Transformation Strategy

Latitude 57° north. A coastline shaped by storms and salt. Here, in Sweden’s Climate Zone IV, the weather no longer waits its turn—downpours arrive in bursts, temperatures swing without warning. What once seemed stable is already shifting.

Buildings once designed for stable seasonal patterns now face a new reality. In the 1990s, the industry expected 3–4 major cloudbursts per year. Today, that same number occurs each quarter.

Fuktab is rooted in emergency interventions: deploying dehumidifiers, providing demolition advice, and conducting clean-ups. Together, we shaped a new vision. Despite the name Fuktab (fukt = moisture in Swedish), it was never just about moisture. It has always been about knowledge and expertise—understanding how materials behave, and how to restore them. And how to keep them from becoming waste—a critical task, since the building sector accounts for nearly one-fifth of Sweden’s carbon footprint.

Grounded in the EU’s definition of climate resilience—the ability of buildings to withstand both acute and long-term climate stress—we helped define a new category: Material Resilience. It’s a discipline that explores how materials respond to moisture, shifts in temperature, wind, and salt—and how buildings can be reinforced from the inside out.

Value starts with the words we choose. To anchor the idea in daily life, Fuktab introduced “Materialkraft”—Swedish for ‘material strength’. By naming it, we turned principle into practice—preserve, don’t replace.

Materialkraft points toward a future worth fighting for. A future where cities are built not by extracting new resources, but by extending the lifespan of what we already have—through circular construction and urban mining.

Every future worth fighting for needs cultural symbols—language to name it, and forms to make it visible. Only then can people see it, believe it, and take part in building it together. That is how Fuktab has redefined both its identity and its role in the value chain: leading with a clear perspective—Protect today. Preserve tomorrow.
