Established in 1937 by Skandinaviska Kredit, Custos Group has deep roots in Sweden's industrial history. Originally founded as an investment vehicle for the acquisition of shares the bank had received following the 1930s market crash, AB Custos controlled strategic stakes in prominent companies like Volvo, Skanska, Swedish Match, SEB, SCA, Huvudstaden, and Billerud. Over the years, the business has proven to be extremely lucrative, earning Custos an eminent reputation as one of the most powerful and influential investment companies in Sweden.
Today, Custos Group is led by Christen Ager-Hanssen, an innovative entrepreneur and investor known for his long-range vision and little tolerance for unprofitability in the business world. Operating from its head office in London with satellite offices in Stockholm and Oslo, Custos Group continues to build upon its rich history of successful investment and disruption.
Custos Group is the sole owner of subsidiary Metro Media House, one of Sweden's biggest and most innovative media houses. Metro has been structured as a mass appeal brand alongside a digital news company with the largest circulation. In a trailblazing move, Custos and Metro Media House have launched a groundbreaking media-for-revenue and media-for-equity business model, solidifying their position as industry leaders.
With a keen eye on the future, Custos Group is actively seeking the enterprising disruptive innovators of tomorrow and world-beaters in digital disruption.
