By 1999 Sigma had grown in size to 5 000 employees in seven countries and a turnover of 1.4 billion SEK. The company struck a deal with Ericsson, becoming a "strategic partner" while expanding into wireless communications solutions.[1] In 2008 Askerö Utveckling offered to buy the company at 6.9 SEK per share for a total valuation of 599 million SEK. At the time Dan Olofssons holding company was a major shareholder controlling 31% of the shares.[2]

Sigma AB was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange Small Cap list and NASDAQ OMX. On 8 May 2013, Sigma requested that the company be delisted from NASDAQ OMX on 21 May that same year, after Danir AB acquired over 95% of the shares in the company. At the same time, Danir requested that the remaining shares be compulsorily redeemed. Since then, the company has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Danir AB, which the Olofsson family owns.[3] At the time, the company had 1400 employees.[4]

Sigma AB offers its services through the business areas Sigma Technology, Sigma Connectivity, Sigma Industry, Sigma Civil and Sigma Software, within which Sigma AB provides group management and manages the overall Sigma brand. The company was first split into three businesses in 2001.[5]
