About GroundBirds

Integrated Infrastructure Partners

GroundBirds brings together specialized companies committed to strengthening the infrastructure sector. By combining expertise in asphalt maintenance, road marking, traffic management, road safety, lighting and asset management, we build a strong network of leading specialists. We believe that the challenges facing the infrastructure sector can only be met through collaboration. By bringing together knowledge, driving innovation and leveraging our collective investment capacity, we empower our companies to grow and excel, while preserving the entrepreneurial spirit, expertise and craftsmanship that make each of them unique.

What we stand for

At GroundBirds, a number of core principles form thefoundation of how we work, collaborate, and build sustainable value. They guideour decisions and ensure a recognizable culture across all our companies. 

Entrepreneurship is central to this. We encourage initiative and ownership within clear frameworks, so that people can truly build and improve based on their own responsibility. Our strength lies in specialization. With in-depth expertise in asphalt, road marking, trafficmanagement, and data, we deliver work that stands as solid as a rock. In doing so, we take responsibility for everything we do. Safety, quality, and financial discipline are our guiding principles and are non-negotiable. Our operating companies operate autonomously and have the freedom to act independently, with a strongfocus on results and continuity. We are results-oriented and build on predictable performance, healthy growth, and strong, sustainable cash flows. At the same time, we operate within a flat organization with short lines ofcommunication, direct dialogue, and rapid decision-making. Together, these principles form a culture where entrepreneurship and collaboration go hand in hand, and where people feel connected to the group without losing their ownidentity.

Our vision for the future

We believe in a future where infrastructure maintenance is predictable, sustainable, and safe. A future where craftsmanship and entrepreneurship come together in strong, self-managing teams that take responsibility for their results. In that future, GroundBirds is the masterbuilder of the ground: a group that strengthens and supports specialized companies without them losing their unique character. We provide clarity, direction, and support—always with respect for the DNA of each individual company. GroundBirds operates in a stable market both domestically and internationally, with a structural and sustained demand for infrastructure maintenance. We distinguish ourselves through our focus on specialized maintenance rather than large-scale project construction, a strong, well- ’s position in urban and regional environments, and the integration of asphalt, road marking, traffic management, expertise, and data. We operate with a singlepoint of contact and short lines of communication, ensuring we remain engagedand decisive. Our strength lies in combining the power of a group with the character of entrepreneurial, independent companies. We are realizing this future through five strategic pillars: a targeted growth agenda focused onmulti-year contracts and buy-and-build, operational excellence with predictable and scalable processes, data-driven decision-making and digitalization, a strong focus on sustainability and social value, and an organization wherepeople and culture are central and leadership is developed at all levels.
