Viant Capital LLC (“Viant”) is pleased to announce that it introduced Industrifonden to a large US institutional investor that acquired Industrifonden’s entire remaining interest in Arcam AB valued at 259.2 million Swedish Krona (approximately US$31.1 million).

“This is by far one of Industrifonden’s best investments ever,” said Thomas Carlström, Investment Manager at Industrifonden. “For 17 years we played a part in building Arcam with its pioneering technology into the international company it is today. Arcam’s future looks bright, but our role is done. This successful investment now provides us with the capital for new investments.”
