Atlantis Vest Invests in Flexleie and Enters the Rental Industry
Since its founding in Bergen in 2002, Flexleie has enjoyed steady development and strong organic growth. The company is a major player in the rental of lifts, personnel lifts, and machinery for the construction, civil engineering, industrial, and transportation sectors, with equipment in operation across much of Norway. Flexleie has a modern fleet of equipment
In recent years, Flexleie has worked closely with lift manufacturers to develop specialized machinery for the transportation market. As a result, Perfect Lift Sales was established in 2014 to act as a sales agent for these specialized machines in Norway and the rest of Europe. Perfect Lift Sales will also become part of the Equip Group.
“We view the acquisition of Flexleie as Atlantis Vest’s first step into an exciting industry. We hope and believe that we can contribute to the development and growth journey that Ove Lunde and his key employees have already begun. As owners, we aim to be active, long-term industry builders, and we look forward to a strong and close collaboration with the other shareholders and key personnel,” says Trond Valvik, Chief Investment Officer at Atlantis Vest and incoming Chairman of the Board at Equip Group AS.
“By bringing a solid, long-term owner on board, we hope to continue developing the company through both organic and inorganic growth, and thereby become an even more important player in the Norwegian and Scandinavian rental market. We have been in discussions with Atlantis Vest since the start of the year and have high hopes for our future collaboration,” says Ove Lunde, founder of Flexleie and now CEO of Equip Group.
