Our way of working

Our work is characterized by cooperation, humility, thoroughness, commitment and an entrepreneurial drive. In many ways, we operate in line with a traditional private equity mindset, however leverage the benefits our long-term perspective and structure bring.

Our approach

We build on our experience

We invest in businesses where we have industrial experience, business model understanding and can add value through our industrial network

We have a prudent approach

We strive to achieve consistent development across our portfolio In practice – we focus on the robustness of the businesses we invest in and try to enhance upside potential

We want to play an active role

Majority and minority owner are two titles that we are equally comfortable with, as long as we have the opportunity to actively contribute

We want to grow our investments

We prefer expansion cases with clear underlying market growth, clear opportunity for international expansion or market consolidation

We focus on financial stability

As a capital-strong owner, we seek a long-term sustainable balance between equity and external financing

We are flexible

A long-term approach to the companies’ development journey is central, but there is always flexibility to adapt the ownership period to the situation

Cooperation is our strength

By developing strong and structured partnerships with management teams and co-owners of our portfolio companies, we realize long-term visions and create stronger companies.

Active participation

We want to be involved in our portfolio companies, both as a strategic sounding board and as support in operational priorities.

This means active participation in the board, but also within areas such as international expansion, M&A, strategic initiatives – all depending on the maturity and needs of the individual company.

We go beyond capital

In addition to capital, we typically contribute with trusted partners, strategic experience, industrial networks, and competence supporting:  

  • Strategic development
  • Internationalization
  • Acquisitions and integrations
  • Structure and processes
  • Board and senior leadership recruitments

Through commitment and cooperation, we develop independent, competitive, and long-term profitable and sustainable companies.
