Custos Group is far from a newcomer. Its roots run deep into the heart of Sweden’s industrial history. In 1937 AB Custos was founded by Skandinaviska Kredit as an investment vehicle, the primary purpose of which was the acquisition of shares the bank had received following the 1930’s market crash. At this time, AB Custos controlled strategic stakes in companies such as Volvo, Skanska, Swedish Match, SEB, SCA, Huvudstaden, and Billerud. The business proved to be extremely lucrative earning Custos the eminent reputation as one of the most powerful and influential investment companies in Sweden.
Custos is led by Christen Ager-Hanssen, an innovative entrepreneur and investor with a long range vision and little tolerance for unprofitability in the business world. Custos operates from its head office in London with satellite offices in Stockholm and Oslo. The Custos history is rich in successful investment/disruption, having divested several portfolio companies at extraordinary multiples on investments. Others are now standing by for public offerings.
Custos is sole owner of the subsidiary Metro Media House, one of Swedens biggest and most innovative media houses. Metro has been structured as a mass appeal brand besides a digital news company with the largest circulation. Custos and Metro Media House have launched a truly ground-breaking media-for-revenue and media-for-equity business model.
We are now looking for the enterprising disruptive innovators of tomorrow and world-beaters in Digital Disruption.
