About Kistefos

Kistefos AS is a private investment company owned by Christen Sveaas. It manages a diversified portfolio of companies in offshore, shipping, financial services, technology and real estate, with the aim of creating value through active ownership, board representation and involvement in operational and strategic work.

The investment mandate is flexible across sector, geography, ticket size and holding period. Portfolio companies range from start-ups to mature businesses, mainly in Europe. The company is not a customer-facing business; its returns come from its investments.

Kistefos was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Oslo, where its investment portfolio is managed. The company is the main sponsor of the Kistefos Museum and Sculpture Park at Jevnaker and funds scholarships at Harvard Kennedy School, IE University and the University of St. Gallen.
