opportunity to develop a network of people fromdifferent companies within the group.”Client-oriented, professional and passionateSustainable solutions, increased competitiveness andimproved quality of life are the key elements of <strong>Midroc</strong>’svision. And it is our core values – client-orientation,06 | <strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012


ProfessionalismClient-orientationPassionprofessionalism and passion – that will guide us alongthe way. It is the dedicated people who share this passion,commitment and responsibility that have created a common<strong>Midroc</strong>. When everyone feels excited about going towork, we know we’re doing things right. And that’s whenwe can really make a difference for our clients.“When we established our South African branch andstarted to build the organization, we benefited greatlyfrom the experience of <strong>Midroc</strong> companies in severalother countries,” says Rick Ceronio, Managing Directorof Metalock Engineering South Africa. “I’ve had the opportunityto work for <strong>Midroc</strong> Metalock in both Germanyand the UK, and their expertise has helped us stay manysteps ahead of the competition. And having brought ourbusinesses closer together we now have an optimal setupfor knowledge sharing and cooperation. To me, that’swhat our values are all about. When we stick together,steer in the same direction and let our values guide ouractions, any obstacle is so much easier to overcome.”<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012 |07

Order bookingshave been good and although gross revenue has increasedcompared to last year, market competition has intensified.This has put pressure on price levels and reduced profitmargins, which is reflected in the lower result for 2012.The segment generated sales of SEK 3.5 billion andincome before appropriations and tax of SEK 124 million.Income before taxSEK Million3503002502001501005002008200920102011201208 | <strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012


MIDROC ELECTRO ABEmployees: 1,500Turnover: SEK 1.7 billionOffices: 43KARL-IVAR JÖNSSON<strong>Midroc</strong> Electro is one of Sweden’s leading companiesin electrical power and automation, delivering consulting,contracting and service in a number of fields,including industrial automation & IT, installation, elevators,building systems, crane systems, mechanicalwork and security.“2012 has been characterized by financial turbulence, ashrinking market and pressure on prices,” says Karl-IvarJönsson, MD. “Despite this we have been fairly successfuland our overall results were slightly better than expected.<strong>Midroc</strong> Electro’s strength and success factor is that we areestablished in <strong>more</strong> than 40 places around Sweden, withoperations in most fields.”As part of the company’s strategy to strengthen itsposition both geographically and technically, <strong>Midroc</strong>Electro acquired Browik AB, a comprehensive consulting,contracting and service company in the fields of electricalengineering, building systems and energy solutions.Metalock’s mechanical operations in Hofors were alsotransferred to <strong>Midroc</strong> Electro during 2012.“We are proud of being able to go against conventionallogic in the industry when our commitments alsoinclude mechanical and process equipment. This gives usa unique position in our markets. Our project ability alsoallows us to deliver entire projects, from start to finish.One indication of this and our strong position in mining,is our latest gigantic order for the Freeport Grasberg Minein Indonesia (see page 10),” says Karl-Ivar.A large project beginning in 2012 was the expansionof the Garpenberg mine. Boliden is making its biggestinvestment to date to increase ore production. The projectwill continue during 2013 and involves about 600people. <strong>Midroc</strong> Electro is responsible for all electricityabove ground for the new 21 acre industrial area that willemerge.Challenges for the company in 2013 will be to adaptoperations to the current economic climate so that profitabilityis maintained and to continue developing both thecompany’s project ability and operations in service andmaintenance, building systems and security.MIDROC PROJECTMANAGEMENT AB<strong>Midroc</strong> Project Management performs both consultingand contracting work in the industrial, energy and constructionsectors. The company has comprehensiveproject teams focused on environmental issues andnew technical solutions.Employees: 140Turnover: SEK 440 millionOffices: 4STEFAN KRONMAN“In construction, our focus this year has been on marketingand on building structural capital,” says StefanKronman, MD. “In Malmö we won prestigious contractsin both contracting and consulting. For instance, togetherwith <strong>Midroc</strong> Property Development we won two contractsfrom MKB for a total of 240 rental apartments inthe Sjöjungfrun and Bohus projects.”In the industrial and energy sectors it’s been businessas usual, with focus on implementing consulting assignmentsand marketing.“On the consulting side we won a strategic order asclient’s representative in LNG (liquefied natural gas),(read <strong>more</strong> on page 16). We are also focusing on newtechnology, with competence in energy technology andelectrical power technology and we are now establishedin Stenungsund. Internally, we are implementing a newbusiness system, AX, which gives us a <strong>more</strong> stable platformfor major assignments,” says Stefan.However, the result for 2012 was not up to expectations.“For the first time in many years we unfortunatelyhave a negative result. The main reason is two contractingassignments that have performed significantly worse thanbudget due to delays in construction starts. In consulting,on the other hand, we achieved our goals and have alsogained a number of new customers,” says Stefan.During 2013 the objective will be to win strategicorders in housing construction, continue developing theLNG venture together with other companies in the groupand get full effect from the new IT tools.“One of the biggest challenges for 2013 will be toperform the Preem stop project this autumn, the biggeststop project ever. This is an extremely complex projectwith about a thousand contractors performing service andmaintenance during a whole month. Establishing ourselvesas a strategic partner in the renewable energy fieldis another important goal,” Stefan concludes.<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012 |09


