We build long-lasting value

Since 1992 we have built strong companies and long-term value together with people who want to create and develop. Our investments are made within a generational perspective, without short-term pressure to exit.

Brand story

Gullringsbo is a family-owned investment firm focusing on construction, property and adjacent sectors. We build long-lasting value together with entrepreneurs and leaders who want to develop strong companies.

Our ownership combines capital, deep sector know-how and networks with short decision paths and a decentralised approach where responsibility and mission are close to the business. We believe in the creative capacity of people – and in letting quality take the time it needs to develop.

We contribute more than capital. We provide support on strategic issues, key recruitments and important decisions, and enable exchanges of experience and business development within the group. At the same time, we respect each company’s identity, culture and local market.

That’s why we own for generations – not for the next exit. Because we believe in companies, people and ideas with the potential to endure.
