 NNE Pharmaplan has a strong position on the Nordic clean room market and the operation is specialized in their own solutions, i.e. Clean Plus®, Clean Seal®, Carmetic® and also total solutions for lab and clean room business.

 - The acquisition of the clean room business from NNE is perfectly in line with our strategy to offer the market an even stronger and wider partner in clean room installations and lab projects. By incorporating the NNE clean room department in YIT we also mark our commitment regarding complete deliveries within all technical disciplines, says Fredrik Sederholm CEO of YIT Sverige AB.

 NNE Pharmaplans clean room department has a large and wide customer base mostly from drug, biotech and medicine technical companies and it offers, just like already existing YIT Cleanroom department, a complete delivery of clean room, from design and installation to long term service agreement. With the acquisition, YIT Cleanroom is strengthening its position as the competence centre regarding clean rooms within the YIT Group.

 - Through a co-operation with a well established and wide installation company - YIT - we can significantly strengthen and improve our offering to our customers. NNE Pharmaplan will continue to focus on consulting and engineer services to the life science sector in Sweden, says Hanno Lindroth CEO of NNE Pharmaplan.
