Carthiel advised the sellers of Glaskedjan on the sale of all shares to Saint-Gobain
Advokatfirman CARTHIEL AB has advised the sellers of Glaskedjan i Sverige AB on the sale of all shares in the company to Saint-Gobain.
Glassdrive, Saint-Gobain's specialist fitting network for vehicle glass, has acquired Glaskedjan i Sverige AB, Sweden's leading network of independent glaziers. The deal is a significant step in Glassdrive's European expansion and strengthens Saint-Gobain Sekurit AGR's commitment to high-quality vehicle glass services across Europe.
Glaskedjan was founded in 2010 and has built a strong position in vehicle and flat glass through a nationwide network of locally owned glaziers. The network today comprises more than 90 units and is a valued partner for car owners, insurers, vehicle fleets, and private and corporate customers across Sweden.
The acquisition combines Glaskedjan's commitment, craftsmanship and entrepreneurial culture with Saint-Gobain's global resources, industrial expertise and digital innovation. The shared ambition is to create new opportunities for the network's members while continuing to deliver outstanding service to customers throughout Sweden.
A key principle of the deal is to preserve Glaskedjan's identity, values and local roots. Glaskedjan will continue to be a strong brand in the Swedish market. Through the new partnership, the network gains access to additional expertise, resources and development opportunities, while its entrepreneurial spirit and customer focus remain unchanged.
