    The fact that only companies that are among the 20% strongest in their markets, are included in the HG family, means that we can trust each other’s independent decision making. The local businesses continue to build on their established local-market specialists with proven track records and retain their strong local brands, employees and customer relationships.  

    In fact, we celebrate the strong local heritage, with some of our businesses being extremely well-established in their regions, many operating for over 50 years, such as C Møllman established in 1879 in Denmark and run by 5th generation craftsperson, Hans Übelacker established in 1929 in Germany, and run by 2nd generation and Miljönären/Lindfeldts Måleri AB established in 1944 in Sweden. 

    HG’s role is to support and leverage on the local businesses’ key competences and provide best practice, professional support and national coordination.
