Proactive, hands-on ownership designed to make companies better and more valuable
Cevian acquires significant minority ownership positions in European public companies, and works as an owner to advance long-term and sustainable value creation.
Cevian has executed the same strategy since it was founded by Lars Förberg and Christer Gardell in 2002. Its investment and active ownership work benefits from the experience, expertise, networks and relationships built-up over more than 20 years.
