Ahlsell Norge AS acquires wholesaler within workwear and supplies

Ahlsell Norge AS has entered into an agreement to acquire all shares in Jan Atle Jakobsen Engros AS. The company has an annual turnover of approximately NOK 26 million.

Jakobsen Engros sells work wear and supplies in Sortland in the region Vesterålen. The acquisition gives Ahlsell an increased presence in the region, especially for customers in the construction, fishing and real estate sectors.

The growth will now continue in close cooperation between the two businesses, where Jakobsen’s strong position locally and their assortment will be combined with Ahlsell’s wide product range, digital solutions and sustainable logistics solutions to increase competitiveness and give both new and existing customers a larger and better offering.

Closing will take place on 1 September 2021.
