Key growth areas
Alligo prioritises investments in four identified growth areas across the Group’s Nordic markets. Sales of services and own brands, store sales and sales to the construction industry all provide strong opportunities for profitable organic growth.
Services
Services represent an area with significant development potential and favourable conditions for increased growth. Examples of services that Alligo focuses on developing further include Smart Service and ReCare, a full-service solution for workwear.
In-store sales
Stores are Alligo’s most profitable sales channel and provide customers with immediate access to products and advice. The focus is on improving the store network and store sales, primarily in Finland but also in Norway, to increase sales to small and medium-sized enterprises.
Construction industry
The construction industry is an attractive segment with many small and medium-sized companies, storedriven sales and high gross margins. Market share is currently low, particularly in Finland and Norway, but growth potential is strong across all markets.
Own brands
Own brands enable Alligo to offer competitive products with high quality and good margins across several product areas and price segments. Alligo’s own brands account for a significant share of sales within workwear and personal protective equipment.
