History

Over 100 years of experience in acquiring and developing sustainable, profitable businesses.

More than a century of value creation

For decades, Bergman & Beving has created value for customers, suppliers and shareholders. Since 1906, we have successfully navigated two world wars, multiple economic cycles and periods of technological change – always with a clear focus on building long-term value. Our history demonstrates this commitment, and our ambition is that future growth should be primarily self-financed.

Building successful companies

Since 2001, we have spun off and listed three separate companies: Lagercrantz Group, Addtech and Alligo. These companies have subsequently formed AddLife and Momentum Group. Together, these five companies represent a total market capitalisation of more than SEK 150 billion. Our success is not only rooted in our historical performance, we have also built a strong portfolio of companies that are well positioned to deliver healthy earnings growth going forward, supported by extensive experience, a long-term perspective and an entrepreneurial culture.
