Consafe Logistics and Captura build strong Logistics group with focus on Europe

05.06.2007

Captura ASA was acquired earlier this year by Christer Ericsson’s JCE Group. From 1 July 2007, Captura will be integrated into the Consafe Logistics Group as one company in the JCE group of companies. The company will change name to Consafe Logistics.

Consafe Logistics has consolidated its position as Scandinavia’s leading supplier of logistics solutions and takes the fight to its European competition. The company’s goals are high and it has widened its portfolio even further by combining Captura’s products and expertise with its market-leading Warehouse Management Systems and unique Supply Chain Execution.

”Consafe Logistics and Captura are the perfect complement for each other, both regarding products and markets. While Consafe Logistics is extremely strong within Warehouse & Distribution, Captura’s solutions enable us to offer our customers downstream solutions in the supply chain after goods have left the warehouse. Captura is the market leader in mobile solutions and is active within the transport, retail and field automation segments. Consafe Logistics’ wider market presence in Europe will enable Captura to expand.” Says Ulf Wallin, CEO, Consafe Logistics Group.

Consafe Logistics Group’s product and service offer is divided into four business areas; Supply Chain Consulting, Warehouse & Distribution, Manufacturing and Mobile Solutions.

“Our goal is for continued growth, both organically and through acquisitions, focusing on markets where we are already established and successful, but also through expansion into other areas such as Eastern Europe. Consafe Logistics acquired a company in Poland in 2006 where we are very successful. Today we are one of the top 3* suppliers on the list of Warehouse Management Systems in Europe and in the world’s top 10”, Says Ulf Wallin.

“Captura had a fantastic result in 2006 and we are very happy to merge together with combined strength to work towards the same goals. We are a strong group with a far-reaching customer base in all industries and installations in many European markets. Together we form an extremely competitive logistics group with a striking product portfolio”, says Jan Hansen, Group Chief Executive, Captura ASA.
