Why join forces?

The defence and critical‑infrastructure sector is changing, and long‑term success increasingly depends on capabilities that smaller, independent companies often struggle to access — scale, market reach, and specialised expertise.

CR Group creates a consolidated, sovereign space within the civil‑defence segment, giving companies the conditions to grow as part of a stronger whole.

By joining forces, we provide our companies with greater access, shared resources, and strategic support — enabling them to develop, compete, and contribute to a more resilient society.

Defence, government and critical infrastructure focus
We focus on companies that serve — or can serve — defence, government and critical‑infrastructure sectors.

Profitable and resilient companies
We partner with stable, profitable businesses with a solid financial base and room to develop.

Long‑term stability and contribution
We prioritise organisations built for sustained relevance, responsible growth, and long‑term impact.

What you can expect from us

You can expect a clear and transparent sales process, where you always know where we stand and what comes next. From the first conversation to the final agreement, we keep communication open and the path straightforward.

When joining forces, we shape the transition around your goals — whether that means continuity for your team, protecting the legacy you’ve built, or accelerating growth in new markets.
Above all, we treat this as a partnership. You have created something valuable, and our role is to strengthen it. Together, we build the conditions for long‑term growth within a trusted ecosystem focused on government and critical infrastructure.

How we manage

When you join CR Group, you keep your identity, culture, and leadership. We operate with decentralised responsibility, supporting where it adds value and staying out of the way where it doesn’t. After the acquisition, we appoint a board, bring resources, industry insight, and a network that strengthens your position in government and critical infrastructure.

Our focus is long‑term: sustainable growth, responsible development, and continued relevance in a sector where trust and stability matter most.

Top of my agenda as CEO

Erik Hjelmstedt

At CR Group, our mission is to strengthen Europe’s resilience by creating the right conditions for innovative tech and security‑relevant companies to grow. The defence and critical‑infrastructure landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, and success increasingly depends on scale, market access, and specialised expertise — areas where smaller, independent actors often face structural constraints.

”We have the means and the discipline to incorporate 1-2 new entities to our group per year, expanding a coordinated ecosystem of sovereign European capabilities. I am convinced that the civil‑defence segment benefits from a more consolidated and coherent environment. By bringing these companies together, we contribute to a safer and more resilient Europe.”

In the head of the CFO

Martin Aronsson

CR Group AB contributes to strengthening Europe’s resilience by creating the conditions for innovative tech and security‑relevant companies to grow. The ongoing transformation of the defence and critical‑infrastructure sector increasingly requires scale, market access, and specialised expertise — areas where smaller, independent actors often face limitations.

“We operate with decentralized responsibility, enabling each company to remain a trusted national partner while gaining the financial discipline, resources, and industry insight of the Group.”
