Providing smart choices for everyday healthcare
We want to give people control over their everyday healthcare. By empowering them to make smarter choices, we believe we can enhance their quality of life and help them live life to the fullest.
Our vision is clear, and our goals are ambitious. We strive to build a responsible, highly profitable, fast-growing, and differentiated omnichannel consumer healthcare company, with distinctive brands and strong category leadership. We aim to double our size and become a EUR 1 billion company through organic growth and strategic mergers and acquisitions.
Working to Realise Our Vision
Ambitious goals require a strong foundation, and we’ve already laid the groundwork to turn our vision into reality. From our strong Nordic core, we’ve expanded our business geographically through Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) – within and beyond Europe. We’ve strengthened and consolidated our brand portfolio, and our top 10 brands account for more than 60% of our revenues. Additionally, significant advancements in digital commerce, creative design, and e-commerce have further solidified our position as industry leaders.
All in all, the state of Karo’s status today gives us a solid launch pad to become a European leader in everyday healthcare.

Working together across functions and borders, we connect with our colleagues, partners and end users to define the best way forward.
Act
Progress is in our DNA. For us, ‘go’ means ‘all in’ – but never at the expense of integrity. We achieve our goals through trust and strong execution.
