Accent Equity has signed an agreement to invest in Swedlog. The founder, Magnus Åkesson, together with management, will co-invest alongside Accent Equity and continue to develop the company.
Swedlog is a leading Nordic provider of premium ready-to-eat fruit, with key focus on avocado. The company combines advanced AI-driven Softripe ripening technology with deep in-house expertise in ripening and quality. In recent years, this combination has transformed the market for ready-to-eat fruit, delivering consistently higher-quality fruit with better taste than fruit ripened using traditional technologies. In addition, shelf-life is significantly extended, reducing waste for retailers and consumers alike.
Swedlog has grown rapidly in recent years and today serves leading grocery retail and foodservice customers across Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland, with sales of more than SEK 400 million.
"We are highly impressed by Swedlog and the achievements of Magnus and his team in recent years. The company has built a unique position across the Nordics by dramatically improving the quality standards for ready-to-eat avocados, combining advanced technology and deep ripening expertise with an entrepreneurial culture and a strong customer focus. Together with the team, we see significant opportunities to continue the successful journey and internationalise the business, expand into new fruit categories and grow Swedlog into a broader platform,” says Oscar Claeson, Partner at Accent Equity.
“We welcome Accent Equity as a new majority owner of Swedlog and very much look forward to the journey ahead. What began as an idea to give consumers fruit they can trust has grown into a strong Nordic business. With Accent Equity by our side, we can take it further by entering new categories and expanding into new markets," says Magnus Åkesson, Founder of Swedlog
Closing of the transaction is expected in November 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
