SEHED Byggmästargruppen, a Swedish construction company, has made a robust entrance into the market following its public listing on the NGM Nordic SME in February 2025. With its shares oversubscribed four times, the stock has soared by approximately 25% since the debut. The company's business model is built on decentralized responsibility and strong craftsmanship, with a focus primarily on the renovation, conversion, and extension (ROT) sector, which constitutes about 70% of its projects compared to only 30% for new constructions.
Despite navigating a challenging landscape in the construction market, SEHED reported stable results for 2024 and the first half of 2025, securing critical contracts including a major partnership for the renovation of 1,400 apartments with Botkyrkabyggen, along with agreements involving other significant stakeholders like Rikshem and HSB Brf Tibble. CEO Magnus Zetterlund emphasized that the company's decentralized organizational structure fosters crucial local market connections while maintaining expertise and efficiency in operations.
In addition to its organic growth strategies, SEHED has actively pursued acquisitions, including the recent purchase of Henrik Eriksson Bygg AB in Hälsingland, enhancing its operational footprint. The company's commitment to sustainability and early engagement in projects reflects its strategic outlook for future growth. Currently, about 15% of SEHED's shares are in free trade, positioning the company well for continued development in a resilient yet fragile market.
