The transaction is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter (Q1) of 2024 and is not expected to significantly impact the group’s profit after tax, HAKI said. 

HAKI Safety president and CEO Sverker Lindberg said: “The operation has been part of the HAKI Safety group since 2009 and has served us well. But with HAKI Safety’s strategy change, from a conglomerate to today’s industrial group, focusing on safety products and solutions at temporary workplaces, it simply does not fit into the future HAKI Safety that we are currently building.  

“I am therefore very pleased to be able to communicate this transaction and I wish the operation, its management, and new owners all the best in the future.”
