The engineering consultancy group XPartners continues its growth journey and now welcomes the Danish company PLH Architecture & Design. Through the acquisition, XPartners strengthens its offering within architecture, design and sustainable urban development, while PLH gains access to a broader network and new opportunities to develop both its offering and its employees.
PLH is one of Denmark's leading architectural firms, with a strong brand in the Nordics and Europe. The company was founded in 1977 and has from the start shaped buildings and environments with sustainability, aesthetics and function at its core. Today, it has around 250 employees and offers comprehensive architectural services and all the skills required to participate in all stages of architectural and design projects - from early sketches and master plans to new construction and transformation of existing buildings - PLH is an obvious partner for both private and institutional and public clients.
– We are very proud that PLH has chosen to join XPartners. They share our belief that entrepreneurial spirit, sustainability and collaboration are the foundation for future social development. With their expertise, position and corporate culture, we further strengthen our position in the Danish market, says Sonny Mirborn, CEO at XPartners.
Behind PLH stands one of Denmark's largest creative and interdisciplinary teams of specialists in architecture, interior design, landscape, user processes and sustainability. Through close and solution-oriented collaboration with their customers, they develop environments where people thrive, develop and perform – always with a focus on design, function and long-term value. According to XPartner's business model, PLH will continue to operate under its own name, with the same management, employees and culture as before.
– We are incredibly excited about this fantastic opportunity! By joining XPartners, we get the chance to grow further on our own terms – with preserved culture and identity, but with the strength of a larger context behind us. We look forward to becoming part of the platform and together creating even greater value for our customers, says Soren Molbak, CEO at PLH Architecture & Design.
The acquisition is subject to approval from local authorities and is expected to be completed within the next few months.