Business AreasSwedish mining solutionsturn to gold in IndonesiaFreeport-McMoRan, one of the world’s leading mineral mining companies, is planningfor underground ore transport in one of the company’s Indonesian mines. At the top oftheir wish list were solid experience and a proven concept. They found both in the farnorth of Sweden, where <strong>Midroc</strong> Electro and <strong>Midroc</strong> Automation have perfected processcontrol systems for Swedish iron ore producer LKAB.The Grasberg mine on Papua, Indonesia, is located 4,100meters above sea level and is considered the world’slargest gold deposit. It has been an open pit mine fordecades, but the plan now is for operations to proceedunderground. Freeport-McMoRan contacted <strong>Midroc</strong> inearly 2012, with a request for the same concept that hadbeen developed for LKAB – a process control system fortransport of newly extracted ore to the concentrator. Theconcept is developed by <strong>Midroc</strong> together with partnerBombardier Transportation.“The contract process was rapid and ran parallel topre-study engineering. The scope also included engineering,planning, electrical installations and power supply.LKAB is at the very forefront of this type of mining andtogether with them we have developed an efficient systemwith great consideration to both safety and the environment,”says Jonas Bergmark, General Manager at <strong>Midroc</strong>Automation.Value-adding adaptations for a different worldThe distance between Swedish Lapland and Indonesia isconsiderable – not just geographically, but also geologicallyand culturally. According to Jonas Bergmark, a numberof adaptations needed to be made to the original process.“The geological environment in Indonesia is much<strong>more</strong> aggressive and to prevent the equipment from eroding,everything needs to be corrosion resistant. On topof that, it rains five meters per year here and helicopter10 |<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012


transportation is only possible for a couple of hours inthe morning before the fog sets in. Then there are otherlocal circumstances such as malaria, snakes and heat. Allin all, it puts great demands on our efficiency, planning,materials and methods – and definitely requires us to stayon top of our game.”Many parts of Indonesia are largely unregulated andthe inhabitants in the mining area are used to being ableto pan for gold freely. To make sure the local communityisn’t affected negatively, <strong>Midroc</strong> sets aside two percent ofthe project’s net income for social purposes. The majorpart of it goes into educating local residents, with theultimate goal of providing them with work in the mines.And the process itself provides perhaps the greatest value,both in terms of sustainability and productivity.“Our rail-based method makes a big difference toboth environmental impact and profitability compared tothe diesel-consuming truck alternatives. With our provenconcept, Freeport-McMoRan gets world-class productivityand minimizes production losses in the transitionfrom open-pit to underground mining. The trains carrysignificantly <strong>more</strong> ore per transport, they are energy efficientand it is easy to adjust speeds, which is an importantsafety aspect,” says Jonas Bergmark.Courage, capacity and partnershipThe two <strong>Midroc</strong> companies are contracted until operationsare scheduled to start in 2016. But they havealready become an important partner to the client, andJonas Bergmark is certain that <strong>more</strong> stages and projectswill follow.“A project like this requires a large portion of businesscourage – the willingness to take on business that carriesrisks, but also opportunities for long-term high profitability.With our capacity to manage large, economicallyand socially demanding projects, and our ability to buildclose relations with our clients, we have optimal chancesof success. There are <strong>more</strong> deposits in this area, and ourstay here is projected until at least 2030.”<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012 |11


