Acquisitions
Our strategy
Acquisitions are a central part of Alcadon Group's growth strategy. On the journey toward our vision of becoming a leading competence partner in the digitalization of society, acquiring well-managed and profitable companies helps strengthen the Group's customer offering, market position and profitability. We acquire companies in two dimensions:
Add-on acquisitions
We are complementing and strengthening our existing distribution businesses through expanded geographic presence or a broader product and service offering.
Platform acquisitions
We are investing in niche, profitable and entrepreneur-led product and service companies that can form platforms for growth in new and attractive market segments of digitalization where we are not yet active.
What we look for
We are continuously looking for new companies to welcome into the Alcadon Group family. What our candidates have in common is that they:
Contribute positively to the digitalization of society — ideally with unique or patented products and solutions.
Hold a leading market position within their niche.
Show long-term solid profitability with stable key figures that contribute to the Group's profitability.
Have a dedicated management team that wants to keep developing the company after the acquisition.
We prefer to acquire entrepreneur- or family-led companies where the desire to continue operating in an active role — at least through a transition period — is strong.
Becoming part of us
Becoming part of Alcadon Group means joining a long-term, entrepreneurial context where we build on what already works. Our approach is defined by continuity, trust and long-term value creation.
How we govern
- A decentralized governance model gives our companies, leaders and employees the ability to make decisions as close to the business and the customer as possible
- We set clear targets and reward employees on their fulfilment.
What stays the same
We believe in development rather than disruption. In practice, you:
- Continue running the business as you do today
- Keep the company's name, brand and local presence
- Build on your existing team, customers and partnerships
- Continue using processes and systems that works well
What you gain
- The strength of a larger group while keeping entrepreneurial speed and flexibility
- A network of companies where collaboration and synergies are enabled — never forced
- Support to drive growth and development initiatives
- Financial resources and capacity when needed
- Greater credibility through a stable, long-term and financially strong owner
