New Group structure for future growth
To strengthen the platform for the next growth phase, Indutrade changes the Group structure to five international Business Areas with clear strategic focus on different business sectors and technologies. The purpose of the change is to enhance both the organic and acquisition growth agendas, by further encouraging knowledge sharing between companies within similar market sectors and segments.
“This year, Indutrade has provided sustainable, profitable growth for 45 years. Our value-based culture, with a long-term focus on the people, entrepreneurship and decentralisation has been the key to our success. These fundamental principles will continue to apply as we now take the next step on our growth journey. Our new organisation will strengthen our ability to better leverage the consolidated knowhow and improve the scalability of the Group, while preserving the decentralised structure where the individual company is at the core”, said Bo Annvik, President and CEO of Indutrade.
Indutrade’s five Business Areas as of 1 January 2024:
