Local leadership
Our business is built on the fundamental belief that infrastructure development and maintenance is best served by strong local leaders. Local leaders know the customers and market deeply, know the best local employees, and attract the most talented people in their respective local markets by offering a unique platform and working culture.
Business first – the Eleda model to support
The Eleda model combines strong local leadership with the benefits of a larger Group. All Eleda leaders and employees focus on the core business and are freed from administrative tasks as far as possible. They benefit from sharing knowledge and resources with other companies in the Group and receive support and tools from Eleda centrally in such areas as governance, financial control, project management, M&A, strategic development, succession planning, and ESG.
We encourage entrepreneurship and reward achievements – with aligned incentives, often including ownership in Eleda – numerous training opportunities and knowledge sharing within and between our companies, which drives high quality and superior operational performance.
Attract talent and well-selected projects
We have managed to consistently grow our talent base with additional expertise, leading to higher efficiency and the ability to increase our market share. The number of FTEs has increased organically by 8% p.a. over the past four years. Eleda’s culture, centered on accountability and prudency, ensures a highly selective approach to the markets that we operate in and the projects we choose to participate in, which leads to diversified and low-risk exposure.

Henrik Bolinder, CEO Craftor
