We have a long-term perspective when providing support and promoting the development of our existing companies, as well as complementing our divisions with additional companies.

Group CEO

Lars Fredin

As we approach the end of 2024, we reflect on a successful and eventful year. It has been an exceptional year for us, marked by significant achievements. We have not only delivered robust results and welcomed new talent to the Dacke Industri group but have also successfully acquired several companies. In addition, we have achieved solid organic growth across many of our businesses, strengthened collaboration within our divisions, and initiated several new networks across different functions. Our diverse portfolio and the range of segments ensure we remain strong, as the success of certain companies offsets challenges faced by others. At other times, the situation is reversed, showcasing the resilience of our group. We look forward to building on these successes and embracing the many opportunities that lie ahead.

Among the highlights we have the strategic acquisitions of CNC North by UVA LIDKÖPING, Airon in Italy, Flintab acquired Omnigon, as well as PMC Hydraulics acquiring the remaining shares in Hydroquip Hydraulics. In recent months, we’ve continued this momentum with the acquisition of Stegia, while Sovellusmestarit acquired MoveRoll, and our most recent acquisition is G-TEK. Additionally, Fogmaker International launched a new subsidiary, Fogmaker Brazil LTDA.

During the year, we have appointed a couple of new CEOs in connection with primary successions. Rikard Lundqvist at Optronics and René van Boxtel at Tecair B.V and appointed new Vice President of Business Area Air Technology at Dacke Industri, Satu Rautavalta. Warmly welcome onboard!

As we continue to focus on strategic growth and the strength of our partners, we would like to introduce the latest month’s new acquisitions a little closer.

We continued to strengthen our global position with its acquisition of the Swedish company Stegia AB, the Nordic region’s leading supplier of integrated servomotors. We completed the acquisition of 70 % of the shares in Stegia AB on November 12th, 2024.

Sovellusmestarit Oy strengthened its market position by advancing the innovation of its cutting-edge roll-handling equipment at MoveRoll Oy. On November 28th, 2024, they acquired 100% of the shares in MoveRoll Oy.

On December 12th, 2024, Dacke Industri completed the acquisition of 98% of G-TEK, a leading provider of optimal Powerpack installations for OEM manufacturers of mobile vehicles across northern Europe. The strategic acquisition of G-TEK enhances growth by broadening our comprehensive offerings to OEM customers.

We are now 27 companies within 4 divisions, with about 1700 employees worldwide, and we have net sales of 4.6 billion SEK. There are fantastic opportunities for growth and cooperation within the group.

If you, as an entrepreneur, consider divesting your life’s work and are looking for a long-term owner, don’t hesitate to contact us at Dacke Industri if you want to hear more about our way forward. We will happily join you for a coffee and take it from there.

A special thank you to everyone who has supported and followed us during the year, particularly to all the great employees for your efforts! We look forward to a new year with new possibilities ahead.

Best wishes for a joyful Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Season´s Greetings!

Best regards
Lars Fredin
