JF Hillebrand acquires Lagena Distribution
JF Hillebrand has strengthened its capability to provide dedicated wine and beverage logistics services in Sweden with the acquisition of Stockholm-based Lagena Distribution. Established in 1994, Lagena Distribution is a wholly owned subsidiary of Systembolaget, the Swedish Alcohol Retail Monopoly. The acquisition further strengthens JF Hillebrand’s position in Sweden and across the Nordic and Baltic countries, which are seen as an evolving beverage market with high potential for growth and development. Lagena Distribution will retain its current brand and management team and will continue to focus on warehousing and distribution in Sweden. JF Hillebrand Sverige will focus on the existing freight forwarding business in Sweden. With a global network headquartered in Mainz, Germany, JF Hillebrand has 46 offices around the world, moving more than 1.4 billion cases of wine. Quelle: eyefortransport |
