Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker is a subsidiary to Augustinus Foundation with a core focus on dedicated ownership of Danish businesses.

Their history dates back to 1750, when the Augustinus family founded a tobacco mill in Copenhagen, which developed into one of the leading companies in Denmark. The focus on long-term value creation is based on this tradition. Their commitment to the Danish business society and the success the family, and later Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker, has achieved is established through dedicated ownership of Danish businesses in various industries.

They are dedicated and engaged owners, but respect the difference between ownership and management. They contribute with a loyal dialogue and commitment, but refrain from interfering in management of the businesses.

It is their belief that Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker’s long-term investment profile contributes to creating additional value for the benefit of both Danish businesses and society. Through their ownership they  aim to create and maintain jobs as well as competencies in Denmark.

They have built close relationships with a large number of businesses for many years. As evidenced by their long-term commitment, they are patient owners. They understand and support that investments may drive additional costs in the short-term, for the benefits of the company in the long run.

Future proofing companies and society ranks high on Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker’s agenda. They are in continuous dialogue with their companies to ensure that they have a sustainable strategy. Their approach to ESG is in line with their philosophy of trust and responsibility, and in addition to contributing positively to society financially, they also ensure the competitiveness of companies in the long term. They do not think business should be conducted without responsible ESG behavior.

They are dedicated and engaged owners, but respect that ownership and day-to-day management are two different disciplines.
