In 2014, Axel Johnson Inc. companies had revenues of approximately $5.3 billion, employed in excess of 2,000 people and served over 30,000 wholesale and trade customers. AJI is a private investment company, founded in 1920, and owned by the Johnson family of Stockholm, Sweden. Axel Johnson Inc. acquires and invests in companies to own and operate them, with the goal of building long-term enterprise value. Some of the companies in Axel Johnson Inc.'s portfolio have been part of the group for over 40 years. We take great pride in the companies that have chosen to be part of Axel Johnson Inc. and in the work they do every day. We, in turn, work hard each day to sustain the trust that the companies' founders, owners, management and employees put in us at the time they joined us. We seek to create shareholder value and improve the world around us through the exercise of good business values. We are keenly aware that what we create, and how we conduct ourselves while doing so, is the legacy we leave behind.
