Welcome to
this year’s magazine
The time has come to summarize what was an
eventful year for Mellby Gård, to say the least.
Although many major changes and events took place
in 2024, our summary of the year in the form of our
Annual Magazine is the same as ever. It will provide
you with an insight into our operations beyond the
media headlines, and you will meet key people in
and surrounding the Mellby Gård sphere.
The fact that I am writing this introduction this year is one
of the changes that took place in the Mellby Gård Group
at the end of 2024, when I was entrusted with succeeding
Johan Andersson as CEO following his 11 years in the post. I would,
however, like to emphasise that although I, as the new CEO, am not
part of the family, Mellby Gård’s ownership philosophy remains
unchanged – to be long-term, active owners in the companies in
which we invest.
There is no doubt that Mellby Gård is on solid ground. The Group
had another record year, despite turmoil and uncertainty in
the economy and the market. Three major macro trends are
constantly present in the Group’s daily work and development –
geopolitics, AI and digitalization, and sustainability. In this year’s
magazine, we take a deeper dive into these three areas.
I would like to conclude by extending my warmest thanks to you,
the person who is now holding our Annual Magazine in your hands,
for taking the time to gain an insight into our businesses. I wish
you a pleasant reading experience!
Mikael Helmerson,
CEO, Mellby Gård
