Our history and values
Tyréns was founded in 1942 by Sven Tyrén – a visionary engineer who strived for development and innovation.
He successfully developed a structural engineering business in Sweden based on an inquisitive approach and a desire to have a positive impact on society.
The Sven Tyrén Foundation (Sven Tyréns Stiftelse, or STS) was established in 1976 as the sole owner of Tyréns.
The foundation documents state that: “ The purpose of the foundation is … to promote the development of building technology”.
In 2011, UK-based AKT II was acquired, followed by Hilson Moran in 2017.
In 2018, Lithuanian Kelprojektas was acquired, now Tyréns in Lithuania. The same year, the Tyréns Group was established, to enable growth in our international setting.
