Trygg Hansa acquires the healthcompany Docco from Framfab Trygg Hansa, which is part of one the world's biggest insurance groups, the Royal Sun Alliance Group, is to acquire Docco, a health company in which Framfab Innovation has a 49.9 per cent shareholding. "The acquisition, which is part of Trygg Hansa's strategic venture in the health sector, provides us with huge potential in combining the old and new economies," says Håkan Danielsson, CEO of Trygg Hansa. It is intended that the venture will be exported to other countries. In contrast to many other Internet sites, the Docco site will demonstrate services over the Internet that customers are actually willing to pay for.

Docco has the necessary prerequisites for becoming a leading European player covering both corporate and private customers," says Håkan Danielsson. "There are considerable synergy effects between the companies and the acquisition will benefit all involved parties. We now have a very strong position ahead of our European launch," says Anders Lindgren, CEO of Docco. Docco has established a position as one of Sweden's leading e-health companies. In spring 2001, Docco will launch a complete package of interactive corporate services on the Internet addressing growing occupational health problems such as those related to stress, working environment, diet and exercise. Docco's range of services provides companies with completely new tools for preventive health care for employees. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase sum.
