CHERVON Group acquires FLEX Scandinavia AB

A strategic step to strengthen the FLEX and EGO brands

Steinheim, May 2024: FLEX-Verwaltungs GmbH & Co KG acquires the former FLEX Scandinavia AB from the Ahlsell Group with effect from June 1, 2024. This strategic acquisition marks another milestone in CHERVON's history and underlines the Group's continued commitment to growth, innovation and providing best-in-class solutions to its customers worldwide.

With this acquisition, the CHERVON Group expands its presence primarily in the Swedish and Scandinavian markets and strengthens its position as one of the leading suppliers in the power tool and outdoor power equipment industries. FLEX Scandinavia AB, with an excellent reputation for quality and customer experience, has for years shared the values and vision for the FLEX and EGO brands of the CHERVON Group, making this acquisition an ideal step towards joint future success. Karlstad will remain the headquarters for future expansion in Sweden.

 A strategic step to strengthen the FLEX and EGO brands

By integrating FLEX Scandinavia AB into the CHERVON Group's global network for the FLEX and EGO brands, the company will be able to extend its reach, improve the efficiency of its supply chain and bring new products to market even faster.

The use of a common infrastructure in Sweden enables synergy effects that will lead to sustainable growth of all brands within the CHERVON Group.

Commitment to quality and customer satisfaction
