Kavli and Druvan to merge
Following the acquisition of Druvan earlier this year, Kavli is now in the process of merging the two companies. A new joint organisation will be set up during the autumn. As from 1 January 2012, the operation will run under the Kavli name.
By working as a single company, Kavli will streamline internal administration and strengthen the company’s marketing resources.
“By merging Kavli and Druvan, we will create a significantly stronger company, while preserving the best of each company. The aim is to achieve a more efficient organisation so that we can improve our offer to customers and consumers, with increased resources for product development, innovation and sales”, says Gerhard Bley, CEO of the consolidated company.
Production will continue at the present plants in Eslöv and Älvsjö. All brands will be retained.
Marketing will be organised into three regions, centred on Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg. In addition, Kavli will develop the Key Account Managers structure to meet the differing needs of the retail and F&S/Industry sectors.
As a consequence of the merger, 15 members of staff in administration and sales at Kavli and Druvan will be redundant. Kavli has instituted Codetermination Act negotiations on these changes.
Kavli will now have sales in the region of SEK 700 million, and greater resources will be available to invest in innovation and product development, and to strengthen marketing. The merged company will have around 200 employees.
