Swedish Competition Authority approves PostNord’s acquisition of Green Cargo Logistics

On March 26, 2012 PostNord AB and Green Cargo AB announced their signing of an agreement for PostNord’s acquisition of Green Cargo’s subsidiary, Green Cargo Logistics AB, and its buildings and property.

Having received Competition Authority approval, the parties intend to finalize the sale by May 30, 2012 as planned.
