Mekonomen Group signs a supplier agreement with St1
Mekonomen Group's wholesale company, Bileko Car Parts, will be the new supplier of car accessories to St1's Shell stores in Sweden. The cooperation will begin in Autumn 2018.
When St1 takes back the running of the retail operations in their Shell stations, Bileko Car Parts will become the new supplier of car accessories to the stores. St1 currently has 104 Shell stores in Sweden.
"St1's stores have a high level of accessibility and service in their offer to car owners when it comes to car-related services and products. We look forward to participating in the development of St1's new concept and contributing with our wide range and knowledge of a simpler car life”, says Tobias Narvinger, Purchasing Director Mekonomen Group.
"Developing new ideas in our convenience retail concept focusing the future is important. Having a partner who adds know how and development feels completely right", says Sofie Westman, head of Convenience Retail in St1 Sweden.
Today, Bileko Car Parts supply spare parts and car accessories to its own chains MECA and Mekonomen. In addition, the wholesale company also delivers to other B2B customers outside the Group, mainly through the warehouse in Eskilstuna. The new agreement does not initially mean a significant increase in turnover for Mekonomen Group.
