Altor has acquired a majority stake in the fast-growing Swedish home appliances brand Aarke – best known for their premium home carbonation machines with a sleek, minimalistic Scandinavian industrial design.

What is the secret sauce of Altor? A company with a number of resembling traits among our team members – but also contradictions and diversity of thought. Something we believe is quite unique and distinctive. See our film here!

Today there is truly a war for talent. Altor has been successful at attracting two investment team members outside its traditional locations – from one of the most prestigious spots in the world: Harvard University.

Promoting the next generation of leaders is essential at Altor. We have a long-standing tradition of growing talent from within and with our broad spectrum of companies and opportunities, personal growth is at the heart of what we do and believe in.

Altor’s new Head of ESG, Stephanie Hubold, joins with a clear mission. “Environmental, social, and governance topics are too often looked at from a pure compliance and risk angle.” she explains. “Actually, high ESG performance can be an important driver of financial value creation.”
