Business Concept
New Wave Group is a growth group that designs, acquires and develops brands and products in the corporate-, sports-, gifts- and home furnishings sectors. The Group will achieve synergies by coordinating design, purchasing, marketing, warehousing and distribution of its product range. To ensure good risk diversification, the Group will market its products in the promo market and the retail market.
Operating segments
The Group divides its operations into three operating segments: Corporate, Sports & Leisure, and Gifts & Home Furnishings. Within Group management there are managers with responsibility for each operating segment in order to coordinate operations. The products for each brand follow the operating segments, but have separate sales teams for the different sales channels, promo and retail.

The companies
New Wave Group’s organization is decentralized, with a high degree of independence and self-determination being delegated to company management. The objective is for the companies to be run in an entrepreneurial spirit, while at the same time enjoying the benefits of belonging to a large group of companies. The Group therefore consists of a large number of operational companies, approximately 70 in total. Board meetings are normally held three times a year in each company or sub-group. The composition of the Boards depends on the company’s direction and its stage of development. In addition to Group management, the expertise of CEOs in “mature” companies are utilized in the Boards of local subsidiaries. The organizational model chosen by New Wave Group provides for effective benchmarking of profitability, capital tied up and growth between companies, brands and markets.