Business AreasALUCROM ABAlucrom is the largest anti-corrosion surface treatmentcontractor in Sweden and well-established in the steelcoating market. The company blasts and paints steelobjects in its own paint shops, while larger structuressuch as bridges and storage tanks are treated on-site.Employees: 230Turnover: SEK 230 millionPaint shops: 19RALPH HALLDIN2012 looked to be a fantastic year for Alucrom, Sweden’sbiggest company in corrosion protection painting andblasting, with many inquiries early on. But instead the airwent out of the market during the spring.“The first half of 2012 was well below expectations,”says Ralph Halldin, MD. “But then things got better andwe reached a positive result at the end of the year. Thegood thing about this development is that we are wellprepared for the possibility of a tough 2013. I feel confidentabout future challenges.”Alucrom made a strategic decision during the year todesign paint shops for the future, with the aim to moveto bigger units to lower operating costs, increase capacityand become <strong>more</strong> flexible.“Other areas we will focus on in 2013 will be to satisfythe requirements of our key customers and increase ourmarket share there. We will continue working with ourHSE initiative based on our OSHAS certification andwe intend to separate our different operations and focus<strong>more</strong> on contracting. To do this as effectively as possible,we have started up Alucrom Contracting AB,” says Ralph.The Polish operations continue to expand and two bigprojects that give a 30-40% increase in volumes are in thefinal stages.“We are following our plan to have five of our ownpaint shops in 2015. A third painting station was openedin eastern Poland in May. We have also started a productiondevelopment program, in parallel in both Swedenand Poland, for our 19 permanent paint shops, with theaim to find smart solutions for production improvements.This involves issues relating to personnel and workplace,as well as how to handle goods and production <strong>more</strong>effectively. We have every reason to celebrate in 2013, asAlucrom celebrates 60 years as a company and 10 years inPoland,” Ralph concludes.GP Ställningar ABGP Ställningar is a scaffolding contractor providingsafe and flexible scaffolding solutions. Clients areprimarily found in the process industry and civilconstruction on the west coast of Sweden.Employees: 35Turnover: SEK 30 millionOffices: 2RALPH HALLDIN“2012 was a tough year for GP Ställningar,” says RalphHalldin, MD. “We saw construction decrease with ourcustomers getting fewer projects and with <strong>more</strong> scaffoldingcompanies competing for smaller projects. Our result is notup to expectations, but reasonable under the circumstances.”During the year the team was strengthened with anew project manager and investments were made in bothmaterials and vehicles.“The challenge for 2013 will be to create full employmentfor all our staff, to monitor our key customers,making sure we fulfil their requirements and to becomean even better supplier. Above all we will look into biddingon a number of midsize projects in the Gothenburgregion and we will continue working with buildingup a new depot in Gothenburg for future growth,”says Ralph.12 |<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012


In 2013 Alucrom ABcelebrates 60 years asa company, making it oneof the oldest companiesin surface treatment andcorrosion protection.At the same time thecompany is celebratingten years in Poland,where it established itsfirst facility in 2003.<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012| A


Rodoverken ABRodoverken is a service and contracting companyspecializing in tank erection, pipe spool fabrication andpipework erection. Through its subsidiary SIM, Rodoverkenalso offers tanks and drums in stainless steel tothe Swedish pulp and paper industry.Employees: 250Turnover: SEK 500 millionOffices: 1Magnus DahlbergDuring 2012 Rodoverken worked intensively withorganizational development, recruiting a number of keypersonnel and initiating a detailed development packagethat continues into 2013.“Our entire organization is involved, everyone is contributingto our improvement program and understandthe direction we are taking,” says Magnus Dahlberg, MD.“It’s very stimulating to see the driving force at all levelsto become best in class and to be first choice for our customers.I am proud to lead this organization and we willcontinue along the path we have chosen.”In parallel with these internal activities, Rodoverkenhas also established itself on the Norwegian market aswell as in the LNG (liquefied natural gas) sector.“We have had two very successful projects in Norway.A big turnaround project for ExxonMobil that exceeded expectationswith twice the expected turnover. We are now thecustomer’s first choice as they now hire us to do a large partof the fixed maintenance. Our commitment to the LNG sectorhas also given results. It’s a strength that we can maintaina strong position on the domestic market, while at the sametime bring in orders in new markets,” says Magnus.One of the main challenges for the company in the nearfuture is to continue with the Norwegian venture as themarket is strong there. For accumulator tanks the focuswill be on a number of countries in northern Europewhere the market for accumulator tanks for district heatingis strong.“Our unique construction method along with severalongoing European projects will have a ripple effect onthese markets. Our LNG project in Lysekil is an importantreference, giving us the opportunity to win <strong>more</strong>similar orders. Another challenge in 2013 will be theturnaround project for Preem, their biggest stop ever.During 6-8 weeks Rodoverken will perform a large partof the maintenance work being done at the refinery,” saysMagnus.“Our result for 2012 is reasonable, but we are not satisfiedin spite of a strong finish. Going into 2013 we havewell-filled order books in both the tank and piping areas.That, together with a cost reduction program, allows meto look forward to 2013 with confidence. At Rodoverkenwe don’t see the clouds in the sky that you read about inthe papers, we only see the opportunities,” says Magnus.<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012| 15


