Förvaltnings AB Wasatornet
Strategic Concepts & Mechanics
Primary Evidence
"What I took with me when I left the partnership in 1983 was a rather small property in Frihamnen in Stockholm, Haifa 1, worth around 30 million SEK. There was a film laboratory for Sveriges Television there. It was the foundation of Förvaltnings AB Wasatornet, which from the start had us four as owners with forty-two percent for me, ten percent for Elisabeth, and twenty-four percent each for our two children, Carl and Eric. From the very beginning, we discussed all our business at the kitchen table and always pursued joint decisions. And that's how it still is."
"The family has its main ownership in Latour via two privately owned companies, Förvaltnings AB Wasatornet and Wasatornet Holding AB. These companies, in turn, own shares in some companies but do not engage in competitive business with any of the listed companies. My family and I own seventy-seven percent of the share capital and control eighty percent of the votes in Latour."
