Synsam er i sluttfasen for overtakelse av syv optikerforretninger og har nylig overtatt fem butikker på Østlandet. Kjøpene gir Synsam 73 millioner kroner i økt årlig omsetning og bringer kjeden nærmere målet om 30 prosent markedsandel i Norge.

De syv siste av transaksjonene gjennomføres før sommeren.

- Vi er svært tilfreds med kjøpene. Forretningene innfrir den kvaliteten vi skal ha, og medarbeiderne har den høye kompetansen vi skal ha ved alle våre butikker, sier administrerende direktør Johan Baklund i Synsam Norge.

Synsam er Norges og Nordens ledende optikerkjede med over 80 butikker i Norge, og 360 i Norden. Kjedens mål er å være best på brillemote og ledende i å hjelpe kundene å ta vare på synet sitt.

De syv frittstående butikkene på vestlandet som kjeden nå kjøper, representerer 50 millioner kroner i årlig omsetning, mens de forrige fem på Østlandet, omsetter for 23 millioner kroner årlig.

Offensiv satsing

- Vi har bransjens raskeste tilvekst av nye butikker og har produkter og tjenester av beste kvalitet. Disse oppkjøpene kommer i tillegg til forbedringer i selve driften. Vi er ganske enkelt blitt både mer effektive og yter bedre service til kundene. Vi styrker faghandelen gjennom effektiv kjededrift, sier Baklund.

I 2010 oppnådde Synsam Norge en EBITDA-margin på 13,5 prosent – før omstillingskostnader. 20 prosent i årets fem første måneder.. Optikerkjeden som er Nordens største, har en markedsandel på 15 prosent i Norge, og 25 prosent totalt i Norden. Read more
