Dedicated and long-term investments, for and with people.


“The executives behind INIVI, their background and experience as true industry leaders as well as their clear strategy to continue building strong niche companies, felt like a perfect match for us. A few years into our collaboration I can say that our initial impression has definitely been confirmed and we look to the future with a positive outlook based on the investments we are now implementing.”

— Johan Gembäck, committed Board member IMH & previous owner 

Our Philosophy

We are driven by actively investing in and developing small and medium-sized companies. Our commitment to developing companies and the people who build them every day is genuine, which means, among other things, that we have no time limit on our investments. As long as we can achieve our ambition to be the best possible owner for a company and its employees, we intend to keep developing the company and its employees. 

We know that a decentralized responsibility in respect of the sovereignty of each company is a prerequisite for continued innovation. Just as the company's management is responsible for the operations, we are responsible owners dedicated sounding boards and completely committed to the company’s success.

We are engaged to support our organizations to be as successful as possible in developing their business. We are always ready to challenge and support our teams contributing with our experience where applicable. We believe in meaningful relationships that nurture potential synergies in between the companies we acquire, companies that become part of the INIVI portfolio.

What we look for

 

We acquire companies with their own brands and/or trademarks, products, or solutions where we see growth potential. The companies most often have a strong and self-sustaining team whom we support and help develop longterm through modern leadership.
