Strengthened sales organization for NTEX in Norway

Nu börjar NTEX, ett av Sveriges största privatägda transport- och logistikbolag, investera i fossilfria fordon. Först ut är en helt eldriven lastbil från Volvo Lastvagnar som kommer att användas för distribution i göteborgsregionen. Satsningen beräknas minska koldioxidutsläppen under körning med omkring 19,6 ton per år.

Since the beginning of October NTEX has taken over the responsibility for Kährs’ domestic shipments in Sweden. The expanded collaboration means that NTEX will handle approx. 24,000 shipments, or 3,200 tons, for Kährs annually.

NTEX has shipped Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s products to petrol stations around the Nordic and Baltic countries since 2018. Every week, NTEX transports petrol pumps, charging stations, terminals and level measuring equipment from Italy and Germany to Circle K, OKQ8 and ST1 among others.

Earlier this year, NTEX received a request to transport a helicopter that was in need of service from Gotland to Chicago, USA. Due to the pandemic, the mission was paused. After the summer and careful planning, dismantling and custom packaging, the helicopter was finally transported by special transport from Visby to Arlanda and on to Chicago with a chartered plane.

As Väderstad, the international manufacturer of agricultural machinery, has expanded, our assignment with them has also grown. Starting by transporting spare parts to the markets in the Baltic countries, we are now making everyday deliveries to 10 markets.

Health and safety of our employees, customers and suppliers is our highest priority. This means that we closely monitor the development and statements made by relevant authorities in the countries concerned.

Two years ago, NTEX initiated a collaboration with the customs management experts Ecus in the customs handling of transport to and from Norway. When NTEX’s Customs Manager, Jenny Wallberg, visited the Customs Podcast at the beginning of the year, she talked about how the collaboration has now expanded to the UK, and the company's customs handling in connection with Brexit.

It is now official that NTEX acquires Gothenburg-based JEK Forwarding AB, a transport company focusing on sea and air freight. This is NTEX seventh company acquisition in two years and it means that NTEX, through acquisitions and organic growth, will have a turnover of SEK 2.4-2.5 billion in 2020. This will make NTEX the largest private freight forwarder in Sweden.

The two Gothenburg-based transport and logistics companies becomes one when NTEX acquires Fraktkompaniet. Both companies are among the most expansive in the Swedish industry and the merger enables an even greater growth rate. Through the acquisition, NTEX increases its turnover by approximately 360 million SEK and welcomes 100 new employees. Fraktkompaniet will be run as an independent subsidiary under the direction of CEO Anette Yngvesson.
