AFRY (ÅF Pöyry) is a Swedish engineering, consulting and design company within the fields of energy, industry, infrastructure and information technology. It was formed in 1895 and is one of the biggest Scandinavian consulting giants with headcount close to 17,500 consultants all over the world. AFRY is the new common brand resulting from the merger between ÅF (originally, Aktiebolaget Ångpanneföreningen (The Steam-Boiler Association)) and Pöyry.
History
The first Swedish steam-pipe association was formed in Malmö on February 23, 1895 under the name of "The Southern Swedish Steam Generator Association". The association was formed by owners of steam boilers and other pressure vessels. The intention was to prevent accidents through periodic inspections. "The Central and Northern Swedish Steam Generator Association" was formed in Stockholm in 1897, and the inspectors began to conduct consultancy services. In 1910 both associations expanded their business to include Electrical engineering. The two associations merged in 1964 under the name Ångpanneföreningen, ÅF, with all of Sweden as a business area.
On May 5, 2008, the Ångpanneföreningen changed its name to ÅF. In 2010, the operations of ÅF-Kontroll were sold to DEKRA Industrial. On November 25, 2019, the company was rebranded as AFRY after merger of (ÅF with Finnish company Pöyry).
