Pamica Group has acquired a majority stake in Sweden-based e-commerce company Ställning Karlskoga.
With Pamica as majority investor on board, the company plans on developing its digital presence as well as its payments and logistics infrastructure. Its growth strategy includes growing its current product range and expanding the company internationally outside its local Swedish market.

The GP held a final close on SEK 495m for its latest fund, Pamica 2, in May 2018. The fund will invest in 8-12 unlisted Swedish SMEs with enterprise values between SEK 1.6-1.8bn.
