At Skanem, we are active owners, usually taking majority stakes and maintaining an active ownership position. Focused on long-term value creation, we have developed several companies over a 20-year period.
Our investment plan
We plan to invest up to €200 million over the next 3 years, and we are actively searching for companies with a proven product, solution or business model and significant opportunity for profitable growth. Our target size is between €5-50 million in revenue. Our primary investment focus right now is within Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
What are we looking for?
Our ambition is to make a difference, so a product or solution that has something unique is what we are looking for! A circular economy is the ultimate goal, and we aspire to embrace sustainability in everything we do.
We know that people are essential to success, so companies we invest in must be passionate, experienced and willing to make a difference.
