The company quickly diversified, and within ten years the now fully-fledged construction company received its first international orders, as well as playing a key role in building Sweden's infrastructure. In 1984 the company changed its name to Skanska.
In the mid 1900's, the company was also established as a developer of commercial properties and residential projects such as apartment houses and single-family homes. The company was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange A-list in 1965.
During the 1990s, Skanska initiated its most expansive phase ever, with sales doubling in only a few years. While the major portion of this growth was organic, a string of successful acquisitions also paved the way for Skanska's growth into a global company. Today, the company focuses on construction operations and development of Commercial, Residential and PPP-projects in selected home markets in the Americas, Europe and the Nordics.
Skanska is in the Romanian market since 2011.
