The gum activities have comprised branded products like STIMOROL, DIROL and V6 and since 2002, development and manufacturing within Gumlink A/S of B2B gum for European supermarket chains. Today the development and manufacturing of B2B gum takes place in Turkey in a joint venture with the Yildiz group.
In Vejle, the gum production takes place within Fertin Pharma A/S. The focus is on medicated gum especially nicotine gum for the B2B market. In the beginning of 2017 Fertin Pharma A/S was sold to EQT but Bagger-Sorensen & Co. A/S kept 30 % of the shares.
For almost two decades, the Bagger-Sorensen family has also had an investment profile through the two companies: BS Invest (real estate) and Vecata Invest (investments in the venture segment). In 2020 the Bagger-Sorensen family expanded its direct investment activities establishing BS Equity focusing on direct investments in later stage and more matured companies.
