A leading player

New Store Europe is one of the leading players in the European market. Consolidated sales for 2010 were €125m and sales forecast for 2012 is €250m.

50% of our business comes from customers we have partnered with for more than 15 years. Our largest customer accounts for approximately 10% of sales revenue.

The Group is in a strong financial position with a healthy equity ratio. In April 2010 Herkules Private Equity Fund became the majority shareholder in NSE (83%). The remainder of the shares are split amongst the former majority holders, the company management & other employees (17%).

Herkules, No. 1 Private Equity in Norway, has three private equity funds totaling €15.5 billion.
In March 2011, New Store Europe joined forces with the UK division of Kleerex Retail Services Group, a sophisticated retail services provider. In December 2011 New Store Europe aquired Shopex in the Netherlands. The combined company will become a leading store fixtures and interiors company in Europe.

With these partnerships New Store Europe has strengthened its European presence and become one of a few companies with the capability to serve multinational retailers across Europe. The combined group employs more than 850 people.
