Actemium Renews Partnership with ESS, the Future of Neutron Research
Actemium has signed a renewed framework agreement with the European Spallation Source (ESS) for the supply of installation services and materials for electrical and instrumentation systems.
Having been established at ESS since 2018, Actemium Sweden—supported by its sister brands Eitech and Emil Lundgren in southern Sweden—is one of three selected contractors entrusted with performing advanced electrical and instrumentation installations for this world-class research facility.
We are very happy and proud of the continued confidence from ESS. This has been possible through the cooperation between several business units, where we help each other with competence and resources. This shows the strength of the network to which we belong through VINCI Energies

ESS: A Breakthrough in Science and Innovation
Located in northeastern Lund, Sweden, ESS is a groundbreaking research facility currently under construction. Once completed, it will be the most powerful neutron source in the world, enabling scientists to study the structure and properties of materials using neutron scattering after spallation.
This cutting-edge facility will house 15 state-of-the-art scientific instruments, opening new frontiers in fields such as materials Science, life sciences and energy research.
Construction of ESS began in 2014, with operations expected to commence in 2028. The framework agreement with Actemium covers an initial two-year period, with three automatic one-year extensions, ensuring a potential collaboration of up to five years.
With this renewed commitment, Actemium continues to bring its expertise in electrical engineering and instrumentation to support ESS’s mission of pushing the boundaries of scientific and technological innovation on a global scale.
