Björk.Eklund Group acquires a one-third stake

Formerly BTG was owned wholly by its management. However, the shares have now been divided equally between Greencargo OY, owned by the Finnish Laitinen family, BTG’s management headed by Marijus Zilinskas and Marius Tamosaitis, and the Björk.Eklund Group.

Baltic Transport Group is a sub-agent in Lithuania for the Björk.Eklund companies representing Evergreen, Hatsu Marine and Italia Marittima (formerly Lloyd Triestino). BTG also operates as a forwarder in Lithuania.

Björk.Eklund is both a liner agency and a forwarder and operates in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Spain. It represents Evergreen, Hatsu and Italia Marittima in the three Scandinavian countries and Höegh Autoliners, EVA Air, Nissan Motor Car Carrier, Euro Marine Carrier and SCA Transforest in Sweden.
