Paragon Group Acquires Holmbergs

Blog Publisher’s Comments:

Although the note on Holmbergs’ web-site says, “Holmbergs gets new owners”, I think it should have said this, Holmbergs gets new owners, again.

Holmbergs, one of Sweden’s largest reprographics/digital printing companies was previously acquired by Service Point Solutions, on April 30^th, 2011.  This time around, the acquirer is Paragon Group, the same enterprise that recently acquired Service Point UK.  After Service Point Solutions acquired Holmbergs, Jimmie Holmbergs joined SPS’ Board of Directors and, later on, for a brief period of time, served as Managing Director of Service Point Solutions.

This morning, one of our blog-visitors (who asked to remain anonymous) alerted me to the announcement, on Holmbergs’ web-site, about Paragon Group’s acquisition of Holmbergs.  For those of you who are fluent in Swedish, here’s the Swedish-language (and “official”) version of the announcement:

And, for those of you who aren’t fluent in Swedish, here’s an English-language “Google-Translate” translated version of the announcement.  Please keep in mind that Google-Translate translations are not perfect (and, in many cases, read a bit weird.)
