After the bankruptcy of the travel group Thomas Cook, many have shown interest in taking over the Nordic part of the business.
– In such a turbulent situation when these things happen, an incredible number of people are getting in touch. Over the past 24 hours, several have shown their interest, says Magnus Wikner, CEO of Vinggruppen in the Nordics.
Ving has been a profitable part of Thomas Cook, which has now gone bankrupt. According to the latest annual report, the Nordic operations had a turnover of almost 15.7 billion kronor and a profit of 1.5 billion.
The company's CEO Magnus Wikner says that the focus of the bankruptcy trustees in London is that Vinggruppen in the Nordics should continue its operations and be sold.
This spring, the Swedish-German venture capital company Triton showed interest in Ving through a non-binding offer. Today, Triton does not want to comment on whether the interest remains, but Ving's CEO thinks that Triton would be a good owner.
– I absolutely believe so, Magnus Wikner.
Is Triton one of those who have heard from you?
– I'll take the opportunity to answer that question.
