I’m happy that Bilia through the acquisition of City Däck Öresund AB can expand the strategically important tyre business to for Bilia a new and broader customer segment. In the future, Bilia will be able to take care of the tyre business for all car brands. Bilia wants to expand the business and has a new establishment plan for the future. Furthermore, City Däck Öresund complements our current business and our previous acquisition of En Bättre Däckaffär. City Däck Öresund will be part of a business area newly established for Bilia, that initially focuses on tyres, rims and wheels.”

Hussen Hassoun, MD City Däck Öresund AB and seller, comments:
