Stena AB

What they do

Founded in 1939, Stena AB is a global conglomerate with deep roots in shipping, ferry lines, offshore drilling, and real estate. It is part of the "Stena Sphere," wholly owned by the Olsson family. In 2002, Stena Adactum was launched as its dedicated investment company to diversify beyond traditional maritime businesses. Operating as an evergreen private equity firm, Stena Adactum acquires significant stakes in listed and unlisted companies across the Nordics and Europe, leveraging the family's balance sheet for long-term value creation and sustainability.

What they look for

Stena Adactum aims to build strong, growing, and profitable companies for future generations. They pursue a long-term ownership strategy without a predetermined investment horizon, aiming to double the value of their investments every five years. They explicitly target companies with attractive, proven business models in traditional industries, favouring dividend-paying companies that generate strong, consistent cash flows.
