Ericsson, Ikea or Autoliv are some of the main names in the Swedish company’s client portfolio.
RDT announces the integration of Swedish firm WeITGlobal into its structure, a strategic move that strengthens the company’s position in Europe and expands its reach in the Scandinavian market. The acquisition, formalised by the end of 2024, allows RDT to add new capabilities and consolidate its offering of consulting, outsourcing and specialised IT resourcing solutions.
Headquartered in Lund, Sweden, WeITGlobal has emerged as a key player in the Swedish market since its founding just four years ago. The company has a client portfolio that includes big names such as Ericsson, IKEA and Autoliv, and has demonstrated a remarkable ability to develop and adapt in a highly competitive technological environment. This success reflects the shared values between the two organisations, focused on excellence, innovation and continuous growth.
International expansion and impact
The integration of WeITGlobal into RDT is a significant step in the internationalisation strategy of the integrated engineering solutions firm. With a strong presence in Denmark since 2019, RDT has consolidated its position in the Nordic region, and now extends this success to Sweden, one of Europe’s most technologically advanced economies. In addition to its operations in Sweden, WeITGlobal brings a team and infrastructure also present in Denmark and India, strengthening the group’s international reach and its ability to offer comprehensive and global solutions to its clients.
‘The acquisition of WeITGlobal is a key step in our strategy to consolidate RDT as a leader in engineering and technology solutions in Northern Europe,’ says Christian Thorn, head of RDT Denmark. ‘The shared vision and values of both organisations will be instrumental in maximising our impact in the region and opening up new opportunities in the global marketplace,’ he adds.
John Helt, founder of WeITGlobal, also shared his perspective on the integration: ‘We are delighted to be part of RDT. This union not only represents a great opportunity to take our solutions and expertise to a new level, but also to expand our capabilities across RDT’s global network. We are committed to making this integration a success for all our employees, customers and partners’.
Leadership and organisational structure
To ensure a smooth transition and strengthen operations in Scandinavia, Christian Thorn, currently RDT’s Country Manager in Denmark, will take over the management of operations in Sweden. WeITGlobal CEO John Helt will become Nordic Key Account Manager. This leadership model ensures close collaboration between the Swedish and Danish teams, enhancing synergy between the two organisations and optimising impact in the region.
Thorn’s role will be key to coordinating the integration of the teams and aligning operations with the group’s strategic objectives. ‘WeITGlobal’s experience and positioning will greatly facilitate the strengthening of RDT in such a demanding market as Scandinavia; this agreement is undoubtedly excellent news that puts us in front of exciting challenges and opportunities,’ says Thorn.
A promising future
The integration also reflects RDT’s commitment to engineering and technology excellence, while underscoring its ability to adapt and grow in highly competitive international markets.
In addition, RDT’s expansion into Sweden strengthens the group’s service offering, enabling the company to meet the demands of a broader and more diverse customer base. This includes the ability to offer customised and scalable IT consulting solutions, as well as greater flexibility to tackle complex technology and engineering projects.
RDT currently employs more than 1800 people in the main countries in which it operates: Spain, France, UK, Denmark, Portugal, Morocco and Mexico, and now Sweden as well. The company, founded in 2006, has reached this year a turnover of 120 million euros and confirms an average annual business growth of 18% in the last almost two decades of activity.
