Congrex Sweden AB and SKD Euroconf AB are set to join forces as part of a strategic plan to form a comprehensive meetings, conference and events company.

The managing director for the new group will be Antonio Gozzo, former managing director of Congrex Sweden and SKD Euroconf managing director Christina Tannlund will help secure a smooth operation during the next coming months.

“To be part of the creation of one of Sweden’s most successful meetings and events companies has been a truly exciting journey. After 30 years with SKD Euroconf, the time has come to hand over to Antonio Gozzo to lead the planned expansion into Europe and globally,” said Tannlund.

Meanwhile, Gozzo commented: “We see great potential in the new organisation and are planning to continue growth to meet the demand for creative and efficient meetings solutions in the future. To develop Sweden’s largest player in the meetings industry and take the business to the next level is something I very much look forward to."

Last year's total turnover of Congrex Sweden and SKD Euroconf was €48 million.
