Skånska IXX is a family business that has managed to combine continued close involvement with the strength of a larger organization. Today, two years after they were acquired by Nordlo, profitability is higher than ever.

– We have increased capacity but with the same freedom. Customers like it, they want to talk to the person who has the mandate to make decisions, says Mattias Christensson, CEO of Nordlo in the South.

Nordlo's operations in Skåne received a strong boost when IXX IT-partner was acquired in 2024. The 40-year-old family business was founded by Monika Christensson and was run from 2014 by her sons Mattias, Fredrik and Olof.

– We were looking for a partner to grow with, who could make us more professional while maintaining the family and entrepreneurial spirit.

Mattias Christensson is currently CEO of Nordlo in Syd, with offices in Malmö, Ängelholm and Helsingborg. In the last two years, turnover in the region has increased from SEK 95 million to SEK 126 million, while profitability has almost doubled.

– Nordlo should be a close and long-term IT partner. For us, this is expressed in working in a familiar way and being ourselves.

Nordlo's acquisition model is based on the companies that become part of the group continuing to be run locally, with their own responsibility for the business. This means that decisions are made close to the customer, without long decision-making processes.

– This allows us to be fast, flexible and adapt to the customer's reality. It provides a unique relationship and is important for many companies in this region. The feeling of freedom and personal responsibility is contagious to everyone in the company, we are not just a production unit in a large group.

Local customer work is combined with resources from Nordlo's national organization, which means customers have access to broad specialist expertise in areas such as cloud services, IT security and AI, while maintaining close contact with their local partner.

For Nordlo Syd, the resources have made it possible to broaden the offering and handle larger and more complex assignments. The ambition is to reach out more widely in the region.

– We have put a lot of effort into putting the organization together, coordinating the offices and creating a stable foundation. Now we are ready to grow further.

Mattias' brothers and founder Monika are still involved, today as minority owners in Nordlo Group.

– They are proud of where we are today, where we are now growing as Nordlo and still have the local soul. Nordlo's way of working with local roots and employees who are unusually committed is a model that works, we are proof of that, says Mattias Christensson, CEO Northland in the South.

Since Nordlo's formation in 2018, 19 entrepreneur-led companies have been acquired in Sweden and Norway. In 2024, the main owner FSN Capital Partners contributed SEK 1.5 billion to accelerate expansion.

Nordlo Syd shows how local entrepreneurial spirit can grow in a larger IT group

Nordlo Syd is a clear example of how a local family business can become part of a larger organization without losing its identity. The article highlights how IXX IT-partner in Skåne has continued to develop after Nordlo's acquisition in 2024, while maintaining customer proximity, local roots and a strong entrepreneurial spirit.

From IXX IT partner to Nordlo Syd

IXX IT-partner was founded by Monika Christensson and continued to be run by her sons Mattias, Fredrik and Olof Christensson. After the integration into Nordlo, the business has continued to grow in Malmö, Ängelholm and Helsingborg. Nordlo Syd has increased its turnover from 95 MSEK to 126 MSEK and at the same time almost doubled its profitability.

Local decision-making as a competitive advantage

A central part of Nordlo Syd's development is that decisions are still made close to the customer. Mattias Christensson describes how customers appreciate talking to people who have the mandate to make decisions. The short path between customer needs and action strengthens relationships and makes operations faster, more flexible and more relevant for companies in the region.

Greater capacity without losing the local soul

Nordlo Syd combines local responsibility with resources from Nordlo's national organization. For customers, this means access to broader expertise in cloud services, IT security and AI while maintaining the relationship with the local IT partner. The model makes it possible to handle larger and more complex assignments without losing proximity to the customer.

What does this mean for Swedish companies?

For Swedish companies, Nordlo Syd's development shows that growth does not have to come at the expense of local presence. The article shows how companies can gain personal contact, faster decisions and access to greater resources through an IT partner that combines an entrepreneurial culture with national specialist expertise.

What does this mean for companies in Skåne?

For companies in Malmö, Helsingborg, Ängelholm and the rest of Skåne, Nordlo Syd's development means a stronger regional IT partner with greater capacity, a broader offering and continued local roots. This strengthens competition in the Skåne IT market and gives customers more opportunities to work with a partner who both knows the region and has greater resources behind them.

Risks and opportunities

The opportunity lies in Nordlo Syd continuing to grow by combining family culture, local freedom and national capacity. The risk is that the close customer relationship and entrepreneurial spirit may weaken if the expansion does not continue to be built on the same local responsibility, speed and personal commitment that characterized IXX IT-partner.

Nordlo Syd as an example of acquisition-driven growth with local identity

Since Nordlo's formation in 2018, several entrepreneur-led companies in Sweden and Norway have become part of the group. Nordlo Syd shows how this model can work when local leadership, customer relations and corporate culture are allowed to remain central parts of the business even after an acquisition.