Business AreasStepping on the gaswith efficient andsustainable solutionsAs the search for <strong>more</strong> environmentally sustainable fuels intensifies, interest in liquefiednatural gas (LNG) has surged. Norwegian LNG producer and supplier Skangass hasgiven Rodoverken a contract to construct Sweden’s largest cryogenic tank for LNG.<strong>Midroc</strong> Project Management is at the same time given the role in Skangass’ projectdevelopment team to follow up the Engineering, procurement and installation (EPCI)contract.LNG is methane gas that has been condensed to liquidform for <strong>more</strong> volume efficient storage and transport. As asubstitute for other fossil fuels such as oil and coal, naturalgas has two attractive properties – at combustion it emitslower levels of carbon dioxide and handling is <strong>more</strong> costefficient.With such competitive edges, LNG has becomeone of the most rapidly growing energy alternatives throughoutthe world. Traded volumes have increased <strong>more</strong> than fivetimes since the 1990’s to just over 240 million tons.Benefitting from this surge in demand, Norwegian LNGproducer Skangass is investing in new facilities. In Lysekilin southwestern Sweden, Skangass is currently buildingthe country’s biggest LNG terminal to date – a cryogenictank with a capacity of 30,000 cubic meters, adjacent toend-customer Preem’s refinery.“Rodoverken have the most extensive experience oftank construction in LNG projects in the Nordic market,with references in Sweden, Norway, Spain and Germany.16 | <strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012


And experience is key in these advanced constructions,particularly when taking the overall responsibility,” saysPär Hedendahl, Business Area Manager at Rodoverken.Time is of the essenceThe project started in early 2012 with full focus on detaildesign and main equipment purchasing. Rodoverken hasfinalized the work on the bottom slab. During twelvedays a 60-centimeter thick outer tank has thenbeen slip-formed in one piece. Accordingto Pär, time-efficiency is one of the mostimportant success factors.“Construction of cryogenic tanks arecomplex and time-consuming projects.One of the main reasons we got thecontract is our combination of experience,project capacity and our own,time-efficient method. Normally, theconstruction takes two years. We are ableto cut this time by up to six months. It’s anexceptionally safe method as well. All parts aremounted from the ground, without any scaffolding, andthen gradually rotated upwards. And most of the operationsare automated. For example, there is minimum ofmanual welding involved.”Cooperation for full potentialThe new terminal in Lysekil is a significant investmentfor Skangass, but one that makes perfect sense whenconsidering the positive market outlook for LNG. Forend-customer Preem, substituting oil with LNG in itsproduction processes can potentially save the company asmuch as SEK 200 million annually. The environmentalbenefits are equally impressive – the refinery will emit approximately130,000 tons less carbon dioxide each year.Key issues are in detailing and <strong>Midroc</strong> Project Managementhas played a vital part in perfecting the process inorder for the project to reach its full potential even forthe refinery.“Our close cooperation with Skangass has enabledmany improvements. At the start of the project wehad to ensure the adequacy of the technicalfeatures and at the same time coordinatePreem’s demands with the prerequisitesfor the construction. For example, whenunloading LNG from ships an increasedamount of “boil-off” gas has to be takencare of to avoid the risk of emitting hydrocarbons,which is only allowed in caseof emergency. One of our most importantcontributions has been to define the requirementsfor systems that can solve this issueboth safely and effectively,” says Joakim Ramsberg,Project Manager at <strong>Midroc</strong> Project Management.The tank in Lysekil is to be completed and operationalby 2014. That is, however, by no means the end of<strong>Midroc</strong>’s LNG journey.“The success of these projects depends on mutualtrust, respect and ability to create effective work concepts.We have formed close relations with Skangass, as wellas with all other involved contractors. LNG is and willcontinue to be a fast growing market in Scandinavia –and we are already in discussions for future projects withvarious clients,” says Pär Hedendahl.<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012 |17


