With this acquisition, Skorstensgaard with its twenty-two innovative workshops has become a part of the Nic. Christiansen Group. It is with great satisfaction that Group CEO Niels Vrist Bertelsen receives the news. He is excited about the many opportunities that the addition of Skorstensgaard provides for the group.

"We are happy that the acquisition has finally been approved. Now, we can begin on what has been our plan with the acquisition from the start: To play each other better and benefit from the fact that the Nic. Christiansen Group now covers the entire value chain on the Danish market - and at the same time increase our footprint across the map," says Niels Vrist Bertelsen, and adds:

"In an automotive industry characterized by large changes, consolidation and acquisitions, it is our clear belief that the addition of Skorstensgaard is a significant empowerment of the Nic. Christiansen Group. It is completely in line with our strategic focus on creating growth and expanding our business. We look forward to begin the work of integrating Skorstensgaard into the group."

Continues under the name 'Skorstensgaard'

The Nic. Christiansen Group buys in as the main shareholder in Skorstensgaard, while the brothers Anders and Martin Skorstensgaard, who founded the chain in 2009, retain a minority share. Anders and Martin Skorstensgaard continue as respectively CEO and COO of the workshop chain, which continues under the Skorstensgaard name, and the two founders are looking forward to the new chapter that now awaits.

"We couldn't imagine a better match. The Nic. Christiansen Group's vision and commitment to quality and customer service is very similar to ours. They have a strong financial position and a skilled management team that focuses on growth and innovation. We are happy that we have become a part of that. Now, we put on the working gloves and lay out a joint strategy. We look forward to Skorstensgaard getting new business opportunities and more locations on the map," says Anders Skorstensgaard, while Martin Skorstensgaard adds:

"While the competition authorities have been working on the approval, we have further refined and optimized our workshop and franchise concept. Skorstensgaard now has the strongest growth foundation to date with an NPS score of a whopping 70. We are looking forward and we are ready for the future growth collaboration with Nic. Christiansen Group," says Martin Skorstensgaard.

The addition of Skorstensgaard takes place in a year when Nic. Christiansen Gruppen has greatly upgraded. The group has thus also acquired the German BMW dealer chain May & Olde and the Danish Toyota dealer chain ERA BILER.
