JOBmeal Sverige AB as well as 18 local companies within JOBmeal (“JOBmeal” or the “Company”) have merged into one company while Valedo Partners Fund II AB (“Valedo”) invests in JOBmeal. The investment is made in partnership with JOBmeal’s management team and a large group of key employees. With Valedo as investor, the Company will be given additional resources to strengthen its customer offering and to drive further growth through cooperation and sharing of best practices within the Company.
JOBmeal was founded in 2000 by a number of local companies with a similar service and product offering focused on office coffee solutions. As a result of JOBmeal’s attractive customer offering, local presence and focus on service excellence, the Company has established a leading market position in Sweden. JOBmeal offers a broad range of coffee machines and service concepts through 25 local offices, covering the country from Skåne in the south to Kiruna in the north. JOBmeal is Sweden’s largest, Swedish owned, nationwide supplier of vending services. The Company has in recent years experienced strong organic growth and sales amounts to more than SEK 400 million. The Company has approximately 235 employees.
In connection with Valedo’s investment, Fredrik Mossberg joined as group CEO:
“JOBmeal has since its foundation demonstrated stable growth built on local presence and close relationships with our customers. I am proud of our dedicated colleagues who have facilitated the strong market position the Company enjoys today. Through the partnership with Valedo, we are excited to continue developing JOBmeal and feel enthusiastic about the journey ahead of us. JOBmeal’s daily work will continue as it always has with the ambition to further develop and improve our offerings towards our customers.”
