Intrum Justitia was founded by Sven Gorenson in 1923 and was passed down the Gorenson family to Bo Gorenson.  The company grew into a market leader in Sweden with it’s operations focusing on debt collection.  Bo Gorenson continued to successfully expand Intrum Justitia and during the 1970’s, the company developed into a Credit Management Services (CMS) specialist, focusing on debt collection in the Nordic region.
This expansion continued during the 1980's and 1990's through the acquisition of local companies with existing operations and client bases.  In the 1990’s Intrum Justitia’s share was listed on the London Stock Exchange.  The service offering was expanded and developed to include a comprehensive range of CMS services and strategic acquisitions also followed in Germany, Hungary, France, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Estonia, Czech Republic and Ireland.  Intrum Justitia was bought out from the stock exchange in the late 1990’s with the aim of restructuring its operations.
The parent Company moved to Sweden in 2002 and Intrum Justitia was introduced on Stockholmsborsen.  A number of leading CMS companies were soon acquired.Today, Intrum Justitia is Europe’s leading provider of Credit Management Services, with more than 90,000 clients and around 3,000 employees operating in 26 markets.  To complement it's international operations, it has a network of agents in 160 countries outside of Europe.
