M&A teams
We largely use internal resources to evaluate, acquire and welcome new companies to the Group. The process involves not only management but also a number of other people from various areas of our operations with extensive experience of acquisitions and entrepreneurship. Many of the people our acquisition candidates meet during the process have been in the same situation themselves and divested their operations to Momentum Group.
Acquisitions at the subsidiary level
The Group focuses on acquisitions at several different levels. Subsidiaries that meet the Group’s profitability target of at least 45 per cent EBITA/WC can use acquisitions as a way to expand their operations. These acquisitions often take the form of add-on acquisitions in existing companies to strengthen the offering or enable geographic expansion. The CEO of the subsidiary often bears commercial responsibility in these transactions, with support from other areas in the Group.
Acquisitions at the business unit level
Each business unit has a clear acquisition agenda and focus on specific areas:
Power Transmission: Looking for companies that can complement the operations of Momentum Industrial in Sweden and Norway.
Specialist: Looking for companies in leading specialist positions in their respective market niches in the Nordic region.
Flow Technology: Looking for companies in flow technology in the Nordic region.
Technical Solutions: Looking for companies in technical industrial service and measurement companies, mainly in Sweden.
Acquisitions at the Group level
Group management works to identify and conduct major acquisitions, but also to support the companies and business areas by sharing specific expertise in transactions, financial analysis, communication, etc.

Anders Öberg, founder of Öbergs
I know what it’s like to sell your life’s work
With experience of selling a life’s work, it is a privilege to see your company develop further within Momentum Group. My role today is to court owners in personal meetings, give good advice and gently awaken their thoughts about a sales process. It is both inspiring and challenging to follow and lead owners in this process and I am truly proud to represent the group.
Göran Fägersten, Head Controller, BA
Onboarding smoother with the right support
I respect and understand that many companies find it to be a major and difficult step to adapt their procedures to those of a listed group. However, with the right help and assistance, and a comprehensive onboarding process, these fears almost always prove to be baseless.
Andreas Cajbrandt, Head of Group Accounting
It is a pleasure to support and see our companies develop
In addition to analytical work and the efforts required by our various due diligence processes, I think that it is particularly enjoyable to support and follow our new companies after they become part of the Group – we endeavour to always make the onboarding process as smooth as possible.
Ann Charlotte Svensson, Head of Group Communications/IR:
Our companies should feel like they are part of something bigger
Although our new businesses continue to function as independent companies – in line with our decentralised business philosophy – it is important that they feel that they are a part of our group. We also want to be able to offer them any support that they may need as part of a listed group.
