Relais Group is an importer and wholesaler for the automotive industry. The group focuses mainly on the development of automotive electronic equipment for trucks. Examples of products that the company supplies include lighting products, applications for warning lights, camera systems, and other spare parts for heavy vehicles. The largest operations are found in the Nordic and Baltic markets, with customers in the aftermarket industry.

If December was almost trouble-free for motorists, except for the inconvenience caused by the darkness, the beginning of January has been anything but. One can easily conclude from this that the spare parts trade has surely been brisk… and the freezing temperatures continue.

Relais’s December shareholder listing showed no extraordinary events, but nominee-registered holdings increased mainly through SEB by +24k shares. Helander Holding, conversely, decreased by -20k shares. If looking at the whole of last year, nominee-registered ownership in the company rose from  8.85% → 14.89% Of course, the biggest driver here was likely the Portuguese fund, but others have also increased their weight. One of my own investment theses for Relais is raising the valuation to the level of international peers. I would venture to say that for this to materialize, foreign capital is needed in the shareholder base. We are on the right trend

Here are Petri’s comments on Relais’s new acquisition. In the transaction, Relais’s subsidiary Strands Group is acquiring 70% of Qpax AB. The acquired company focuses on the design and manufacture of auxiliary light brackets installed on light commercial vehicles. In our view, the small acquisition is fully in line with Relais’s strategy and value creation model.

There are likely opportunities in Jällivaara to expand into maintenance services in addition to damage repairs. Margins there might also be better than in cities where there is more competition

Yet another small deal as a Christmas present  This time on the product side, a designer/manufacturer of auxiliary light bars. EDIT: The entrepreneur family remained as minority owners, and apparently a generational succession is being handled at the same time  For a serial acquirer, it is particularly important to be the preferred partner/owner in these situations.

Hi, it’s no coincidence. In Sweden, there is quite an interesting number of good and profitable repair shops that are on our radar. As our network grows and positive word spreads, entrepreneurs see us as a good and safe “home” for their repair shops. This is going exactly according to our playbook. Similarly, in Norway, there is still quite an interesting number of good repair shops that would fit our network. Of course, we are also still looking at Denmark and Finland from an acquisition perspective. Wishing a pleasant lead-up to Christmas to everyone following us on the forum! Best regards, Arni

One more deal for this year as a Christmas present: Question for @RelaisGroupOfficial: Team Verkstad is the buyer once again. The pace of this “division” seems to be accelerating in terms of deals. Is it a coincidence that Verkstad specifically has had so many deals? Or is their target market more fragmented → more small workshops to acquire?
