Trimco Group completes acquisition of Nilörngruppen and strengthens position as a leading global player within branding and identification solutions

Trimco Group has successfully completed the recommended cash offer to the shareholders of Nilörngruppen announced on 4 May 2026, which was unanimously recommended by the Board of Directors of Nilörngruppen.

Founded in Sweden in 1977, Nilörngruppen is one of Europe’s leading providers of branding and labelling solutions for the fashion and apparel industry.

The branding and labelling industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by increasing regulatory requirements, growing demand for transparency and traceability, and continued market consolidation. With its complementary capabilities across branding and identification solutions, Trimco Group and Nilörngruppen are uniquely positioned to help customers navigate these changes through a broader product offering, enhanced innovation capabilities and an expanded global footprint.

By combining Trimco Group’s global reach with Nilörngruppen’s expertise in digital printing, RFID integration, smart labelling and digital product identification solutions, the combined business will be well positioned to accelerate innovation, strengthen customer relationships and support long-term sustainable growth.

Ricardo Lobo, CEO of Trimco Group, comments:

”Nilörngruppen is a high-quality business with an attractive, complementary position in the market for branding and identification solutions, with a strong manufacturing presence in Europe and Asia. With this transaction, we capture significant opportunities given market demand for sustainability and supply chain transparency initiatives, as well as the cross-selling of our combined bespoke product portfolio. I am looking forward to welcoming the Nilörngruppen team to Trimco Group where we together can realise the benefits from our now stronger global platform, industrial footprint, and leading product portfolio.”

Krister Magnusson, CEO of Nilörngruppen, comments:

”This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Nilörngruppen. Our team has built an outstanding company with strong customer relationships and recognised expertise in branding, labelling and digital product identification. As part of Trimco Group, we will gain access to additional global capabilities, resources and long-term investment capacity while continuing to build on the strengths that have made Nilörngruppen successful.”

Alex Yang, Chairman of Trimco Group and a Brookfield Private Equity Managing Partner, comments:

“Brookfield has been a committed owner in helping to develop Trimco Group from a regional champion to a global leader within branding and identification solutions. Bringing together Nilörngruppen and Trimco Group has a strong industrial logic with significant commercial and operational benefits. The combined company will be truly well placed to capture the attractive market opportunities that lie ahead.”

On 13 July, Trimco Group announced that it had completed the public offer following support from shareholders representing nearly 95 per cent of the shares in Nilörngruppen and that it will initiate compulsory redemption proceedings to acquire all remaining shares in Nilörngruppen and promote delisting of Nilörngruppen’s shares from Nasdaq Stockholm.
