Ahlsell – Ahlsell strengthens its position in workwear and personal protective equipment in eastern Norway through the acquisition of Proffklær AS

Ahlsell Norge AS has entered into an agreement to acquire all shares in Proffklær AS, one of Norway’s largest independent suppliers of workwear, promotional clothing and personal protective equipment. 

 

The company has 18 employees and the turnover in 2022 amounted to 90 MNOK.

The business includes an outlet, online store and a warehouse with operations in Brobekk, Oslo. The company is an Eco-Lighthouse company and a member of Grønt Punkt.

 

Added value for customers 

The acquisition of Proffklær AS is an important step in our continued efforts to broaden our offering in workwear and personal protective equipment. With the acquisition, we further strengthen our position as a supplier of first-class products and services in the market. Proffklær’s customers now have access to Ahlsell’s broad product portfolio, comprehensive logistics solutions and service offering.

 

Strengthened offer of fall protection equipment, service and training 

Through this acquisition, Ahlsell’s customers in various industries also gain access to increased expertise and a strengthened range of fall protection equipment. Ahlsell already offers equipment, courses and service in this area, but will now have even greater capacity and higher competence for carrying out important training. Repair and service also help the equipment last longer, providing both an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for customers.

 

Closing is expected to take place in early June.

More information on Eco-Lighthouse Certification: https://eco-lighthouse.org/ + The Eco-Lighthouse (ELH) certification scheme is Norway’s most widely used environmental management system, with nearly 6700 valid certificates.

Through easily-implemented, concrete, relevant and profitable (in the widest sense: local, regional, global) measures, enterprises can improve their environmental performance, control their environmental impact and prove their dedication to corporate responsibility. The Eco-Lighthouse is a valuable tool for authorities and for small, medium-sized and large enterprises in the quest for sustainability and increased eco-efficiency.

The Eco-Lighthouse certification scheme integrates environmental management and both internal and external environmental measures, into the Norwegian Regulations relating to Systematic Health, Environmental and Safety Activities in Enterprises (Internal Control Regulations). Being Eco-Lighthouse certified thus equals full compliance with the Internal Control Regulations and with the relevant environmental regulations pertaining to the enterprise.

The Eco-Lighthouse Foundation is the first national certification scheme in Europe to be recognised by the European Commission. The recognition verifies that the scheme holds the standard and quality on a par with international eco-labelling schemes (EMAS and ISO 14001).
