MVI establishes Nordic specialist manufacturing platform through partnership with Be-Pe, Prolego and HITAB

MVI Fund III has partnered with Be-Pe Plåt & Mekaniska Verkstad AB and its subsidiary Prolego AB, together with Hartvig Industriteknik AB (HITAB), to establish a new Nordic specialist manufacturing platform.

‍

The partnership brings together complementary capabilities within advanced metal components, electromechanical assembly, and prototype and series production for customers with high technical requirements. The companies operate across critical parts of the industrial and infrastructure value chain.

‍

The initiative aligns with MVI’s investment focus on societal transformation and reflects a clear strategic ambition to build a scaled, high-quality group within specialist manufacturing. The platform is positioned to benefit from underlying structural trends, including increased industrial investment, rising demand for precision-led and value-added production, growing requirements linked to energy efficiency and automation, and continued nearshoring of manufacturing capacity to the Nordics.

‍

By combining operational expertise with strategic support, MVI and the management teams aim to strengthen the offering to existing customers, expand capabilities across the value chain and pursue further growth opportunities, both organically and through selected add-on acquisitions.

‍

The founders have reinvested and remain in their executive roles, working in close partnership with MVI to drive the next phase of development. Together, the parties share a long-term ambition to establish a leading Nordic group within specialist manufacturing.

Over time, we have built a business with strong technical expertise and solid customer relationships, and through this structure we create better conditions to further develop our offering, strengthen our competitiveness, and enhance our value proposition in the market.” – Mikael Pettersson, Be-Pe

”The partnership creates a stronger industrial group with complementary capabilities and a shared long-term ambition. Becoming part of a platform with strategic support and resources for continued development provides us with strong conditions to grow, invest, and seize new opportunities together with like-minded companies. We look very positively on the journey ahead.” – Peter Ek & Patrik Ek, HITAB
