The group’s subsidiary Team Verkstad has agreed to acquire TJ Fordonsservice AB, which provides maintenance and repair services for trucks and other heavy commercial vehicles. This small acquisition aligns with Relais' strategy and value creation model, as the company is investing to strengthen its geographical position in the Swedish market with presumably high capital return levels.
Maintenance and repair services in southern Stockholm
Relais announced on Thursday that its group company Team Verkstad had agreed to acquire 100% of TJ Fordonsservice AB. The target company provides maintenance and repair services for trucks and other heavy commercial vehicles in Södertälje, southern Stockholm. Its revenue for the fiscal year ending in August 2025 was 31 MSEK (~2.8 MEUR), and its EBIT was 2.6 MSEK (~0.2 MEUR), indicating that the company's profitability has been good and in line with normal industry levels. The closing of the acquisition took place on Thursday, and the company will be consolidated into the Relais Group beginning in November.
Arrangement in accordance with strategy and value creation model
Through this acquisition, Relais continues to expand its geographical coverage in the Nordic vehicle aftermarket, investing the cash flow generated by the company's operations into growth. The acquisition price was not disclosed, but we believe the valuation remained moderate, in line with Relais' historical acquisitions, so we estimate the return on capital from the transaction will be attractive, i.e., higher than the cost of capital. Thus, the targeted acquisition (add-on acquisition) now announced is in line with the company's strategy and value creation model. The acquisition is small in scale for Relais, corresponding to less than 1% of our forecast for Relais' 2026 revenue (445 MEUR) and EBITA result (47.8 MEUR). We will consider the arrangement in our forecasts in connection with our next company report.
