Argynnis Group AB has acquired the British company The Vehicle Group Ltd (TVG), bolstering its position as a leading provider of equipment for emergency, special, and commercial vehicles in Europe.
Argynnis Group AB, a Swedish family-owned industrial conglomerate founded in 1984, continues its expansion with the acquisition of TVG. The group is known for nurturing niche companies that offer unique products and technologies aimed at professional customers. Previously segmented into three Business Units—Standby Group, Binar Industrial Solutions, and Heating and Drying Group—Argynnis has now inaugurated a fourth unit dedicated to commercial vehicles, facilitated by this acquisition.
TVG, established in 1997 by Graeme Frankland, has garnered a reputation for its innovative solutions in the commercial fleet sector. These solutions include Fleet Management and Asset Tracking, Telematics, and Solar Power Green Fleet Solutions. Moreover, TVG’s Oculux brand, renowned for its superior visual quality and reliability, represents a premium range of cameras designed and developed in-house.
Leif Gustavsson, CEO of Argynnis Group, articulated the strategic importance of this acquisition: ‘At Argynnis, we always look to increase the potency of our group with complementary products and technologies. We are excited to welcome TVG into the Argynnis family. Their innovative products and talented team perfectly complement our vision and strategic objectives. This acquisition accelerates our ability to innovate, expands our market reach, and delivers even greater value to our customers.’
Graeme Frankland, the original founder of TVG, expressed enthusiasm for the integration, stating: ‘We are delighted now to be part of a larger group with such energy and look forward to growing in this innovative organisation with its Swedish values and collaborative approach.’
The acquisition of TVG by Argynnis Group AB marks a significant step in enhancing the group’s portfolio and market presence. With the inclusion of TVG’s advanced solutions and expert team, Argynnis is well-positioned to deliver comprehensive and cutting-edge services to an expanding customer base.
