The company acquired the Stockholm stock exchange in 1998 and unsuccessfully attempted acquisition of the London stock exchange in 2001.

In 2003 the Helsinki stock exchange was acquired and merged with the Stockholm Stock Exchange.

On August 31, 2004, the brand name of the company was changed to OMX, previous names include OMHEX, OM HEX, OM and Optionsmarknaden (Option Market).
