“I look forward to welcoming Henrik Lundh as a member of Ratos’s management group, where I’m sure that his experience and knowledge will be of immense benefit in the future.

I want to extend a sincere thanks to Robin Molvin, whose important work with several of our portfolio companies throughout his many years here at Ratos has created significant value. Over the years, Robin has strengthened and assumed responsibility for Ratos’s presence in Denmark, which was the driving factor behind the acquisition of airteam and Oase Outdoors. At airteam, Robin has led the company’s growth journey and expansion into Sweden through strategic bolt-on acquisitions.
