Headquartered in Holstebro, Denmark, TCM Group develops, produces and sells quality kitchens. The Group has a broad and innovative range of kitchens, selling its products under the well-known brands Svane, Tvis and Modulia. TCM’s core market is Denmark with an increasing focus on the rest of the Nordic region, and an expanding network of stores across Denmark and Norway. In total, TCM has 300 employees, with production facilities in Tvis and Horsens.
“Over recent years, TCM has increased its market share and revenue despite a challenging market, which speaks highly of the management team. We believe the Group is well-positioned through its strong brands, clear focus on product innovation, and high customer satisfaction. Our intention is to strengthen TCM’s Nordic development by providing financial support and industrial expertise,” says Kristian Carlsson Kemppinen, Partner at IK Investment Partners, and advisor to IK Funds.
