Within the Vestum group, there are individuals with extensive experience in starting, developing, and acquiring businesses, who possess broad knowledge of the strengths and challenges of entrepreneur-led enterprises. The acquired companies continue to operate under the same company name, culture, and brand, led by local management with the support of Vestum's combined resources. The group's ownership and development philosophy are based on retaining local entrepreneurship. By bringing together businesses within the infrastructure sector, we can collaborate on customers, products, and service offerings. At the group level, we support our business leaders with industrial and technical expertise, competence development, and personal growth. We strive to achieve "best practice" by applying proven methods and professional standards in all operations, benefiting greatly from our network of industry specialists built up over time. The focus of ongoing operations is growth, profitability, and capital returns, but we also aim to integrate digitalisation and sustainability issues as a natural part of our operations.

VESTUM'S ACQUISITION MODEL

VESTUM'S ACQUISITION PROCESS

Identification

We strive to continously maintain discussions with interesting acquisition candidates, both directly and through advisers. In total, we evaluate hundreds of companies each year.

Evaluation

Vestum evaluates potential acquisition candidates based on a number of parameters to create a deeper understanding of the company’s business model, risks, market position, competitive landscape, financial history and prospects, as well as the continued commitment of key personnel. During the evaluation process, Vestum formulates a value-creation hypothesis for how we can help drive profitable growth.

Execution

During the execution phase, Vestum conducts a commercial, legal and financial due diligence of the target company, followed by negotiations and signing of the agreement.

Follow-up

After the acquisition has been completed, a plan is developed for how the business can best be incorporated into the Group to maximize the benefits of being part of Vestum. In addition to working together on strategic issues that arise, the acquired company's management maintains a continuous dialogue with relevant individuals from Vestum.
