Procuritas exits its investment in Pierce Group AB (publ)

On Friday, November 29, 2024, Procuritas completed the sale of all its shares in Pierce Group AB (publ) to a limited number of investors including Siba Invest AB.

Procuritas teamed up with the Pierce founders in 2014, attracted by its strong niche and leading market position in the Nordics, with great potential for expansion across Europe. Procuritas has worked closely with the Pierce management team to professionalize the company and drive growth by appointing a new management and entering new markets, building a fantastic assortment and developing the distribution capability.

Procuritas helped the company go public on Nasdaq Stockholm in 2021. Since the IPO, Procuritas has maintained a minority shareholding in the company, which now has been sold. During Procuritas time as owners of Pierce, the Company has developed into a European e-commerce leader in the motorcycle gear and accessories market and as a result the Company’s net sales has grown 8 times since 2014.
