“Stenentreprenader complements S:t Eriks’ current offering of natural stone products extremely well. In addition to a general strengthening of the market position and offering, Stenentreprenader can also install and lay flooring in the natural stone supplied by S:t Eriks. This business was previously outsourced.”
