About Melker Schorling & family
Melker Sch?rling laid the foundation for his wealth when he accepted the CEO role of troubled security-giant Securitas in 1987.
A little more than a decade later, he set up Melker Sch?rling AB as a holding company for his investments.
The company holds stakes in precision-measuring tool maker Hexagon and lock manufacturer Assa Abloy.
Citing health reasons, Sch?rling left all positions in the company in 2017, and has been replaced by his daughters Sofia and M?rta.
Soon after he stepped down, the family, together with H&M billionaire Stefan Persson, took the company private.
