our history Atkins Sverige AB / our history Atkins was founded in London in 1938 by Sir William Atkins In the early years, Atkins' business was focused on building construction and design. After the end of the Second World War, however, the activities in planning, design, architecture and project management were expanded. Atkins was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1996, after nearly 60 years as a privately held company. During the 1990s, several major acquisitions were also made that strengthened Atkins internationally.
