Strategy

Our Board of Directors are experienced individuals with seasoned industry know-how. The subsidiaries develop their own business plans based on jointly agreed annual and long-term targets, while retaining operational responsibility. Our companies work with annual targets rather than budgets, focusing on earnings and profitability in line with the Focus Model.

If companies lack in-house skills, we help them secure the right expertise at the right time. This may relate to areas such as pricing, marketing, exports and AI, and helps our companies to improve and strengthen key parts of their business more quickly.

We maintain a network of quality-assured external partners that provide services in accounting, IT and logistics. This gives our subsidiaries the opportunity, but not the obligation, to benefit from the scale and scope offered by these partners, which can increase quality and reduce costs.

Acquiring companies is a complex process, particularly for smaller businesses. We provide support to our companies throughout the entire process of carrying out an add-on acquisition – from identifying acquisition candidates to completing the transaction.

We have established hubs in key markets that give our companies access to back-office solutions, making it easier and more cost-efficient to establish a presence in new geographic markets.

Our internal “Bergman & Beving University” enables us to develop our employees by strengthening their skills and motivation, fostering contacts across the Group and providing them with the tools to understand our operational model.

We maintain internal networks where our companies share experiences in areas such as sustainability, AI, financial governance and leadership. The aim is to strengthen our employees’ skills while creating a forum for knowledge sharing and collaboration across the Group.
