Idun invests in Nordbergs Tekniska – a leading distributor of technical and engineered polymer materials
Idun Industrier AB (publ) ("Idun") has acquired 85% of the shares in Nordbergs Tekniska AB ("Nordbergs"), a leading company in Sweden within the distribution of highly specialized technical and engineered polymer materials. The materials generally have unique properties that are necessary for the specific application area, such as medical technology or other demanding industrial applications.
Nordbergs was founded in 1970 and has since gradually built a strong position in the Swedish market for technical and engineered polymer materials, providing materials and components with highly demanding functional requirements, such as heat resistance, chemical resistance or electrical conductivity. Few other companies in Sweden know these products as well as Nordbergs, which also keeps stock of materials and components that are essential for its customers’ production.
The business is characterized by recurring customer needs and very long-standing customer relationships, where the company’s deep technical expertise, broad product range and ability to quickly support customers are central parts of the offering. Customers are found in areas such as medical technology, defense, telecom, mechatronics, industry and universities.
The company is located in Vallentuna, north of Stockholm. Net sales amount to approximately SEK 77 million with good profitability.
Of the current owners, all who are currently active in the company will continue in their operational roles, and the brothers Valdemar, Oskar and Pontus Nordberg will also remain as shareholders. This means that Nordbergs will continue to be run by the same people and in the same successful way as historically.
"It feels good for the future to have Idun as a long-term ownership partner. We have built the company over many years and look forward to continuing to develop the business together with Idun, with the same focus on customer satisfaction, quality, service and fast deliveries as always," says Valdemar Nordberg, CEO and shareholder of Nordbergs.
"Nordbergs is a unique company in this highly specialized industry. The company has deep knowledge of technical and engineered polymer materials and their applications. In addition, the business is characterized by quality, a high level of service and close customer relationships. We are proud to have been entrusted with the opportunity to invest in Nordbergs and look forward to continuing to develop the company together with Valdemar, Oskar, Pontus, Ann and the rest of the team," says Henrik Mella, CEO of Idun Industrier.
Nordbergs will be included in Idun’s Manufacturing business area. The acquisition was carried out through a wholly owned subsidiary of Idun and was completed on June 26, 2026. The acquisition is expected to have a marginal positive impact on Idun’s earnings for 2026 and is financed through a combination of own funds and existing credit facilities. In connection with the acquisition and the previously communicated early redemption of the company’s last outstanding bond of SEK 220 million, Idun has also increased its revolving credit facility from SEK 450 million to SEK 670 million, which contributes to continued financial flexibility for future investments.
