Villepinte, France: Petit Forestier Group is entering the Scandinavian market peninsula with the acquisition of Igloocar, a reefer distribution company.
The acquisition of Igloocar Nordic, Igloocar Norge, Igloocar Sverige and Isovan, will enable the group to gain market share in these Nordic countries where it did not previously have a presence.
Since 2004, these companies have been the official distributors of Igloocar Poland, a subsidiary of Lecapitaine, in the region. They specialise in the sale of refrigerated vehicles and refrigerated bodies in their respective geographical areas: Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
These Scandinavian companies currently manage a portfolio of high-quality customers, including dealers, cold logistics specialists and bodybuilders, and have achieved sales of €5.6m in 2023.
Léonard Forestier, chief executive, Petit Forestier, said: “This operation will enable us to make further progress towards our ambition of becoming the leader in sustainable refrigerated rental by strengthening the distribution of our industrial activity in these 3 countries”.
