Woodland buys Sweden’s WBS Nordic

[ August 14, 2023   //   ]

Essex forwarding and logistics company Woodland Group has acquired Sweden-based WBS Nordic, following the part-acquisition of WBS UK by Woodland in September 2021. WBS Nordic has been owned by Dag and Anna Hannerz since 2010 and specialises in the print and publishing industry across the Nordic region.

Former WBS Nordic business development manager Fredrik Tauberman becomes a director.

Managing director of WBS UK and director of WBS Nordic, David Burnham, commented: “Joining forces with Woodland Group in 2021 has enabled us to lean on the Group’s significant strength and resources, and we’re now able to further build on this by adding our own in-house team in the Nordics to further create and streamline solutions and opportunities for clients and team members alike.”

Woodland group finance director, Chris Watts, added: “Taking WBS Nordic under full ownership of WBS UK and Woodland Group will allow us to establish a cohesive approach to our high level of customer service, supply chain solutions, and our continuous drive to future-proof our clients’ supply chains while creating opportunities for development and growth for all stakeholders.”
