Axel Johnson Inc.’s current holdings are focused in the energy distribution, materials handling, water, medical device, green building and logistics sectors. We are optimistic about the long-term fundamentals for these industries, and we are actively exploring opportunities to expand our participation in them through our existing companies and through new acquisitions.
Our interests are not, however, limited to our existing areas of ownership. We are constantly evaluating opportunities across a broad range of industrial, service, business-to-business and consumer-oriented industries. We are focused, first and foremost, on finding the right kind of company with the right kind of leadership. It is less the specific products and services delivered, and less the industry and sector, than it is the character and competitive position of a specific company that determines our level of interest.
