Biography

  • Swedish industrialist Carl Bennet controls five companies on the Stockholm stock exchange.
  • His holdings include business group Lifco, medical supplies company Arjo and logistics company Elanders.
  • He also controls medical products company Getinge, which Bennet and fellow investor Rune Andersson acquired from Electrolux in 1989.
  • They ran the company together for nearly a decade before parting ways.
  • Bennet has criticized Sweden's central-left government for not doing enough to battle youth unemployment in Sweden, and proposes a German-style apprentice system.
