Ceder Capital is a Swedish investment company that, together with management, invests in primarily Swedish and Finnish companies with a turnover of between SEK 50-500 million. Ceder Capital acts as an active support to company managements in implementing value-creating initiatives and additional acquisitions. Our experience is that investments in product development, sales and marketing with a focus on increased customer and staff satisfaction create value for all parties. We see a long term ESG work as a part to create values and decrease company risks.
A team with extensive experience that creates value
At Ceder Capital, we have extensive experience from private equity, operational change and the financial markets from leading players such as ABN Amro Capital, EQT, IK Investment Partners, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. We have made more than 50 investments and in these we have gained experience from most industries. We respect that investment, risk-taking, mistakes and dedication are required to improve a company’s operational results.
Extensive network
Ceder Capital has an extensive network of advisers who, thanks to their relevant industrial and operational expertise, contribute to the value creation processes in our portfolio companies. The boards of our portfolio companies are supplemented with relevant individuals who work together with the management and Ceder Capital.
To ensure that Ceder Capital contributes to the companies’ development, we work primarily with people who understand smaller companies and have relevant industry experience.
What makes us unique
Investment philosophy
We are entrepreneurs ourselves and respect the efforts required to build a company.

- Cost effectiveness at all levels of the organization
- Top-class reporting with a focus on operational key figures
- Product and service development with environment and endurance goals, ensures our competitiveness
- The sales organization is a key resource
- Excellent results will be rewarded with considerate ESG goals
