Gandalf buys Finnish bat.power

According to a press release, the Finnish company is a well-established distributor with a wide range and strong positions in tv, accessories, and small electrical products. Bat.Power operates a logistics centre in the Tampere region and serves the country's largest retailers, AV professionals, installers, and public customers via integrated digital processes and a 24/7 open partner store.

- We are pleased to welcome Bat.Power Oy. This is about proximity and service. We have been active in Finland from Sweden for many years, but local presence means a lot, with our own people, relationships, and infrastructure to deliver quickly and relevantly. Bat.Power Oy complements our offering, and we can significantly expand the range for Finnish partners, says CEO David Nicander in a press release from Gandalf Distribution AB.

Local on a Nordic scale

According to the press release, the acquisition gives Gandalf a local organisation and infrastructure in Finland. Bat.Power Oy has an ERP system and logistics processes with dropship capabilities and integration with retail, which will be combined with Gandalf's Nordic supplier network and operational expertise.

Strengthening the channels

- This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Bat.Power Oy and opens up for increased market coverage and faster growth. Together, we can combine Bat.Power's local expertise with Gandalf's Nordic reach and operational strength.
