Olle Björkenström, CEO of Aroma, said: “With the acquisition of Dals Konfektyr, our ambition is to become an even more efficient and better supplier of qualitative sweets for the various weight-weight concepts, both in Sweden and abroad. At the same time, we continue to develop organic, vegan and more natural products with lower sugar content in our various product areas.”
Jörgen Johansson, the CEO of Dal Konfektyr, added: “We are three owners who have been running Dals Konfektyr for 25 years and it is really with safe hands that we now hand over the baton to Aroma as the new owner. With Aroma’s focus on quality products and solid sales organisation, they are the right buyers to take over and develop the factory in Bengtsfors.”
