Eden Springs group enters the Danish HOD market

with the acquisition of Rent A Cooler Denmark, which was part of the Carlsberg group. Rent A Cooler Denmark is the co-leader of the Danish HOD market with its base in Copenhagen and a presence throughout the country. The company was part of the Rent A Cooler group, which Eden acquired from Carlsberg in early 2002.

Carlsberg had an option to sell Rent A Cooler Denmark to Eden, which it exercised on December 20, 2002.

For Eden Springs, the entry into Denmark ensures a leadership presence in all Nordic markets (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia).

It will also allow us to centralize regionally some services and gain in efficiency.
