Obton's employees can become co-owners in the company through our shares program. More than 200 employees have taken up the offer since we launched our shares program in 2018.

Many of them have even invested several times.

Employees get a share of the profits

Our employee shareholders all received a decent payout in summer 2021 after the partial sale to FSN Capital.

"This was evidence that the employees' confidence in the company paid off, and here at Obton we have been incredibly pleased that we could repay that trust," says Andreas Jakobsen, Chief Human Resources Officer at Obton.

Shares are 'the icing on the cake'

The shares program has helped retain skilled employees at Obton.

Most importantly, however, the shares program has motivated the employees. They receive a direct benefit from their extra efforts.

"It might be the icing on the cake that means that we succeed as employees and as a business. That the employees are ready to make that extra effort to achieve our goals, because they know that ultimately, it will benefit the business and therefore also the employees themselves," says Andreas Jakobsen.

Obton celebrates community spirit

Obton is a company that prioritises community spirit. This is reflected, for example, in our informal Friday bar or at the big annual Kick-Off trip.

"The common denominator is fellowship, which is why a shares program for employees makes so much sense, as we can celebrate the company's success together," says Andreas Jakobsen, Chief Human Resources Officer at Obton.
