Growing organically and through acquisitions
Elanders is developing together with its customers. Global business often emerge through the solid relationships created when local needs are met and are optimized through good solutions that are then implemented globally for customers. As the Group expands, its capacity to meet customers’ needs in new geographic markets increases, which deepens the customer relationship.
In addition to developing its existing business, Elanders will continue to acquire new businesses that have the potential to increase sales, broaden its customer base and complement its existing offer. An important criterion for acquisitions is that they provide access to new, or further develop, geographic markets or customer segments. The objective is that acquisitions always broaden or complement Elanders’ offer and, if possible, provide further niche expertise.
