Spiltan Invest’s Long-term Partnership Strategy Leads to Sustained Success

Spiltan Invest, a Swedish investment firm valued at approximately 8.5 billion kronor, exemplifies a unique and long-term investment philosophy focused on collaborating closely with entrepreneurs. According to Göran Pallmar, Spiltan Invest’s COO, the company prioritizes minority stakes in mature, profitable unlisted companies, emphasizing partnerships built on shared vision, governance alignment, and mutual growth over time.

Unlike many venture capital or private equity firms that impose strict return demands and exit plans, Spiltan Invest takes a patient, engaged approach without predefined timelines. Pallmar highlights this by stating, “We don't plan for divorce when we get married,” reflecting their commitment to lasting business relationships.

The firm’s origins trace back to the 1980s when a group of friends created an investment club that evolved into the substantial investment company it is today. Spiltan Invest aims not only to provide capital but also to contribute valuable experience and an extensive network, often turning down early-stage opportunities in favor of supporting established businesses with compatible ownership dynamics and a focus on sustainable profitability.

This distinctive long-term strategy enables Spiltan Invest to be an active, supportive partner, helping foster business growth while maintaining stability—an approach that continues to define their market position and success.
