Qben Infra as an investment
Qben Infra is a fast-growing investment group focused on critical infrastructure in the Nordics. With a strong financial position, long-term customers, and a growing portfolio of specialized companies in vital sectors, Qben Infra is well positioned to meet the increasing demand for sustainable and robust infrastructure solutions in Sweden and Norway.
Qben Infra’s shares were listed on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market at the end of 2024 and is traded under the ticker “QBEN”.
Rapidly growing market with structural momentum
Qben Infra has four complementary business areas with specialized portfolio companies strategically positioned to benefit from major ongoing and upcoming infrastructure investments in Sweden and Norway. The growing demand creates significant opportunities for the group’s portfolio companies to expand within their respective niches, driven primarily by:
- Underinvested infrastructure: Chronic underinvestment in Nordic infrastructure has left railways, buildings, and other essential assets in urgent need of refurbishment and modernization. Expansive national budgets will stimulate infrastructure investments for many years to come.
- Sustainability and electrification: A combination of net-zero carbon emission targets and EU directives on energy efficiency will require massive investments in renovation measures.
- Urbanization: Strong population growth in the Nordics combined with urbanization trends will require substantial investments in critical infrastructure and transportation systems, such as railways.
Experienced management team with strong industrial track record
Qben Infra’s team has solid and documented experience in building profitable companies and creating shareholder value by combining industrial and operational expertise with strategic M&A. With deep industry insight, a long-term ownership perspective, and strong ability to identify and realize synergies and other value-creating investment opportunities, the company is well equipped to unlock untapped potential and value over time.
Efficient platform for consolidation and value-creating acquisitions
Qben Infra operates in fragmented market segments characterized by many smaller private companies. Through add-on acquisitions, the group consolidates these markets, adds new services and competencies, expands geographically, and creates economies of scale and scope by realizing synergies. The group invests in segments with strong long-term growth potential, with particular focus on cash flow-generating companies where management teams remain as co-owners to maintain local business proximity, flexibility, and entrepreneurial drive in the daily operations.
Proven ability to drive growth and performance improvements
All business areas within the group have demonstrated strong organic growth and operate in markets with large growth potential. With a strong focus on profitability improvements, particularly within Qben Power and Qben Inspekt, the group is well positioned to maintain a high growth rate with good profitability.
Capital-light business model and strong financial position
All business areas within the group have capital-light business models with low investment needs, enabling strong cash flow. This creates a solid foundation for continued growth – both organically and through strategic acquisitions – and provides the group with the flexibility to act proactively and seize opportunities as they arise.
