The shares will be traded on Nasdaq Stockholm’s Small Cap segment under the same ticker (HANZA) and ISIN code (SE0005878543).

“HANZA is a profitable and fast-growing company with a new and efficient model for product manufacturing. When we listed HANZA on First North back in year 2014, the group sales amounted to SEK 985 million. In year 2018, our sales increased to SEK 1,811 million. With this development, it is natural to move up to the main market. The list change takes place after a comprehensive review of the group, which gives a quality stamp on the achievements so far, and creates a security for the future, “says Erik Stenfors, HANZA’s founder and CEO.

“The listing on Nasdaq Stockholm’s main list reflects the company level that HANZA has achieved. It strengthens the brand, visualizes the company and confirms the company’s progress and maturity,” says HANZA’s Chairman Mikael Smedeby.
