"We have previously communicated that we are evaluating our portfolio in relation to our long-term strategic objectives and capital allocation priorities. Based on this assessment, we believe that transferring Lackmästarn to dedicated entrepreneurial ownership best supports the long-term objectives of both Lackmästarn and Boreo. At the same time, the transaction creates a strong foundation for the long-term commercial partnership between FNB and Lackmästarn, and we appreciate the constructive cooperation we have had with JC Lack & Kaross AB throughout the entire process", says Richard Karlsson, SVP, Technical Trade Business Area.