Business AreasBAC Corrosion Control Ltd andRCSL Corrosion MonitoringBased in the UK, BAC Corrosion Control is a marketleader in cathodic protection and pin brazing electricalbonding, working in the international oil, gas, power,civil and utility industries and the marine sectors.Employees: 40Turnover: SEK 61 millionOffices: 2Tony GerrardDuring 2012, BAC Corrosion Control (BAC) acquired100% of the shares in Rose Corrosion Services (RCSLCorrosion Monitoring, RCSL). RCSL specializes in internalcorrosion monitoring of closed pipeline and vessel systemsin the oil, gas and water industries with the manufacture ofpressure systems that allow the installation and removal ofcorrosion probes and weight loss coupons.“Last year we worked with integrating RCSL intoBAC systems, culminating in moving manufacturing andassembly of components to Telford and opening a salesoffice in managed facilities in Swindon, Wiltshire,” saysTony Gerrard, MD.BAC completed a large project in 2012 with the DisiWater Conveyance Project in Jordan.

Business AreasGreater focus on sustainability“During the year we implemented extensive personneltraining in ecological sustainability covering such thingsas energy, systems and materials selection,” says MagnusSkiöld. “We have also initiated development of a conceptwe call Naturally Sustainable. This includes social andeconomic aspects of sustainability and during 2013 wewill continue to develop the concept and further trainour employees. The aim is to get closer to our vision – tocontribute to a better future.”Magnus Skiöld and Peter SyrénHighlights from 2012“We did very well in 2012, which is most satisfying giventhat we are experiencing a recession,” says Magnus Skiöld,MD, MPD. “We expected a difficult year but we achieveda good result. Most of our business is in Skåne, right in themiddle of a dynamic region with great confidence in thefuture. This gives us excellent opportunities to continuedeveloping our project development business. At thesame time we have experienced declining demand for newhousing, as have our competitors. The housing market isaffected very strongly by the general economic situationand we expect things to be slow in 2013 as well.”<strong>Midroc</strong> has constructed 108 light and spacious tenantownedapartments in the expansive Western Harbourregion in Malmö, with a fine view over the ÖresundBridge. After a couple of years’ construction, a whole newneighbourhood is ready and the first families have movedinto their new homes.In April work started on the new World Trade CenterLund development area. Hotel Park Inn by Radisson with192 rooms on 10 floors will be first. World Trade Centeris based on a strong tradition of meetings between people,companies and ideas – locally and over national borders.The hotel with restaurant and conference center will playan important role in World Trade Center Lund.During the year MPD has also completed two apartmentbuildings with both rental and tenant-owned apartmentsin Helsingborg, which have been well-received in anotherwise difficult housing market.Some years ago <strong>Midroc</strong> was commissioned to transformLomma center and the first stage was completed in 2009.During 2012, construction of stages 2 and 3 began. Whenthe whole project is completed in 2014, an entirely newcenter will have been built, with about 100 apartments and6,000 m 2 of retail space. The result will be a modern, urbanbut still small-scale central district with a mixture of housingand shops that will generate <strong>more</strong> activity and commercewith a higher level of well-being and security than before.Modern office space attracts new tenantsThe demand for modern and flexible office solutions isincreasing. New demands are being made on the workingenvironment and younger employees, who have grown upin an online world, demand to be continually connectedboth to the web and to company networks. Many companiesalso want to manifest their brand in their office design,which leads to further development and customization oftheir premises.“The extensive renovations of both Tändstickspalatseton Västra Trädgårdsgatan and the Jakob Mindre buildingon Gustav Adolfs torg in Stockholm were very welltimed,” says Peter Syrén, MD of <strong>Midroc</strong> Real Estate. “Thishas given us the opportunity to gain new customers, suchas for example The Boston Consulting Group, Bizkit andProtector Insurance.”A trend in the sector is the development of office spacetailored to suit company and employee activities, knownas activity-based workplaces. This means that workplaceplanning is based on the different tasks and activities thatwill take place, instead of assuming that a large number offixed, individual workstations is required.“Many companies understand the importance ofcreating spaces for social interaction, which increases opportunitiesfor spontaneous encounters and exchanges ofexperience,” Peter Syrén says. “This means that taking thesocial consequences of design of the physical environmentinto account becomes <strong>more</strong> and <strong>more</strong> important. This is anarea of expertise we must master.”Investments for a better environment“We are continually making investments in our propertiesto decrease the burden on the environment,” Peter adds.“Above all modifications to heating, ventilation and coolingsystems. New systems that cooperate with each other andadapt themselves according to the load. Air flow, heatingand cooling are supplied only where needed, which reducesconsumption while at the same time creating a better indoorclimate. During the year we made a number of largeinvestments and are planning <strong>more</strong> for 2013. Investmentssuch as these often pay for themselves within five years.”22 | <strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012

