”The year 2023 was marked by a divided market. The dramatically diminished housing market affected Peab’s housing construction while public building construction, civil engineering and paving continued to develop well. This demonstrates the strength in our broad business model with its four business areas and local roots close to customers”, says Jesper Göransson, President and CEO of Peab.
