Duroc was founded in 1987 with the idea of laser hardening hardening horseshoes. When Duroc was introduced to the stock market in the mid-1990s laser-processing technology was the only business. During the years, operations have been developed, acquired but also sold or otherwise discontinued. With the acquisition of IFG, we have become a substantially larger and more international industrial group. Here is an overview of our historical development.

Duroc strives to build and develop a business group with high-quality subsidiaries within several sectors. With a defined acquisition process, Duroc is able to create value from the acquisition date. Duroc strives for long-term ownership of the portfolio companies. The subsidiaries are closest to the customers and thus understands the market and customer needs best. The governance model is decentralized and subsidiaries are responsible for their earnings performance. We see entrepreneurship as a basis for healthy and profitable growth.

The Group’s companies are stable companies with solid long-term earnings and development potential. The companies build their business on in-depth knowledge of both technology and the market. Duroc takes an active role as owner and contributes to the development of each business. By investing in the existing companies and by acquiring new companies, the Duroc Group creates value for the shareholders.
