Over many years, VBG Group has built up and acquired many strong brands, which to a great degree enabled the divisions’ positions as world leaders in their respective industrial niches. Our operations aim to have a diversified customer base, which promotes better risk spread, a stronger negotiating position, and a healthy earnings capacity.
Together with several major institutional owners, the three foundations established by Group founder Herman Krefting that are now the principal owners of VBG Group create an excellent ownership structure for the Group. It provides longterm security and stability, and promotes long-term commitment and continuity in implementing strategies.
The VBG Group’s ownership model has provided a high degree of financial stability over the years with a high equity/assets ratio and healthy finances. A balance between providing the owners with a stable yield and allowing the earnings to remain in the Group and work, in combination with strong operations, has created a stable financial foundation for continued development of operations as well as expansion through acquisitions.
