Since the start in 1939 Stena has developed into an international group of companies with business activities all over the world. Activities today are spread over several areas: ferry routes, shipping, offshore drilling, property, finance plus recycling, environmental services and trade.
The Stena Sphere consists of the three parent companies, wholly-owned by the Sten A Olsson family, Stena AB (publ), Stena Sessan AB and Stena Metall AB, and their wholly or partly owned subsidiaries. Together they constitute one of Sweden’s largest family-owned corporate groups. The partly-owned company Concordia Maritime AB (publ), 52% of which is owned by Stena Sessan AB, is listed on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. The parent companies' head offices are all located in Göteborg.
The Stena Sphere has a headcount of around 19 000. The Sphere generated total revenues of SEK 47 billion in 2009 with a result before tax of SEK 1.7 billion.
Stena recently signed a contract for REVIVAL 3. The first adopters in the Stena Sphere will be Stena Line and Stena Rederi. In the first phase, Stena Line and Stena Rederi will roll out 1 500 clients in Sweden.
“Compared to other platforms we have looked at, it is really easy to get up to speed with REVIVAL”, says Stephan Begic at Stena Line. Having users spread out over the world, REVIVAL SelfService will also be a good asset since it is open 24/7.”
