Bolloré Logistics, which ranks among the world’s top 10 in transport and logistics, has taken a significant leap forward in the Nordics with the acquisition of a majority stake in the Swedish company Global Freight Solutions AB and its Finnish affiliate. The freight forwarder G-Solutions which has operated under the Global Freight Solutions AB (G-Solutions) name up to now, will use Bolloré Logistics brand with immediate effect.
This strategic milestone thus complements the regional network following the previous implementation in Norway and Denmark. Having its headquarters in the Swedish maritime hub of Gothenburg, with an additional office in Stockholm, and a branch in the Finnish capital Helsinki, G-Solutions is part of the Bolloré Logistics network since 2019. The remaining process of partnership reinforces the company’s presence in Europe, focusing on the development of the Nordic markets. It also marks the founding of two new subsidiaries: Bolloré Logistics Sweden AB and Bolloré Logistics Finland OY.
The Nordic company offers a comprehensive portfolio of services and creates synergies with many of the Bolloré Logistics’ industry verticals, such as mining, power, automotive, aeronautics and defence, telecom, high-tech, healthcare, and retail.

This allows us to offer our Swedish and Finnish customers a wide portfolio of competitive services in multimodal transport, warehousing, customs clearance, IT systems, with the strong ability for designing some tailor-made and innovative solutions.”
Commenting on the news, David Smith, CEO Northern Europe of Bolloré Logistics added: “This important progression secures the strategic objective of an owned and rapidly expanding network in the Nordics.

I would like to pay tribute to Johan Moerth and his wider teams for their strong contribution ever since joining the company.
