AFRY to Acquire AMC Consultants to Expand Global Mining Advisory Capabilities and Strengthen Position in Critical Minerals

(IN BRIEF) AFRY has agreed to acquire AMC Consultants to expand its global Mining & Metals capabilities and strengthen its position as a leading engineering and advisory partner to the mining industry. The acquisition brings 170 specialists and decades of expertise in mine planning, evaluation, and strategic advisory, while deepening AFRY’s reach in key mining markets such as Australia and Canada. The integration enhances AFRY’s early-stage project services and supports growing demand for critical minerals tied to the energy transition, including copper, lithium, and nickel. AMC will become part of AFRY’s Global Division Industry following completion of the transaction, which is expected in mid-2026 pending regulatory and shareholder approvals.

(PRESS RELEASE) SOLNA, 16-Feb-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — AFRY has signed an agreement to acquire AMC Consultants, an internationally recognized independent mining advisory firm, in a move that significantly strengthens AFRY’s global Mining & Metals offering. The transaction will add approximately 170 specialists with deep technical expertise, expanding AFRY’s capabilities across the entire mining value chain while opening new strategic markets for its Mining & Metals segment.

Founded in 1983, AMC has built a strong global reputation in mine strategy optimization, project evaluation, operational planning, and advisory services. Over four decades, the company has established trusted partnerships with more than 90 percent of the world’s top 50 mining companies, positioning it as a key advisor on complex and large-scale mining developments. The acquisition supports AFRY’s international growth ambitions, particularly in resource-rich regions such as Australia and Canada.

By integrating AMC’s expertise, AFRY enhances its competence in critical early-phase services including geology, geotechnical engineering, mine design, feasibility assessments, and strategic consulting—areas that are essential to delivering high-value mining projects. The combination also strengthens AFRY’s ability to contribute to the global energy transition, given AMC’s extensive work with critical minerals such as copper, lithium, and nickel. In addition, the acquisition expands AFRY’s portfolio of proprietary tools, enabling advanced, data-driven mine design, planning, and optimization solutions.

The transaction includes the purchase of 100 percent of the issued shares in Ausmincon Holdings Limited, AMC’s parent company. AMC generated net sales of approximately AUD 57 million in 2025 and will be integrated into AFRY’s Segment Mining & Metals within the Global Division Industry.

Completion of the acquisition will be executed through a scheme of arrangement process under Australian regulations and remains subject to shareholder and court approvals, along with customary closing conditions. The deal is anticipated to finalize in mid-Q2 2026.

AFRY provides engineering, project management, and advisory services that enable the energy and industrial transition and strengthen resilience in society.
