About us
Who we are, and where this is going.
The short version
Ekholmen Group was founded in 2026 to buy profitable small and mid-sized companies and hold them permanently. We are generalists. What our companies will have in common is not an industry, it is that they are well run and that someone built them carefully.
We are at the very beginning, so there is no portfolio to show yet, and we would rather say that plainly than dress it up. What we can be judged on today is how we behave in a conversation with an owner.
Where this is going
Over the next five years we intend to build a diversified group of profitable companies across many industries.
The spread is the point: a group that reaches across many industries is steadier than any single company within it, because a downturn in one sector rarely lines up with a downturn in another. That steadiness gives us the resilience to tell an owner we expect to still be here in twenty years, and the strength to support them on the way.
Our roots
Our majority owner is Holmströmgruppen, a privately held Stockholm group founded by Fredrik Holmström in 2006. It works across property, new housing construction, and investments in listed and unlisted companies.
Fredrik is a long-term, relationship-driven owner who usually takes a board seat and puts his network to work in the companies he backs. That patience and long-term stewardship reflect the same view we hold about ownership, which is why we have no fixed exit deadline.
