Ruukki has been awarded a contract to deliver the steel frame for the new NOD center to be built at Kista, north of Stockholm.
The NOD center is to serve as a new meeting place for learning, research, business and culture. The premises will comprise around 15,000 square meters spread over 7-11 stories. The location will house, among others, companies, research activities, restaurants and cafés, and users will include the University of Stockholm. The contract is valued at around EUR 3 million.
"Sweden is an important market area for us and one where Ruukki is already a recognized steel construction expert," said Sami Eronen SVP, Building Projects at Ruukki. “Good cooperation with construction companies and designers on the Swedish market together with a constantly growing number of impressive, demanding local steel structure projects — such as the Swedbank Arena, scheduled for completion this autumn — has given us an opportunity to further strengthen our foothold in the market.”
The project investor is Atrium Ljungberg and Ruukki's customer is Strängbetong. Ruukki's deliveries will start in August this year and installation is scheduled for completion in March 2013. The entire building will be completed in 2014.
Ruukki provides its customers with energy-efficient steel solutions for better living, working and moving. Ruukki operates in some 30 countries and employs around 11,800 people. Net sales in 2011 totaled EUR 2.8 billion.
