Clear corporate philosophy

We offer a safe haven for small and medium-sized businesses. We are guided by our corporate philosphy implying a long-term investment profile, a focus on profitability and a strongly decentralised organisation

Main objective to improve earnings

Our aim is to secure that the subsidiaries continuously improve earnings and deliver strong cash flows.

Our belief is that profit is a prerequisite for long-term growth.

A profitable operation has the strength to deliver high quality products and services to its customers. It will also be a good workplace for its employees. A profitable operation can afford to invest in product development, distribution and services. Thus it can meet both customers’ and employees’ needs also longer-term.

A strong cost focus is required to stay competitive and to be profitable long-term. We aim to minimize costs that are not related to manufacturing, sales or product development. Our experience says that this approach both lower costs and create a greater employee commitment.

Dividend target

Dividend should be based on Lifco Group’s profit with regard to its financial position and future opportunities. The long-term target is to have a stable dividend development and dividend should represent 30-50 percent of post-tax earnings.
