What Lagercrantz does

Swedish industrial technology group that acquires and grows niche electronics, communications and automation businesses.

Runs as a holding group of dozens of small companies, each keeping its own management, customers and product niche, and buys more of them largely with cash the group already generates. Many design or distribute specialist electronics and communications equipment, so earnings come from many small positions rather than one large product line.

In one line: A smaller Nordic serial acquirer like Roper Technologies/Indutrade.
