Däckverket is being established through four acquisitions
Today, we are pleased to announce the formation of Däckverket, a new and dynamic ownership entity in the tire service industry. This launch is not just a vision; it also marks the significant acquisition of four leading companies that form the foundation for our continued growth journey: Geko Däckservice, Tälje Däckservice, Däckarna i Mellerud, and Däck & Fälg i Åkersberga. The initiative is led by experienced entrepreneurs and investors Lennart Walerud and Dariush Ghatan, together with a group of well-respected business leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs, with C-H Svanberg AB as the largest individual investor, as well as well-known figures in the tire service industry such as Markus Eriksson, Pär Eriksson, and Håkan Berg, all of whom are board members of Däckteam.
A strong start with four initial acquisitions
Däckverket is taking a significant step forward by integrating Geko Däckservice, Tälje Däckservice, Däckarna in Mellerud, and Däck & Fälg in Åkersberga from the outset. This underscores our ambition and ability to act quickly and efficiently. Our goal is to acquire and manage additional tire service shops, where each unit continues to operate autonomously while we jointly develop business projects to further strengthen the operations moving forward.
“Kicking off Däckverket’s journey with such high-profile acquisitions is both exciting and an honor. It’s an excellent start to our collaboration with Pär, Markus, and Håkan, who together will bring invaluable industry knowledge and experience to our business.”
— Lennart Walerud, Däckverket co-founder
A combination of experience and innovation
With Lennart Walerud and Dariush Ghatan’s long track record as entrepreneurs and investors, and with Pär, Markus, and Håkan’s deep industry knowledge and experience in the tire service sector, Däckverket is well-equipped to develop and strengthen every single workshop in its network.
“Our goal is for every workshop to retain its unique identity and any chain affiliation, regardless of whether it is part of a chain or independent. We see a growing need for a reputable ownership entity that can offer entrepreneurs both the opportunity to capitalize on the value of their business and continue to play an active role in its development, while also benefiting from the group’s continued value growth. Our goal with Däckverket is to create a platform where ownership meets entrepreneurship.”
— Markus Eriksson
The Vision for Däckverket
Däckverket is more than just an investment firm; it is a platform for growth, innovation, and collaboration. With strong acquisitions from day one, a plan to add more soon, and a management team comprised of industry leaders, we look forward to creating an environment where tire service shops not only achieve strong profitability but also thrive under our shared ownership.
“From north to south, we see a multitude of successful tire service entrepreneurs who now have the opportunity to realize the value of their businesses while joining an ownership group backed by experienced business builders and investors to continue creating value. The market constantly sets new demands and has new expectations, whether we’re talking about passenger cars or commercial vehicles. In this new constellation, we can tackle challenges as well as opportunities with shared energy and a passion for our work.”
