CIBES LIFT GROUP ACQUIRES SWEDEN’S HISS I SKÅNE
Elevator manufacturer Cibes Lift Group, which is headquartered in Gävle, Sweden, and has roughly 560 employees worldwide, recently acquired Hiss i Skåne, a lift modernization, installation and maintenance specialist based in Malmö, Sweden, that has close to 30 employees. With approximately 2,200 lifts under service today, Hiss i Skåne was founded in 2006 by Urban Strandberg, Stefan Laffrenzen and Anders Claus and has grown to become the largest privately owned lift company in the Skåne region. "The acquisition is perfectly in line with our growth strategy and will both strengthen our position in southern Sweden and broaden our operations and expertise in service and aftersales,” Cibes CEO Per Lidström observes. “Furthermore, Hiss i Skåne will benefit from Cibes' strength in product development, marketing and sales."
