Ratos AB (publ)

Ratos AB (publ) functions as a private equity firm, concentrating its efforts on corporate buyouts, business restructuring, supplementary acquisitions, and mid-market deals. The firm steers clear of early-stage investments and deliberately avoids companies involved in arms manufacturing, pornography, or activities detrimental to the environment. Its investment strategy targets unlisted, medium-sized enterprises across the industrial, construction, services, consumer, and technology sectors. Geographically, Ratos primarily invests within the Nordic region, with a particular emphasis on Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway. It seeks companies where its equity commitment ranges from SEK250 million ($29.66 million) to SEK5000 million ($762.77 million), sales values are between SEK300 million ($45.77 million) and SEK5000 million ($762.77 million), and EBITDA exceeds SEK50 million ($5.15 million). The firm is open to both minority and majority ownership positions, though it typically prefers to be the leading shareholder, holding a minimum of 20 percent, and often seeks a board seat. Investments are generally held for a duration of five to ten years, funded through Ratos's own balance sheet and bank loans. Ratos AB (publ), founded in 1934, is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
