Rejler Group
Rejlers turns 70
Rejlers was founded in Småland in 1942, and has been active as an engineering consultancy firm ever since. A common thread has run through our operations over the years: electrical engineering in various forms. Everything from nuclear power to electronics. Over the years, Rejlers has expanded into new areas of expertise such as telecommunications, mechanical engineering and IT.
The company was founded by the former CEO Peter Rejlers’ grandfather Gunnar Rejler over 70 years ago. Jan Rejler served as President between them. Eva Nygren took over as CEO in May 2012. The company has retained the character of a family business despite the fact that its ownership base was expanded through a public share offering in 2003.
In broad outline, the company's business has run alongside Sweden's development as an industrial nation. Initially, the company was active in the expansion of the electricity supply network in Sweden. After that, the company’s employees participated in the nation’s industrialisation and the mass housing initiative referred to as the Million Programme. Railway and telecommunications were added during the 1990s and 2000s. Environmental technology is being developed as a separate expertise during the 2010s. During the 2000s, Rejlers diversified geographically to include operations in Finland, Norway, Estonia and Russia.

Goals and customer strategy
During 2010, Rejlers set up a new growth target of at least 2015 staff and a revenue of at least SEK 2015 million by 2015. At the end of Q1 2012, the Group, including the partially-owned subsidiary Rejlers Consulting AS, had approximately 1,500 employees. In 2011, the Group had revenue of approximately SEK 1,150.0 million. The objectives entail growth in the number of employees of approximately 12% per year, as well as revenue growth of just over 15% per year. Rejlers’ domestic markets are Sweden, Finland and Norway, with the rest of the Nordic region and the Baltic States as its growth markets.
