Passion for business
We are highly thankful and humbled when trusted to acquire and develop businesses—and especially appreciative for traditional companies allowing us the opportunity to pass their legacy on.
The will
to grow
Our driving force is to see companies and people thrive and feel good, and we are very proud of what we have accomplished together.
It's all about
the people
You who are selling your life’s work, you who want to take part in leading our companies and all of our knowledgeable colleagues. It’s not until we meet, experience joy and trust in each other that we can create the energy needed for magic.
”AFTER 35 YEARS, YOU WANT TO LEAD ANOTHER LIFE TOO.”
“It’s our business—but after 35 years, you want to lead another life too. Meeting Knowhub for the first time felt good, and the second time was even better, so our choice to sell to them was made quickly. The process has been nothing but positive, and shortly after the transition—it felt as if we’d known them forever.”
BIRGIT BURMAN, FORMER CO-OWNER, JÄRPÅS VERKSTAD
”THEY HAVE A HEALTHY APPROACH TO BUSINESS.”
“And plan long-term for the company to thrive whilst understanding the weight of a work/life balance. Our meetings have a good dynamic where we roll up our sleeves, and I get the support I need. And—the benefits of having colleagues in other companies are great!”
FREDRIK AHLSTRÖM, CEO, CO-OWNER, PLAST PETTER
”THE TRANSITION WAS NICE, PAINLESS AND PROBLEM-FREE.”
“The result was great, so—oh yes, I’m pleased. Björn and Mattias kept me around after they bought JAVI, and we’ve continued to visit the music convention in Los Angeles together that I’ve been attending by myself since 1994.”
SÖREN JILDERBO, FORMER OWNER, JAVI MUSIC
