Nordic multi-brand car dealership group selling and servicing Volvo, BMW and other brands across Sweden and Norway.
Nordic multi-brand car dealership group selling and servicing Volvo, BMW and other brands across Sweden and Norway.
Sells new and used cars as an authorised dealer and earns steadier profit from workshop service, spare parts and tyres on the cars it sells and the wider car base in its areas. Volvo is its largest brand, and its contracts with manufacturers set bonus and margin rules.
In one line: A Nordic auto-dealership group like a smaller Lithia Motors.
Moat: narrow (scale, distribution, brand). Scale across many dealership locations and OEM relationships, though auto retail margins are thin and competitive.
Headquarters: Gothenburg, Sweden · Founded: 1937 · Employees: 5,663
