• We have wanted to the establish a Byggmax store in Nacka for a long time. Nacka is one of the most attractive areas in Sweden, and we have now found a good location for Byggmax.We hope to be able to open as soon as possible, most likely during 2014, says Magnus Agervald, CEO Byggmax.

Prästkragens väg 1 is a good location, with a large space and the opportunity to establish Byggmax's concept. Overall, a retail space of approximately 8,000 sqm is necessary, where the retail store and the drive-in occupy the most space. Byggmax's concept is based on offering customers quality products at a low prices, where customers can do a part of the job themselves to keep the costs down.

The purchase is made as an acquisition of a company, where the real estate has been assigned a value of SEK 25 million. The purchase price will be paid as a combination of buying shares in the acquired company, and settle its debt. It will be paid at once.

We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Byggmax giving us the possibility to improve our service to vehicle owners in Nacka and Värmdö. The station in Orminge, Nacka, where both light and heavy vehicles are inspected, will now be modernised and we will be able to introduce the new and effective concept that has been a successful model at previousestablishments in recent years. At the same time the real estate premises will be used in a much more efficient way, which is good from a sustainability perspective, says Benny Örnerfors, CEO in Bilprovningen.
