Greencarrier to open in Denmark
The Gothenburg-headquartered logistics specialist
Greencarrier will open its first office in Denmark with the renaming on 1
March, 2010 of the recently acquired NTN Denmark A/S. To be known in future as
Greencarrier Denmark A/S, the company is based in Copenhagen where it has two
offices, one in Herlev and one in Glostrup. Contact details for its
headquarters in Herlev are:
Turbinvej 11 2730 Herlev Denmark.
Tel: +45 44 88 10 20.
Greencarrier has been
expanding its presence throughout Scandinavia and the Baltic region and the
creation of Greencarrier Denmark fills an important gap in its coverage.
Greencarrier is active in the sea, air and road freight sectors and is
particularly strong in the trades to and from Asia.
Niklas Olsson, MD Greencarrier International,
commented:
"We are happy finally to open Greencarrier
in Denmark, which is strategically very important for us, enabling us to be a
complete partner in Scandinavia. With the opening of Greencarrier in Herlev, we
will have a good base for further expansion in the region."
Established in 1994, Greencarrier is present in eight
Scandinavian and Baltic countries: Sweden, Finland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania, Ukraine and now Denmark. It also has offices in Hong Kong and
Shanghai. In total, it employs 275 people.
NTN Denmark was one of 16 companies acquired at the
end of December last year by Greencarrier's parent company, the
Björk.Eklund Group. All 16 had been part of the Norwegian Transport
Network Group.
Schianders Intersped AS
Another of the 16 companies acquired from NTN in
December, Oslo-based Schianders Intersped AS, will also become part of
Greencarrier at the beginning of March. Specialising in road transport,
distribution and warehousing, it will temporarily adopt the name Greencarrier
Intersped AS until later this year when it will be merged into Greencarrier
Norway AS.
It will retain all of its account-handling staff in
order to maintain continuity with its existing customer base. According to
Greencarrier, there will be no redundancies and contact details will remain as
before.
