\u200bAccent Equity became the majority owner of Malte Månson in 2023 and has since then supported the company’s development into a stronger, broader and more scalable group. During Accent Equity’s ownership, Malte Månson has continued to develop its service offering, strengthened its organisation and operational platform, and expanded its position in the Swedish market.
“We are very proud of the development of Malte Månson during our ownership. The group has delivered strong profitable growth, increasing revenue from approximately SEK 350 million to SEK 800 million while growing EBITDA by more than 2.5x. The workshop network has expanded from 17 to 28 locations, and the company has broadened its offering beyond heavy trucks to include buses and light commercial vehicles. We believe Citira is a strong new owner with clear industrial logic and the capabilities to support Malte Månson in its next phase,” says Mikael Strand, Associate Partner at Accent Equity and Chairman of the Board of Malte Månson.
“The past three years have been a highly transformative period for Malte Månson. Together with our employees, management team and Board, we have significantly strengthened our market position, expanded our service offering and built a scalable platform for future growth. Looking ahead, we are excited to join forces with Citira. With a clear industrial vision and a strong strategic fit, Citira is the ideal partner to support Malte Månson’s continued growth and international expansion”, says Staffan Lindewald, CEO of Malte Månson Group.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
