A winning combination

Our leading strengths are our people, our entrepreneurship and our commitment to long-term partnerships. These represent a winning combination that makes it possible for us to meet our stakeholders’ expectations and continue to develop.

Our business model breeds success

At its core XANO has always been an engineering company, but our entrepreneurial, decentralised business model is what sets us apart. We acquire, manage and develop niche engineering companies with an entrepreneurial background, and each new business to join the ever-growing XANO family brings with it a new perspective and unique technical expertise.

Combining agility with long-term thinking

Our business model is the key to our lasting success. In a decentralised organisation, it’s easier to quickly find solutions and make decisions. In order to respond to the needs of a rapidly changing industry, our companies work intensively to optimise their resources.

A smart acquisition strategy

Our acquisition strategy is based on intuition, long-term thinking and an unwavering focus on delivering profitable growth for our investors. Our primary mission is to provide support and furnish our subsidiaries with the tools to help them thrive without restricting their entrepreneurial drive.

Our employees

Our employees are our most important resource – it is their expertise and commitment that form the basis for our entire operation.
Our customers demand a partner with a good understanding of their business and strong technical expertise that creates genuine benefits. Our employees possess these attributes, and make use of their knowledge and service-minded approach to work alongside our customers in long-term partnerships.

The Group

The XANO Group is made up of engineering companies that offer manufacturing and development services for industrial products and automation equipment. Each unit is anchored locally and is developed according to its own circumstances. At the same time, being part of a Group creates economies of scale for the companies and their business partners. Acquisitions are an important part of the business concept, and since 1980, more than 60 businesses have been acquired that complement the existing operations, add technical expertise or provide access to new market segments.

Proprietary products and systems
Over the years, many of the Group’s companies have successfully developed their own solutions within their respective fields of expertise. Within Industrial Products, for example, we have a wide range of proprietary boats and marine products, while in the Industrial Solutions business area we have systems developed in-house that automate and streamline customers’ production processes.

Customer-specific manufacturing
A large proportion of the Group’s operations are focused on direct customer assignments This can relate to projects encompassing everything from project management to installation and distribution. It can also include pure manufacturing services concentrating on various methods for developing products made of metal and plastic. In addition, we also offer logistics services such as storage, packaging and distribution.
