An investment in Storskogen offers unique exposure to small and medium-sized unlisted companies, which is generally hard to get as an investor. Storskogen’s business units have sales of approximately SEK 300 million (RTM) on average, are market leaders in their segments, generate strong cash flows and create positive and sustainable developments in their respective industries.
Storskogen’s long-term ownership requires the business units to be persistently profitable and able to adapt to changing market conditions, for example in terms of legislation, customer and consumption patterns, and to global challenges such as climate change. Storskogen has an active but decentralised ownership model, which means that its business units are able to retain a great deal of responsibility and independence while Storskogen provides expertise, funding and opportunities for knowledge sharing.
Through its business units, Storskogen has a presence in three business areas and 30 countries. Historically, the business units have been resilient in economic downturns, and the operational and geographical diversification provides the Group with good conditions for resilience and stability also in the future. As communicated at Storskogen’s 2024 Capital Markets Day, future acquisitions will focus on five investment themes: health and well-being, automation, energy and sustainability, digitalisation, and infrastructure.
Storskogen has a proven acquisition model with clear acquisition criteria that consider the Group’s overarching financial and sustainability targets. This creates a large and qualitative acquisition deal flow, which in turn allows for diversification in the Group and good opportunities for profitable growth. Storskogen’s selective and systematic evaluation of acquisition candidates ensures the high quality of the acquired companies.
Storskogen’s central business area organisation employs people with expertise in various sectors, often with previous experience as CEO or CFO. The business areas are supported by other central functions with expertise in areas such as finance, sustainability, M&A, business development, communication and legal. The central organisation’s local presence in four geographical market areas also provides excellent local and market knowledge.
Storskogen has demonstrated persistently strong cash flows, illustrated in 2024 by an adjusted cash conversion of 97 percent and cash flow from operating activities of SEK 3,098 million. Storskogen’s ability to generate solid cash flows that can be reinvested in its businesses and new acquisitions allows for sustainable profit growth over time, while also strengthening the Company’s financial resilience and flexibility.
