History
editUnder the name Birch & Krogboe the company was founded in 1912 as the first consulting engineering company in Denmark. The founders were the two engineers Ludvig Birch and Jacob O. Pedersen Krogboe. In the early years the company dealt primarily with the construction of hospitals and residential buildings, including Gentofte Hospital and Rigshospitalet. Today, Alectia participates in the building projects Urban Mediaspace[3] and Navitas Park,[4] in Aarhus, Odense Research and Knowledge Park and Copenhagen Bio Science Park (COBIS).[5]
In 2008, the company changed its name to Alectia. This was part of a strategic acquisitions process, which took place primarily in Denmark:
- 2005: Danbrew
- 2006: Dansk Arbejdsmiljø and Byggeriets Arbejdsmiljøcenter Danmark
- 2007: Jobliv Danmark, Watertech and MA Project
- 2008: Penborn Technical Services (UK)
- 2009: Maersk Construction and Tano FoodCon Group
- 2011: Logisys and Healthy Company
