Home About SKB Organisation

The Head Office is located in Solna.

Six hundred employees in multiple locations

Today SKB employs a staff of nearly 600. We collaborate extensively with experts and free-lancers outside the company. If these are included, just over 800 people are occupied with the disposal of waste from Sweden’s nuclear power plants.

SKB’s head office is located in Arenastaden, Solna. We also have offices at Oskarshamn and Forsmark/Östhammar, where SKB has facilities and operates in various ways to prepare for the construction of the Final Repository for Spent Nuclear Fuel. The organisation is adapted to give SKB good conditions for implementing the coming major construction projects.

Subsidiaries

SKB also has two subsidiaries: SKB International AB and SKB Näringslivsutveckling AB (SKB Nu). For the last 30 years SKB International has been providing consultancy services in other countries based on the expertise that has been developed in the Swedish nuclear waste programme. SKB Nu was established within the framework of the agreement on added value signed between SKB, our owners and the municipalities of Oskarshamn and Östhammar. The aims of the company are to develop new and existing companies in the two municipalities.
