A long-term home for well-run businesses
Acquisitions are a central part of Volati’s growth strategy. We acquire well-managed companies with strong market positions and develop them over the long term.
Our focus is on building and expanding platforms. Most acquisitions are add-ons to existing businesses, where there are opportunities to strengthen market position and broaden the offering. New platform investments are also evaluated where there is a clear fit with our model.
We typically acquire companies with strong local roots and established operations. We place importance on continuity - for employees, customers and the company’s role in its local market.
Why sell to Volati
We acquire and develop companies with a long-term perspective. The approach is to build on what already works and support further development without changing the core of the business or its way of operating.
Our experience from acquisitions is combined with a decentralised structure, where decisions are taken close to the business and responsibility for development remains within the companies and their platforms. Existing management often continues to run the business, with responsibility remaining close to operations.
In each acquisition, we aim to retain the company’s identity and entrepreneurial spirit while adding structure, resources and financial capacity where relevant.
Volati acts as a long-term owner with a consistent approach across acquisitions.
High transaction security
We prioritise transactions we intend to complete. Key decisions are typically taken before due diligence, which reduces execution risk in later stages.
Experience and continuity
We bring over 20 years of experience from acquiring and developing companies across industries, with a focus on long-term ownership.
Efficient process
The process is pragmatic and largely handled internally. This allows for shorter lead times and a more focused process with fewer iterations.
Adapted to each situation
Each company is different. Structure, timing and process are adapted to the specific situation of each business.
Acquisition focus
Our focus is on add-on acquisitions, businesses that can contribute to continued development and expansion within existing platforms. These are typically companies with an established market position, operating in Europe and with a clear fit within one of Volati’s existing platforms.
Platform acquisitions are evaluated selectively. These are companies with strong profitability and cash flow, a proven business model, and a leading position in a defined niche within an industrial or related sector. They also offer opportunities for further expansion through add-on acquisitions and continued development over time. Such acquisitions typically form new platforms within Volati and are primarily located in the Nordics.
