We develop companies and invest in people
DSD focuses on opportunities. The opportunities that companies and the people who work for them represent. We always want new and old forces to work together and pull in the same direction. That way we develop in parallel with the companies we get involved with.
As active owners, we have a strategic, dynamic portfolio consisting of companies that we are a part of and that are a part of us. For us, it’s about taking risks that we understand and realising the potential to create sustainable value and generate good results. We are a family-owned company founded in 1855, which has been the proud owner of companies involved in freight transport, passenger services and international shipping.
Business areas
We will be owners of technologically leading and innovative companies in the four business areas mobility, maritime and marine, tourism and health. Today, we have ownership in significant companies with a long history in bus transport, shipping and freight transport, at the same time as we explore and take part in new and groundbreaking business ideas within our business areas.
Our history
At DSD, we have the culture and history to look ahead and have a conscious relationship with the environment around us. We invest in people who want to realize groundbreaking ideas, create world-leading technology and contribute to the society we are part of. We have no ambition to follow developments.
