Entrepreneurs

Trusted by entrepreneurs

Indutrade was established in 1978 and since then, it has evolved into a group of over 200 companies. During these years we have gained great experience in working with company acquisitions and talented entrepreneurs.

There are many different types of companies working with corporate acquisitions. We do not consider ourselves being one in the crowd, but what sets us apart is the fact that we focus on understanding the people and culture of each company we acquire. To us, every acquisition is unique and the beginning of a long-term relationship.

We want the owners to remain in the company after the acquisition. We care a great deal about the company culture, and we keep the company name. We have a clear focus on management by objectives, working with a few carefully selected financial targets. Responsibility for performance is delegated to the company’s MD, which creates the right type of commitment. Furthermore, customers, suppliers and employees tend to all appreciate having responsibilities and authority delegated in this way.
