Diverse customer base
Machinery & Equipment comprises companies that design and supply machinery, equipment, tools, instruments, and industrial apparatus to B2B customers, primarily in Northern Europe. The customer base spans a wide range of industries, including defense, specialized trade, offshore, maritime, and laboratory segments.
Quality and compliance

Profitability focus
The division’s initial priority is to restore and strengthen margins and returns within existing portfolio companies. Once this has been achieved, the focus will shift toward selective acquisitions that complement the division’s offering and further strengthen its market position.
