Stronghold as an Active Owner

The performance of Stronghold is best measured in the growth of its value of substance

Stronghold strives to be an active, long-term owner and the results should consequently be measured over a period of years.

The ambition is that the companies within Stronghold become the leaders of their market segment (target to become No. 1, but at least No. 2)

THE STRONGHOLD GROUP is an expansive company which has shown strong growth combined with increasing profitability over many years. We believe that profitable growth depends mainly on two variables: employee satisfaction and client satisfaction. That is why we invest so much time and effort on evaluating and monitoring the development of these key figures.
