The IT company, formerly Nethouse, said the growth is driven by demand for secure IT as more businesses explore AI, [news.cision.com](https://news.cision.com/nordlo/r/ai-drives-demand-for-nordlo-in-karlstad---plans-to-increase-number-of-consultants-by-60-percent,c4422692) reported on November 11, 2026.\n\n## Nordlo's Karlstad Recruitment Target\n\nNordlo is primarily looking for experienced technical consultants with expertise in cybersecurity, cloud services and IT infrastructure. The company said 22 employees currently work at its office in the Inre Hamn area of Karlstad.\n\n\"We are seeing strong interest from businesses looking to harness the potential of AI. But first, they need to strengthen control over their IT environments. This is driving increased demand for our specialist expertise,\" said Eric Ceder, Business Unit Manager at Nordlo in Karlstad.\n\nCeder said competition for IT talent in the region is fierce and that high employee satisfaction helps the company attract new talent, including professionals from other companies in the industry. He also said Nordlo helps customers establish guidelines and processes so new applications can be developed and deployed securely.\n\nKarlstad-based [Byggbeslag](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000bljy/byggbeslag), which supplies locks, security solutions and interior fittings to the construction and property sectors, has partnered with Nordlo on IT operations and cybersecurity since 2020. Bernt Gustavsson, IT Manager at Byggbeslag, said AI tools let the company move more quickly from idea to implementation but place greater demands on security and control.\n\n## Nordlo's Nethouse Acquisition and Scale\n\nNordlo acquired Nethouse in June 2026, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), positioning it to become a leading IT security services provider and adding dedicated security depth to its managed services portfolio. The same records list 2025 revenue of SEK 2.54 billion with a 15 percent profit margin, with all growth coming organically from existing customer relationships.\n\n[Nordlo Group](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0006akw/nordlo-group) is a Nordic IT services provider delivering managed services and full IT outsourcing to SMEs and mid-market customers across Sweden and Norway, built on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 with 40 or more local offices and about 1,000 employees. The company was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Stockholm.\n\n## Nordlo's Recent Contract Wins\n\nIn November 2026, Nordlo secured a renewed contract to manage IT operations for the Norwegian government agency Norec for up to eight years, news.cision.com reported. The agreement runs for four years with an option to extend for four more.\n\nIn September 2026, Swedish facilities services company Miab signed a strategic IT partnership with Nordlo for IT operations, support and licence management. In August 2026, Nordlo appointed Mikael Andersson as business developer at its Halmstad office, aiming to raise revenue there from SEK 20.3 million to nearly SEK 50 million within two years.\n\n## Nordlo's Two-Year Hiring Window\n\nNordlo aims to recruit the additional Karlstad employees over the next two years, with the office targeted to reach 35 employees in that period.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
