The renowned family business Erik A. Olssons Mekaniska Verkstad AB, located in Kristianstad, has been acquired by NPO Industrier AB. Moll Wendén has been the buyer’s legal advisor.
Erik A. Olssons Mekaniska Verkstad AB’s history dates back to the 1880’s, when the company was founded in Tollarp in the county of Kristianstad. The company has since developed and is today one of Sweden’s leading companies in advanced welding and machine cutting. On January 9th this year, Erik A. Olssons Mekaniska Verkstad AB was acquired by NPO Industrier AB, and will thus be part of a group of prominent companies together with Höganäs Verkstads AB and Osby Mekan AB. Through the acquisition, Erik A. Olssons Mekaniska Verkstad AB strengthens its position as a leading company in the engineering industry.
Moll Wendén provided ongoing advice to NPO Industrier AB prior to the acquisition. Moll Wendén’s team consisted of Stefan Wendén (lead partner), Christer Nylander and Lowe Lossing.
