The company has a complete value chain with its own production machinery and 27 employees that are based at the company headquarter in Stenkullen outside Gothenburg and in Richmond, Virgina (USA), Under the leadership of Krister Svantesson the company has experienced a solid development, invested in its plants and is expected to achieve approx. 70 million SEK in 2024 revenues with good profitability.

”After having been at the helm for more than ten years I look forward to welcoming Sareq as a majority owner so that we together can take the next steps in the company’s development and capitalize on several of the growth opportunities that exist in the U.S. and the rest of the world. During the sale process I have obtained a very positive impression of the team at Sareq and their plans for Mark Bric.”
- Krister Svantesson, CEO Mark Bric

”Mark Bric is an extraordinarily well run and successful company and a market leader in a niche that is below the radar to most of us. We see a great opportunity to take Mark Bric to the next level together with Krister and the rest of his team based on the company’s efficient manufacturing process and rock-solid reputation in the marketplace when it comes to customer service. In addition, it is a tremendous pleasure to be able to welcome the first portfolio company from the Swedish West Coast to the Sareq family.”
