Overview

Polaris is a private equity firm focused on transforming mid-sized companies in the Nordics.

At Polaris, they believe that collaboration can make good companies great. Through their Nordic roots and relationships, they work closely with their portfolio companies to achieve shared visions and goals.

Polaris was founded as a private equity company in 1998.
