Long-term and sustainable value creation

We are a committed investor and develop our companies by supporting them in building long-term and sustainable values. We focus on private small- and medium sized companies in the Nordic and DACH regions and situations where we can be an active owner.

Our investment strategy

As an investor, we actively support companies on their development journey by making lasting contributions.

We are selective and build our investment conviction by following businesses and industries with patience over time.

We focus on sustainable value creation, maintaining an entrepreneurial approach and strive for strong execution.

As a partner there should always be a clear opportunity for us to actively contribute to the company’s development.

We want to grow our investments and seek expansion cases with clear underlying market growth, opportunity for international expansion or market consolidation.

We look for companies and situations where co-owners, company management and other stakeholders share our values and our view on responsible ownership.
