Fellestransport becomes an integral part of Greencarrier Norway

With effect from 1 November 2009, the Norwegian freight forwarder AS Fellestransport will change its name to Greencarrier Norway and merge its activities with those of the existing company Greencarrier Norway. All of its staff will become Greencarrier employees so providing the company's existing clients with the benefit of service continuity.

Fellestransport was acquired by the Swedish company Greencarrier International in 2006 but retained its independence and continued its activities as a privately owned transport and forwarding company offering a wide range of services by road, sea and air. Meanwhile Greencarrier Norway, which has been an integral member of Greencarrier International since 2001, has developed its business along similar lines to those of Fellestransport but with much closer links to Greencarrier International's fast-growing global network.

A merging of the two companies was inevitable, explains Niklas Olsson, Managing Director and CEO of Greencarrier International:

"We believe that Fellestransport can develop much more quickly as an integral member of the Greencarrier family and will benefit from its use of the Greencarrier brand, which is becoming well-known throughout Scandinavia and the Baltic regions."

Greencarrier Norway will retain both its own agency network and the former Fellestransport network, providing it with a large and proven team of associates around the world.

At this stage, the former Fellestransport offices will be retained but there will be new telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. These are:

PO Box 264
