Some of our clients
The story of brand security
1994
Domain names obtainable in Sweden
Entrepreneurs Hans Thorén and Per-Anders Hurtigh are among the first to give the public an opportunity to acquire domain names and hosting solutions.
1999
Sweden's first ICANN registrar
The monopoly on .COM is abolished and ICANN is formed. Our journey starts with the company becoming Sweden's very first ICANN-accredited registrar. This means that we also are Europe's third and the world's seventh registrar.
EARLY 20000S
Protection for intellectual property grows
In the early 2000s, companies see an increased need to monitor and strengthen their intellectual property rights. Ports Group becomes an early player in brand management, which contributes to the company's continued strong growth.
LATE 2000S
The world’s organizations go online
Digitization is gaining momentum and the world is changing rapidly. It is now a matter of course for all businesses to be available online and on social media. This development attracts the interest of criminals, who see opportunities to commit new types of fraud by taking advantage of the security loopholes that now expose companies and their data.
2016
A vision for Brand Security
Ports Group becomes even more pronounced in its vision to protect brand assets around the world. Our new aim is to become an all-in-one partner in Brand Security as we have the in-house expertise required to deliver a complete solution for all disciplines of brand protection.
2018
Ports Management is launched
Companies are seeing a growing need to gather, review and manage their global brand assets. We see an opportunity to create a digital solution where customers can make purchases and renewals themselves, but also get a comprehensive overview of their asset portfolio. This originates the development of our pioneering customer platform Ports Management.
2022
The growth journey has begun
An eventful year characterized by growth, both organically and through the acquisition of three companies. During the year, Otmore, CoreBiz and Inbrand are bought and our Nordic market share is further strengthened.
2023
A European IP-powerhouse
Our European presence is greatly strengthened when we acquire BRANDIT. We now have around 140 employees in offices in Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Malta and Turkey, among others. With this acquisition, both our customer base and our assets within the Domains and Trademark segments are expanded.
