Procuritas Capital Investors V (“PCI V”) and the founders of Sofacompany and Scandinavian Design (“the Group”), have signed an agreement in which PCI V becomes the majority owner of the Group.

The Group is selling affordable upholstery furniture with high design content through two business lines: Sofacompany is a fast-growing online retailer selling directly to design conscious end consumers in ten countries; and Scandinavian Design serves furniture customers in over 40 countries world-wide with quality design furniture.  A large part of sales is towards the online channel.

We believe there are great opportunities to continue the strong growth with solid profitability and we feel comfortable we can add significant value, given our experience from working with entrepreneurs and high growth businesses” comments Mattias Feiff, Partner at Procuritas Partners AB, advisor to PCI V.
