OUR OWNERSHIPS

Active ownership

For decades, Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker has been the owner of successful Danish businesses in a wide variety of industries. Our investments share a common trait: the companies all have strong market positions or brands. We see it as a natural part of our strategy to invest in Danish iconic businesses.


OUR PHILOSOPHY

  • We invest in sound and responsible business models, where the management own and execute the optimal strategy.
  • We attach great importance to the mix of managerial capabilities and competencies in the chairmanship, board of directors and day-to-day management.
  • We place a high value on dialogue and mutual trust.
  • We have a deep routed interest in the long-term success of the businesses, but as per required, will take an active view in the short-term if required.
  • We ensure that our companies take an active approach to ESG and sustainability, as well as adopt the relevant SDGs (the 17 UN sustainable development goals).
  • We support investments that potentially yield a lower short-term return, provided that these investments will accelerate a positive progress for the business in the long-term.
  • We believe that long-term success is achieved through motivated staff and competent managers.

OUR
OWNERSHIPS

Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker owns companies within a wide range of industries. Our ownership is based on dialogue, trust and responsibility, and we value propriety, professionalism and integrity. We respect the division of labor between owners, board and management. On a day-to-day basis, we leave it to the management to run the companies, but we make our experience and skills available when, for example, brave decisions have to be made or changes are needed.

Our companies have high ambitions and strong market positions in common.

SCALE
INVESTMENTS

We categorize part of our holdings as scale investments. Through investment in the next generation of companies with roots in Denmark and an international outlook, we want to create jobs, develop intellectual property rights and technology, and create healthy added value.

Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker is a dedicated partner that invests in significant Danish companies that have achieved proof-of-business and need capital to scale the business. Our approach to long-term ownership in our scale investments is based on the same basic principles as in our strategic investments.
