Bjäre Invest and FAM invest in Moving Floor Gotland AB
Moving Floor develops, manufactures, and markets patented modules for the automated cleaning of livestock housing. The technology is designed to create cleaner and healthier animal herds while reducing environmental impact and the need for preventive antibiotic use. Bjäre Invest and FAM are now investing SEK 40 million in Moving Floor to support the industrialisation and international scaling of the company’s products.
“We are delighted that FAM and Bjäre Invest have chosen to support our efforts to provide farmers with the opportunity to operate more circular businesses with lower environmental impact and healthier animal herds,” says Peg Söderberg, CEO of Moving Floor.
“We are excited to be part of Moving Floor’s journey. The company is characterised by a strong spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship, combined with a clear focus on healthier and more sustainable livestock farming. This aligns closely with Bjäre Invest’s own values and long-term approach to value creation. With our roots in agriculture, we are proud to work alongside FAM and Moving Floor to contribute to positive change and sustainable development within modern farming,” says Per Gullstrand, CEO of Bjäre Invest.
The company currently holds around thirty patents and serves more than one hundred customers worldwide. To support its growth strategy, Moving Floor is now expanding its operations in both Gotland and Stockholm. The strategy includes a focus on large international markets such as China and Brazil. At the same time, research relating to greenhouse gas emissions and antibiotic use will continue as part of future certification efforts aligned with EU requirements concerning ammonia emissions and antibiotic use.
