GMAB
Götaverken was founded in 1841 and produced ships, boilers, diesel engines and even aeroplanes. Götaverken Miljö AB (GMAB) was founded in 1988 as a spin-off from Götaverken Energy Systems. The first major project were compression heat pumps at GRYAB and three lines of wet flue gas treatment with flue gas condensation in 1988 at GRAAB, both in Göteborg. This was the world’s first flue gas condensation plant in a Waste-to-Energy plant. GMAB was acquired by Sjätte AP-fonden in 1998. In 2010, Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S acquired GMAB, integrating it into their environmental solutions portfolio. In 2024, GMAB was acquired by AUCTUS Capital Partners AG and partners with SPIG SpA. GMAB is known for its advanced flue gas cleaning systems and technologies and has a strong focus on developing and commercializing new technologies, and have worked with several Universities and Research institutes in the pursuit of constantly reducing emissions and environmental footprint. The collaboration has resulted in a long range of innovative technologies.
