PAS Card International has purchased the majority of Bicoda / Plastkort Norge (Norway). The company started in 1998 and has been successful within the Norwegian retail market. The goal with the takeover is to add PAS Card’s business model and become market leading within “ID Solutions” in Norway as well. Plastkort Norge’s founder and CEO, Thomas S. Preus, will continue to run the company together with the PAS Card management.
”Our internationalization begun around this time the previous year with our establishment in Denmark. We are now taking the next step and will continue to grow within all our business areas, with the Nordic countries as a basis. It feels good to have an established and experienced partner like Plastkort Norge, this will speed up the process of developing the ID Solution concept on the Norwegian market. Plastkort Norge contributes with a, for us, completely new concept within distribution of card related products and a well-developed technical platform. That is something that we, in turn, can introduce to both Sweden and Denmark,” says Freddie Parrman, CEO of PAS Card International. “This also opens up the opportunity of more takeovers in the Nordic market.”
“The competence and the web solutions PAS Card contributes with make it possible to offer the Norwegian market a far more complete product portfolio. Getting 40 new colleagues who can support us in all that this means feels like a significant asset to us”, says Thomas S. Preus, CEO of Bicoda / Plastkort Norge.
