Forsheda Gruppen AB acquires Ferrocon AB

Svensk FöretagsFörmedling acted as transaction advisor in the sale of the Skövde company Ferrocon AB to Forsheda Gruppen AB. The acquisition means that Forsheda Gruppen can offer its customers even broader solutions, thanks to Ferrocon's specialisation and high expertise in steel products.

In Skövde, Peter Persson, CEO of Ferrocon AB, has run the business successfully for almost 20 years. The company, which has been active since 1951, specialises in steel products, with construction blacksmithing and contract manufacturing among its strengths. The seller Peter Persson describes the transaction process:

– Finding the right buyer was of great importance. The work with Martin Strandell and Svensk Företagsförmedling as a whole has worked very well. We worked in a focused way on the selection of interested parties, which led to a good match. I strongly believe in Forsheda Gruppen's idea.

Martin Strandell, partner and transaction advisor, agrees. The main task in the work as a transaction advisor is, from the seller's perspective, to find the right buyer and create security for both parties throughout the transaction process.

– We see that Forsheda Gruppen, with its concept, will be able to manage and develop Ferrocon further. The process has proceeded in a good and positive spirit, and we at Svensk FöretagsFörmedling are pleased to have been entrusted with the brokerage of Ferrocon, says Martin Strandell.

The important process with Svensk Företagsförmedling is described as consistently professional, pragmatic and pleasant. The deal provides good conditions for Forsheda Gruppen to develop Ferrocon forward.

– We thank Martin Strandell and his team, who have guided us and their client to the finish line in a good way, says Rickard Källander, Head of Acquisitions at Forsheda Gruppen.

From Forsheda Gruppen's side, the deal is seen as a natural part of making the company a "one stop shop" supplier. Today's broad range is already appreciated by customers, including wall elements, infill walls and ready-made material kits on the list, and with Ferrocon the possibilities of efficiently handling all incoming enquiries now increase.

– We are happy and proud to acquire a company with such a fine history and competent employees, concludes Nicklas Vernström, CEO of Forsheda Gruppen AB and Forsheda Hus AB.
