Comments from Conny Ryk, CEO of Vestum:
Today we welcome KylKontroll to Vestum! We have followed KylKontroll for a long time, partly thanks to existing collaborations with other portfolio companies in Vestum. The company is our first acquisition in climate control, which is very exciting. KylKontroll has been a successful player in the Gothenburg region for almost 30 years, and we see, just like many others, that the need for energy efficiency is increasing rapidly. There is a growing demand for cooling and heat pumps as well as heat recovery with environmentally friendly refrigerants, which benefits KylKontroll. Over the past five years, the company has generated impressive profitable growth with an average EBIT margin of 14%. We are proud to have attracted yet another group of great entrepreneurs, says Conny Ryk, CEO of Vestum.
