Petit Forestier Group expands into the Scandinavian Peninsula

The Petit Forestier Group is entering the Scandinavian peninsula with the acquisition of the Igloocar distribution companies, thereby strengthening its position in the industry's value chain.

Villepinte, 4 June 2024 – Petit Forestier Group, the leader in sustainable refrigerated rental, today announced that it has acquired Igloocar Nordic, Igloocar Norge, Igloocar Sverige and Isovan. This investment will enable the Group to settle for the first time, along with Lecapitaine, in the Scandinavian peninsula. These acquisitions will once again enable the Group to keep on conquering market shares throughout the world with a direct footprint in these 3 new Nordic countries where it did not previously have a presence.

Since 2004, these companies have been the official distributors of Igloocar Poland, a subsidiary of Lecapitaine, in the region. They specialise in the sale of refrigerated vehicles and refrigerated bodies in their respective geographical areas: Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

These Scandinavian companies currently manage a portfolio of high-quality customers, including dealers, cold logistics specialists and bodybuilders, and have achieved sales of €5.6 million in 2023.
Léonard FORESTIER, CEO of the Petit Forestier Group, said: "This operation will enable us to make further progress towards our ambition of becoming the leader in sustainable refrigerated rental by strengthening the distribution of our industrial activity in these 3 countries".
