• About XANO

XANO 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.

We develop, acquire and run niche engineering companies on the basis of entrepreneurship. Our vision is to create strong units that are sustainable in the long term from companies where economies of scale are utilised optimally. We aim to be a leading player that actively facilitates the transition to a more sustainable society and enterprise.

The Group companies offer unique products and solutions with associated services. There is a strong drive for innovation and development in each of the niche engineering companies in the XANO family. Our decentralised business model promotes the assumption of responsibility and contributes to preserving entrepreneurial drive, safeguarding expertise and making it possible for each individual company to achieve success by focusing on the things they do best.

We value a high level of further development, as well as an endeavour to achieve sustainable technical innovations and constantly improve at what we do. By using our combined knowledge and experience, we are ensuring that all the companies within the XANO Group will remain at the forefront in their respective markets

The XANO Group is made up of engineering companies that offer manufacturing and development services for industrial products and automation equipment. The Group is represented in the Nordic region, Estonia, the Netherlands, Poland, China, the USA and Australia. The operations are divided up into three business units: Industrial Products, Industrial Solutions and Precision Technology.

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. These may relate to projects encompassing everything from project management to installation and distribution or 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.

 

 

OUR VISION

Market leader in sustainable business

 

 

Our vision is based on our ambition to be not just an operator in sustainable business, but the leading player in the market. It shows sustainability as a core strategy, not just a temporary trend or a separate aspect, of our business.

This means that we strive to set the standard in the industries in which we operate. We want to be a company that others look up to when it comes to sustainable solutions, innovative business practices and responsible use of resources.

Placing sustainable business at the heart of our vision demonstrates our commitment to a fundamentally sustainable business model. We believe this can give us a unique market position in a transitional period while at the same time being absolutely necessary for our continued existence in the long term. We see sustainability as a driver of growth, innovation and profitability.

The tools we have to achieve our vision are based on our identity and values, which combine sustainability with business development. By allowing our strategy, mission statement, and focus on sustainable business to guide us, we establish a foundation where every part of the organisation aligns with our shared vision.

 

 

OUR PURPOSE

Building on legacy, engineering the future

 

 

XANO's purpose summarises how our stability and history combine with a strong drive to shape the future through technological development.

Building on legacy is about building on our own heritage and the values it brings, but it also refers to the companies we acquire, which are largely family-owned businesses with a history that we want to honour. We draw on the best of XANO’s unique heritage and that of its acquired subsidiaries, shaping it into the foundation of our identity as we carry it forward into the future.      

By knowing our history and who we are, we can confidently build and develop sustainably.

And this is where engineering the future comes in. The phrase reflects our willingness to actively create new opportunities through technology and innovation. It is a long-term commitment that goes beyond mere preservation, where the aim is to integrate the legacy of each acquisition and turn it into forward-looking solutions. For us, a sustainable future is essential, meaning that development and innovation must inevitably share this focus.

The key message of the Group’s purpose is to convey an identity that is reliable and dynamic. We cherish our roots while actively investing in development to meet future needs, striving to balance preservation with renewal.
