Evolver Fund I has been the majority owner of Inprocon since May 2019. During Evolver’s ownership the company has more than tripled its revenues, conducted several add-on acquisitions and expanded operations to cover all of Sweden. Today, the Inprocon Group, comprising Maxcon AB, A-Sprinkler AB and FireTech Engineering emron AB, has around 160 employees at 13 locations across Sweden and is widely recognized as one of the leading fire protection solutions providers in Sweden. Inprocon generated annual sales of SEK 320m in FY2022.
The new owner is VINCI Energies, part of the VINCI Group – a global leader in concessions and contracting, employing over 272,000 employees in almost 120 countries – creating bespoke multi-technical solutions and services for energy, transport and communication infrastructure, as well as buildings, factories and IT systems.

VINCI Energies’ teams roll out technologies and integrate customised multi-technical solutions, from design to implementation, operation and maintenance. Inprocon will be integrated into the Fire Protection Solutions Group, part of the Building Solutions Network of VINCI Energies.
“Evolver has been a highly-valued partner for us in building Inprocon into what it is today. Their dedication, industry knowledge and hands-on support throughout our journey has been indispensable for me and my team. Now we are ready to take the next step, and I am happy to continue this journey together with VINCI Energies. With their industry expertise and financial strength, I am convinced that they are the perfect partner and new home for us as we head into the future”, says Kenneth Askeblad, Group CEO.
Peter Lindström, Partner at Evolver Equity, comments: “Evolver partnered with Kenneth and his team in 2019. The spark for the partnership was Kenneth’s vision of what a modern fire protection solutions provider should look like. Together we saw the opportunity to leverage Maxcon’s operational excellence as a platform for consolidation, service development and geographic expansion. On behalf of the Evolver team, I would like to thank Inprocon’s management and personnel for their dedication and hard work. It has been a privilege to support them on this journey. We look forward to following the company’s continued success as part of VINCI Energies.”
