Dedicated long-term investments in the Paper industry

We strongly believe in a hands-on approach

Entrepreneurs at heart

As a Family Office for long-term investments in the paper industry, we draw on many years of experience in the paper business when deciding which investments to pursue. We only invest long-term and always aim to allow our companies to grow at a natural pace and to develop in accordance with the dynamics of the global paper market.

We are all people with long experience from the paper industry.  We strongly believe in a hands-on approach, often taking part in the management of the companies we invest in. We believe this gives us the flexibility needed to move as the market moves, and it also gives us the ability to expand our own knowledge of this rapidly evolving business – being there is the key to being prepared.

Everyone who works at Harbour Investment or in one of our companies values true integrity and mutual trust – for us, these are core values that guide us every day.

We invest in the paper industry

In a digital age, who needs paper?
Well, we all do.

The global paper industry is on the rise and is estimated to reach $ 80 billion by 2024. Almost half the global paper market is dedicated to packaging, and a further third of the market is dedicated to specialised paper products (source: Statista). With the market becoming ever more specialised and with new products emerging all the time, the market needs dedicated investment partners with a profound understanding of megatrends, industry-specific challenges and sustainability issues.

The mission of Harbour Investment is to invest long-term in the global paper industry. We are a Family Office with a passion for paper products and with decades of experience in this highly specialised industry. 

Our investment portfolio covers a range of production and sales companies focusing on paper rolls, self-adhesive labels, linerless labels and flexible packaging in the European Market, where the tradition for development and production of high-quality paper products is particularly strong. Our mission is to acquire such businesses and transform them into companies with a healthy future.

Real estate

Real estate investments
Harbour Investment invests in private and residential properties with a long-term gain in mind. We invest in townhouses near recreational areas with extensive sports facilities, and with the opportunity for outdoor life and creativity in a relaxed atmosphere. The properties are built in family-friendly areas with playgrounds, modern kindergarten, and schools nearby along with lots of green spaces. The properties are made in modern style using high-quality equipment.
