Information on the target
Dekkbørsen, located in the Rige Industrial Area of Kristiansand, has been a prominent player in the tire market, specializing as a comprehensive supplier of tires, rims, and tire hotel services for motorcycles, passenger cars, and light commercial vehicles. In December 2025, Dekkbørsen was acquired by Dekkmesteren, a rapidly expanding chain within the tire industry in Southern Norway. This acquisition marks a significant step for both companies, as Dekkbørsen will now leverage Dekkmesteren's resources and market presence to enhance its offerings and operational capabilities.

With a dedicated team of four permanent employees, all of whom will remain with the company post-acquisition, Dekkbørsen is well-positioned to capitalize on the synergies created through this merger.
