TransAtlantic sells property to Tjörns Sparbank
The decision of moving TransAtlantic’s headquarters from Skärhamn to Gothenburg, Sweden, was made last Spring, in 2011. The transfer is now finalized and TransAtlantic’s former house property in Skärhamn is sold. New owners are Tjörns Sparbank.
- We have for quite some time been looking for bigger space for our business, says Magnus Flyckt, CEO at Tjörns Sparbank in Skärhamn. When the opportunity of acquiring this property turned up we saw our chance. It matches our needs from many perspectives so we are very delighted.
The property will belong to Tjörns Sparbank from March 15, 2012 and after some reconstruction they count on being able to welcoming their customers to their new address later this year.
- This feels like an excellent solution, says Folke Patriksson, one of the founders of TransAtlantic and currently Vice Chairman in TransAtlantic’s Board. The house will now also be available for the public and we wish Tjörns Sparbank the best of luck with their new premises.
The purchase price for the mortgage free property amounted to 30 MSEK.
