With a focus on long-term entrepreneurship and social commitment

We are an entrepreneur-driven company owned by the Dan Olofsson family. Danir was founded in 1986, and our role is to own and develop our companies while also contributing to a better society. We do this through entrepreneurship, long-term commitment and community involvement.

We would like to share with you what’s been going on during the year. Read about our companies and social commitments in our yearbook and get to know some of the people who play an important part in the results that we are so proud of, year after year.

Our holdings

Entrepreneurship and local drive build our success

Since the start in 1986, we have shown how our long-term approach, entrepreneurship and driven employees create long-lasting success. And this is the common denominator for all our holdings.

Continuity creates value on several levels, and worldwide

Our entrepreneur-driven and decentralised leadership plays an important role in our subsidiary groups being so successful. We encourage local drive and energy in order to create the success that makes us stable, reliable and strong. Both as a group and as an employer.

As a group and as an entrepreneur, we believe that not only do we have a responsibility for our employees and our customers but also for the world around us. That is why we want to be involved, committed and to contribute to making the world just a little better.

Some of our commitments are greater than others, but we have noticed that it is often the small things that make the biggest difference.
