Carnegie acted as financial adviser to the owners of Lomax in the sale to Lyreco

Lyreco has entered into an agreement to acquire the shares in Lomax A/S for an undisclosed amount. Lomax’s leading B2B e-commerce position in Denmark has enabled the company to continuously outgrow the market in the last decade. This transaction allows Lyreco as an international player to capitalise on the e-commerce capabilities in Lomax and distribute the knowledge on a European scale. In addition, Lomax’s strong SME base with focus on direct sales will complement Lyreco’s position within contract sales to large and public companies nicely.
