Growth plans move ahead August 1st 2008 Austrian warehouse
automation supplier Knapp
AG has purchased Swedish
logistics firm Moving AB
from Atle Industri for about
€10m.
With Moving AB having
operations in Sweden,
Denmark and Norway, the
acquisition strengthens the
position of the Knapp group
in Scandinavia and provides
the foundation for further
market development both
there and in Russia and the
Baltic States.
Eduard Wünscher,
member of Knapp's
management board,
comments "The acquisition
of Moving is part of our
growth strategy, as the
company is a good fit with
regard to geographical
location, products and
know-how. Consequently,
we are sure the acquisition
is right for us and we look to
the future with the greatest
confidence." More articles from KNAPP UK Ltd: |
