Pegroco Invest, now known as Navigo Invest AB, is an established investment firm with a focus on nurturing and developing small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Their approach is centered around creating lasting value by establishing 'navbolag' or central hub companies, through which a cluster of successful companies can be built by complementary acquisitions, highlighting a strategy that leverages industrial and financial expertise whilst tapping into a unique network in Western Sweden. Navigo Invest's portfolio is characterized by branschoberoende, or industry independence, ensuring a diversified spread across various operational areas to optimize long-term returns for shareholders. With a history that dates back to 2007, the investment firm has undergone several strategic phases including focus on acquisitions, accelerated growth with high-profile leadership, and portfolio streamlining paired with strategy renewal. Significant milestones include the sale of Diakrit generating a high return on investment, the foundational establishment of companies like Nordisk Bergteknik, and a successful IPO. Significant recent developments under the Navigo Invest banner include the establishment of new hub companies through acquisitions and a doubling of the capital base following the acquisition of Vinga. Additionally, significant strides have been made in sustainability with a clear vision and business model that supports entrepreneurs in creating sustainable businesses and being part of something larger, with an emphasis on openness, commitment, and collaboration driving quality and value.
