Waldec Oy Ab, based in Vantaa Finland, has acquired the Estonian company CLE Baltic OÜ.

Waldec currently operates in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and St. Petersburg as an agent for premium Industrial brands. Through this acquisition Waldec will additionally gain access to the whole Baltic market.
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have a
combined population of six million. The workforce is young and dynamic and the
economies are among the fastest growing in Europe. Thus it was a strategic
decision to expand Waldec’s activities to the Baltic countries.

who will all follow with the purchase into the new company structure. CLE
Baltic will continue its activity as an independent subsidiary of Waldec Oy Ab.
Mr.Roland Rebane remains in his position as Managing Director of CLE. The

boost to the future sales in both companies. Mr. Christer Gustaf Lindholm also
remains at CLE Baltic as a senior advisor.
