Our investment philosophy is based on the conviction that money should be put to work to create growth. This philosophy has guided us for more than 60 years.

We take a humanistic approach to running companies, where we put our employees first. We want to develop trusting relationships with our subsidiaries, holdings and employees, where confidence and entrepreneurship are the keywords for success. Our investments will contribute to long-term social impact and we mainly want to grow by focusing on innovation and technology-driven companies – which is where we can offer the most experience and expertise.

We mainly invest in companies that are based in southern Sweden, but operate in a global market. Proximity and regular contact are important for building trust. In our own premises, we offer a creative environment and intercompany knowledge-sharing. Sandberg Development works continuously to evaluate and analyse possible investment and acquisition candidates. We are a small organisation with rapid decision-making processes.

It has to feel right, while simultaneously offering opportunities for the company to develop with Sandberg Development as its owner. Before taking on an active ownership role, the improvement potential has to match our own expertise profile. To be the best owner for our subsidiaries and associated companies, we believe in knowledge-sharing, involvement and a local presence.
