Arneg Nordic buys Norwegian distributor
23rd August 2019ITALY/NORWAY: Arneg Nordic has acquired 70% of the shares of its Norwegian commercial refrigeration and freezing cabinet distributor Plug-In Norge AS.
Established in 2015, Plug-In Norge (formerly known as Vibocold Plug-in Norge) is already a distributer of Arneg Nordic and Arneg’s Oscartielle brand from its base in Tönsberg, southern Norway. It has eight employees and a turnover of NOK120m (€12m). The deal is said to complement the business of Kelvin AS, Arneg Nordic’s turn-key refrigeration specialist.
“For Arneg Nordic the cooperation with Plug-In Norway is a natural development on the path to continue the scope of products and customer service in Norway,” said Arneg Nordic’s deputy MD Niklas Rindhagen.
