Tata Technologies says it has taken the step to expand its presence in Sweden due to the strong growth opportunity in the region in both the automotive and industrial machinery sectors.

Escenda has more than 150 engineers and the company’s revenue has grown by approximately 230% across the last four years. The company has a long relationship with Volvo Cars.
Following the acquisition, Escenda Engineering AB is to be established as a 100% subsidiary of Tata Technologies Europe Limited. The company will maintain the same management team and full workforce under the new ownership.
The acquisition is an essential component in Tata Technologies’ European growth strategy and follows the recent $26mn (SEK234mn) investment in the development of a new European Innovation and Development Centre in the UK.
