Welcome Niklas Bergman - new head of Ibeco Rental

We are delighted to welcome Niklas Bergman as the new head of Ibeco Rental. With extensive experience of water issues, organisation and business development, Niklas moves on from previous roles as managing director and production manager. Going forward, the focus is firmly on growth and development - of the rental offering, the depots and the staff
He is a technology enthusiast with a flair for organisational and business development. With a passion for people's wellbeing and technology, Niklas is looking forward to his new role, bringing with him many years of relevant experience. Niklas has worked in the water and pump industry since 2013, has been involved in hydropower and environmental issues, and has also worked in the steel industry for many years. The common thread running through his career is leadership and the development of people. Now that Ibeco Rental is set to scale up, these skills will come in very useful. I'm passionate about people's wellbeing within the organisation - I get energy from building a strong organisation where people feel good, have good benefits and everyone is involved. After his years at two of the sister companies within Uniwater, Dala Kommunalteknik and Norvatek, Niklas has a strong grasp of flow calculations and pressure for reliable water and wastewater facilities.

The technology is very similar whether it's pumps or hydropower plants. I've also always had a strong interest in technology. I love taking things apart to see how they work and learning new things, whether it's gadgets or computer programming.

Increased demand for circular offerings drives growth and innovation
Niklas Bergman will lead the development of Ibeco Rental, part of Ibeco's core business. Ibeco offers direct sales of products for water infrastructure, equipment rental and rental in contracting form. Renting rather than owning is an example of circular practice, helping to reduce resource use and climate impact. Demand is increasing and Ibeco Rental has seen strong growth in recent years. The company is continually expanding its rental range, and in 2023 it had more and longer rental projects than ever before. The growing demand is most noticeable in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Skåne.

Rental of equipment and products - a two-part offering
First, there is the regular rental of products and equipment for water and wastewater and plumbing and heating, such as machinery, pumps and welding containers. Rental of trench shields, or sheet piling, is one example of a product valued by many customers. This product is beneficial both in terms of the environment and personal safety. See image and description below.  

The second strand of the rental offering, which accounts for the larger part of the business, is rental for specific projects. Here, Ibeco is involved throughout the entire contract, from calculation, technical solution and installation to service and maintenance over the course of the project.

All depots are set to grow  
As the rental offering grows, this places demands on the development of the depots in Borlänge, Gothenburg and Stockholm, both in terms of capacity and catchment area, which will also mean a need for new recruitment in the coming years. Niklas is looking forward to the journey ahead. 

Ibeco's products and offering have a large market across the whole of the Nordic region. With committed staff, we can go as far as we want. It's great fun to be part of a business that is growing, and that has such an exciting journey ahead of it.