Business AreasBUSINESS AREANew Technologies<strong>Midroc</strong> New Technology (MNT) is the <strong>Midroc</strong> venture capital company working withnew innovative technologies. Its mission is to provide equity capital for carefullyselected high-risk business opportunities. To increase the chances of successfuldevelopment of the portfolio companies, MNT’s philosophy is to take significant andactive responsibility as owner by offering its portfolio companies assistance withmanagement, business strategies and access to excellence.MNT focuses on potentially groundbreaking technologiesand business concepts in emerging sectors. Two areas oftechnology are of particular interest to MNT - clean technologyand the life sciences, and the portfolio companieswork in fields ranging from biomedicine to alternativeenergy sources.The timing and method of returning invested capitalare important considerations for MNT as for any venturecapitalist. Exits will take place at the point in time whena portfolio company has proven itself and developedenough to allow sale to a new ownership structure thatis industrially logical and justified, meaning for instancea new phase of development,rationalizations,synergies, restructuringor expansion.“The common denominatoris the innovative,sometimes even revolutionary,nature of theventures that can contributeto making the world abetter place. MNT is oneof the few market playersGöran LinderMNT’s portfolio company Crossborder Technologieshas developed a new modular metal pallet system, incooperation with customers and partners. The newmetal pallets have clear competitive advantages whencompared to traditional wooden pallets. They areweather resistant, durable, fireproof, resistant to oilsand chemicals as well as being 100% recyclable. Theyalso have low weight and a long life cycle. During 2012Crossborder secured SEK 12.5 million in financingprior to the planned market launch of their new palletsystem in highly durable sheet metal.24 |<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012


MNT’s portfolio company Pergamum has anumber of well-developed research projectsinto peptides that can knock out resistantbacteria through local application when treatingwounds and infections. Pergamum has atpresent three therapeutic peptides that havereached clinical stage. Having several projectsso far developed in clinical trials is unique. Atthe end of 2012 Pergamum reported positivePhase II data concerning clinical trials in outerear infections. The results indicate that a peptidecan play an important role in treatmentsof infections of the outer ear.that enter development projects at a very early and thereforeat a financially risky stage,” says Göran Linder, CEO.“Often innovative companies in these areas are smallstart-ups, and MNT’s role is therefore to understand andsupport the prime movers behind these companies. Byinvesting in these companies, MNT, with its market recognition,is giving them a stamp of approval in the eyesof future investors.”After the initial years of operation, MNT can notethat several of the portfolio companies now have reacheda commercial position which makes them suitable fordivestment for further development by others. As anexample, 2012 brought the exit of the assets of the Swedishportfolio company Jensen Devices, specialized inhigh performance gas discharge tube technology. It wasdivested to electronic component manufacturer BournsInc., thus bringing the unique technology of Jensen Devicesto the global automotive market.“I am very proud that our portfolio companies repeatedlyreceive goodwill and recognition from a number ofindependent entities. It positions MNT as a seed investorwith multi-award winning investments and as a preferredpartner with an interesting portfolio,” Göran Linder continues.“This is a tough arena to operate in and not everyinvestment leads to success. But our performance scorecard puts us in the very top layer among seed investors.”Looking forward into 2013, MNT expects to continuethe divestment of portfolio companies that havereached a suitable level of stability and commercializationbut the prevailing global financial unease has clearly ledto pre-revenue funding in general becoming <strong>more</strong> difficultto find as many investors are shifting preferences andinstead investing at later stages.“Superior technologies do not automatically attract investorsor acquirers, but MNT’s active portfolio managementhas to date facilitated both fund raising and successfulexits. The MNT business model is viable, and we willcontinue to develop and explore investments in our focusareas. In essence, we look forward to 2013 with bothanticipation and excitement,” Göran Linder concludes.<strong>Midroc</strong> Europe Annual Review 2012 | 25
