In Kistefos, we prize quality in both the investment and ownership phase as we are convinced these to be the critical factors for the successful long-term creation of value. The ability to develop a good analytical basis for decision-making and following up decision-making procedures in a thorough and professional manner reduces risk and helps to guarantee an attractive return on capital invested.
